ITEM NO: 20007 SIZE: 15 in x 6.5 in / 38cm x 17cm MATERIAL: Aluminum, glass and printing EDITION: 500 US$400.00 Quantity Andreas Slominski is best known for his humorous elaborate tricks. In many instances the object exhibited in the gallery is the culmination of an elaborate sequence of events. Slominski often covers his tracks,chapters of the narrative vanish, leaving only some very perplexing signs. In' The Streetlamp with Tire' he makes an ordinary activity into a work of art. For instance, his placing of the bicycle tire on the street lamp required that the street lamp be dug up, lifted out, tire placed and then the site set back to the original condition. The tire was placed, not from above which would have appeared to be the natural solution, but from below. The video and picture documentation survive the events. For his Wrong Gallery exhibition crated by Anna-Catharina Gebbers, he removed the gallery door on 20th St, shipped it to Hamburg to host a dinner party and then retuned it to New York.
