On the occasion of Decade: Contemporary Collecting 2002-2012, Albright-Knox Art Gallery, Buffalo .
with Schuyler Maehl, piano.
Rehabilitated sculptures where unveiled the opening event of Contemporary Collecting 2002-2012. Lasting about two hours, accompanied by life piano music, the audience, enjoying themselves with conversation and sparkling liquids, first watching and then touching the sculptures .
The sculptures where put on top of classical white plinth that where reluctantly pushed towards one corner of the exibition space.
After a while it dawned upon the audience: The resin and wax was transformed into skin and bone, the on top became a trough and soon hands where caressed and an ass kissed.
finally rehabilitated, gelatin became sculpture, or the sculpture gelatin, once again.
