| your coloring book - a wandering installation 1996-1998 audience participatory installations in 1995 i was invited to make an exhibition at the casco project space in utrecht, the netherlands, which is on the same street as the former offices of the dutch nazi party (1942-1945); curiously, this provincial city bore no visible signs of its dark past. your coloring book hovers on the border between childhood innocence and deliberate manipulation. the viewer is invited to feel the unprejudiced perceptions of a child, yet is unable to do so because of his or her contradictory adult consciousness. after the utrecht installation, the project traveled to five cities with a specific historical connection to the holocaust. the exhibition took on a different character in each location, incorporating local furniture and icons. in each city, the visitors, media, and even government reacted very differently. your coloring book - a wandering installation concluded two years later in amsterdam’s stedelijk museum with an exhibition documenting these personal and sometimes extreme responses. |
