Forgetting, video installation in the bathroom toilet.

 

Assocreation's Walk of Fame works on both "ends" of the gallery, creating phenomena of rise and fall. At the entrance, a red carpet guides both visitor and artist into a sacred space of the art world. The installation also refers to the artists' big expectations coming to America. But the carpet is made out of coarse street brooms lying downside up on the pavement. Walking inside the space that defines itself as a vessel for the arts becomes a balancing act honored with a new kind of grace and cleaned shoes. The summit will be discovered at the exit of the gallery where the visitor can observe in the bathroom toilet the 1937 sinking of an American ship in the Mississippi River (footage from an Austrofascist newsreel from the Austrian Film Museum).
