  • Walther & Franz Koenig Verlag
  • by Ed.: Friedrich Meschede
On the occasion of the 50th anniversary of the Kunsthalle Bielefeld, which was built by Philip Johnson (1966-68), the American artist Dennis Adams created a sculpture for the forecourt that simultaneously functions as a bus shelter on Bielefeld's public transport network. A significant part of the sculpture are two monitors, on which phrases - the "confessions" in the title - are displayed as a film.

Description

On the occasion of the 50th anniversary of the Kunsthalle Bielefeld, which was built by Philip Johnson (1966–68), the American artist Dennis Adams created a sculpture for the forecourt that simultaneously functions as a bus shelter on Bielefeld’s public transport network. A significant part of the sculpture are two monitors, on which phrases - the “confessions” in the title - are displayed as a film. The sum of all the individual German and English phrases – some quotes, some invented by Adams – comes to a total runtime of two hours. It is not to be expected that anyone will read them all in situ – this publication therefore brings all of the confessions together, documenting an essential element of the sculpture.
