Ten stainless steel boxes, a tongue-in-cheek reference to Donald Judd’s polished artworks, were carried around for several days by “wish-collectors” in Amsterdam, Berlin, Frankfurt, Graz, Imola and Rome.
A form of traveling public art, that is implicitly a critique of corporate public art, often imposed on the public in the form of monumental sculptures and spectacular, bureaucratic aestheticism.
In “Wunschsammlung” form doesn´t coincide with content, rather it creates a field of tension between the visible and the invisible. Wishes jotted down on paper and deposited in these boxes will never be read, content will remain forever hidden and elusive.
Meaning is created in the space of this fleeting encounter between strangers, with the box acting as a catalyst of the process.
