A small temporary public art work placed in Berlin Biennial sculpture garden. The space is defined by an other art work made out of same type of material.

Don’t ask me what the relationship between these two sites is. There were many inspiring elements in both of them ;)

I had to spend some time in IKEA to get some furniture for Ali, who recently moved to Berlin after a long immigration battle with the Germany’s backward immigration offices.

Next day we visited Berlin Biennial Sculpture Garden. It follows the new trend in the art world; keen appreciation of art made out of junk materials… When you place them in a junky yard, however, they blend into the scene, the distinction between art and ‘nature’ gets blurry, you lose your orientation, no signage, no directions, no curatorial text that can interrupt your experience (hehe). In that sense the sculpture garden was a successful curatorial attempt, however artists could be a bit more surprising
