INHABITED SCULPTURES
The inhabited sculpture as a form of presentation on the one hand refers to the salons of the 19th century and on the other hand is a form of instantistic collective art, which has been developing as part of the Zürich squatters movement since the mid 1990s. The exhibited artworks were built on site and often the artists collaborated spontaneously. Through this process the authorship of the artworks becomes increasingly difficult to define. By placing the art pieces next to furniture from the junkyard and found objects from the street, the concept of the priceless artwork is put into question. The inhabited sculpture also defies the ruling conception of art as a product of an individual artist.
