KIOSK II, inveted to the special exhibition 'Sculpture Cologne', Art Cologne 1998 began when the main object, the Kiosk, along with prints, videos and technologies were transported to the hall. Waiting in the back of the van for the rain to let up, the driver was curious about what we were up to. During that dialogue it became clear we needed a precarious floor and a spread of wooden palettes would do that. The driver offered to help and the next morning heaps of soggy palettes collected and 'liberated' i suppose from various sites around Cologne awaited us in our installation space at the hall. Once the floor was set, the 'Black Sea Diary', Arctic Circle' and 'ØtherLands' zones or islands took on form and visitors navigated this space between precarious reality and an equally precarious virtuality became the sculpture.

ARCTIC CIRCLE zone w. 'double video', laptop website, performance photos, drawings, bear carpet, rubber bear, website printout, email slideshow and bedding.
