Marjolijn Dijkman / Wouter Osterholt
‘Tunnel’ (2004) by Marjolijn Dijkman and Wouter Osterholt.
Installed at Sign, Groningen (NL).
The intervention consisted of a tunnel built through the gallery space that transformed the non-public space of the gallery into a public space. Removing one of the windows at the front and a garage door at the back allowed twenty-four hour access through the tunnel.

Bas Schevers, ‘Kinderfiets (Children’s bicycle)’ (2001)
Bas Schevers stole a child’s bicycle from a front yard and left the owners a note, saying that he stole it for an art exhibition and that they could have it back if they came by on the night of the opening.
At the opening Bas was sitting by a table with a sandwich toaster in front of him. The owners of the bicycle could choose whether they wanted the bicycle back and take the toaster too, or if they wanted the bicycle back and have a conversation with the artist about his motivations for stealing the bike.
