5. Hamburger Kunsthalle (2002)
creator(s) Barbara Sommermeyer (conservator)

After the Art Fair in Basle the installation was prepared and set up at the Gallery of Contemporary Art at the Hamburger Kunsthalle in 2002. The artist prepared for more space but nevertheless held on to the sections presented at the art fair in Basel. He expanded the rooms and included new card board boxes that were ordered in Germany, because boxes from former installations were not available. They were newly painted and marked in preparation of the re-installation by art handling assistents. Unaware the fact that measurements of card board boxes generally differ between England, where taken form the outside body, and Germany, where they are measured inside, the installation was finally set up with two types of boxes: Original ones - being slightly smaller and rather pale – and new ones – being slightly larger, stronger in material and darker in colour tone.
