Vorfahrt (Right of Way)
Art between Private and Public
Edited by W. Seitz
An unusual book on an extraordinary art event: the exhibition project and all works shown are presented and discussed in a staggering array of illustrations and accompanying texts. One hundred artists were selected from Germany and abroad to show two hundred works, most of them developed expressly for VORFAHRT, on the private property of about one hundred and thirty participants, who live in Birkenwaldstraße. Their balconies, windows, front yards and garages thus became exciting places for encounters with cutting-edge positions in contemporary art. Unlike Jan Hoet?s legendary ?Chambres d?amis? project in Ghent, which used private dwellings as ?branches? of a museum twenty years ago, VORFAHRT investigates the possibilities of present art in everyday living right at the interface between private and public space.
