everything
in parts
emails from the beginning, especially with Anna and the curators, about the question of the relationship between museums and their artists and strategies for improving it, expressing many concerns and frustrations,
a Reclam booklet of Plato’s Symposium from a seminar at Die Angewandte in 2009 with Sloterdijk in Vienna,
the idea of a symposium from a feminist perspective,
a library about Eros and power, desire and finding self-consciousness in it, begun with the help of Patrizia, Franzi, Giampaolo, Lisa, Nastja and still growing,
a poem by Sappho that I rewrote and expanded for the unfamed,
a stamp on flower silk with another poem by Sappho, which sings of unattainability and that I made in memory of my late lesbian aunt Susa, my most important companion from the beyond for this work,
the idea of a cake in the shape and color of the museum,
the real failed cake for a film shoot with Nastja and Paulina, jewelry by APHER®, and algae from the Isar,
the uncut film material, audio recordings with Natalie,
over thirty drinking bowls made by companion artists during ’21 for a banquet in the future,
a 40-meter-long fabric patiently woven by Evelyn over the course of more than two years,
an ink drawing I made on the paper-covered studio floor in Upstate New York,
a drawing on a Twombly rose postcard of the BMuseum as an invitation card for my intervention there,
two oil crayon drawings on City Light Posters of the BMuseum installed outside the museum,
100 MEUSEM BRANDHORST honorary membership cards produced and authenticated by the New York Board of Taste, for free admission between September 3 and 15, 2024,
an invitation to a joint tin casting on September 1 for local artists and curators,
the tin figures created, placed inside the curator’s model of the BMuseum’s Roses Gallery, carrying our desires into the museum, shown together with the floor drawing in the Roses Gallery of the BMuseum, with the woven tent hanging above it, installed via a thread motor located in the museum’s attic designed by Wolfgang, together with a publication in which you all can read here,
to retrace the 1000 invisible strands that converge in the visible part of the work, which will finally and performatively be taken down by and with @nnast_antn, carried out of the BMuseum and celebrated and concluded in the Bdirector’s office with a Twombly cake sculpture cake baked by Nina, together with a small group of companions from the last four years.
