‘Fragile Monumente (Groupshow)’ (2009) by Killian Rüthemann and
Untitled (2008), also by Killian Rüthemann
Maria Eichhorn‘s exhibition ‘Das Geld der Kunsthalle Bern / Money at the Kunsthalle Bern’ (2000) resulted from her research into funding of the exhibition and her decision to devote the entire budget for her show to the renovation of the building. The entire museum was on show during this renovation and visitors could watch the process from up close, even in rooms that were normally hidden from view.

Being originally a Hoodoo custom (Hoodoo = a form of predominantly African-American traditional folk magic, mostly found in the Southern United States), bottle trees were made as a means of protecting the home by trapping evil spirits within the colorful bottles. Though scarce today, bottle trees are still created for their artistic appeal.

Christian N. Halsted and Jakob Ohrt / Doublethink Studio
‘Picadilly Circus’, an intervention by Christian Halsted and Jakob Ohrt (Doublethink Studio)
Halsted and Ohrt set up a free information service in one of the busiest areas of London and tried to give people whatever they wanted.
“The Doublethink Project is a research-project on various aspects of contemporary public service undertaken by Doublethink. In an attempt to comprehend this popular term, find out who it’s for and who it’s from we came up with 8 alternative abstractions on how to understand and study it.”
More examples of services on their website.
