daniel buuren monumenta

Situated work and construction in situ for solo exhibitions in Marseilles, at ARCA in 1984 and in the Centre de la Vieille Charité in 1985.

This hut is a parallelepiped 4.20 m long, 2.80 m wide and 2.80 m high set up in the middle of the gallery. The ceiling of the hut is lined with white cotton vellum and the walls consist of frames covered with blue and white striped fabric. The frames are assembled with clamps and the joins of the pieces of fabric form a white stripe which is covered with white paint. Geometrical “doors” and “windows” are cut out of the walls of the hut and projected on the walls around it.
