Thorsten Brinkmann calls Kurt Schwitters one of his most important "art heroes." So naturally, the artist was intrigued by an invitation to convert an entire building into an art project: between 2011 and 2013 he transformed a deserted house in Pittsburgh, decorated in 1970s style, into a total work of art. Over the space of four stories Brinkmann (* 1971 in Herne) created more than dozen new rooms; in some places he took over the ensembles he found there, turning them into readymades. After his intervention, the unusual work of art now features, among other things, a boxing ring, a cinema, many of the artist's photographic works, and a forest room (including a tent for camping at home), and last, but not least, a Raleigh chopper for Amazons.
For this limited and signed set, Brinkmann combines an LP from the abandoned record collection with a booklet that provides a look inside the house.
