The White Cube And Contemporary Exhibiting Models

Seminar 18 May, 2001 at Portikus, Frankfurt

A Nifca seminar in collaboration with Portikus, Frankfurt


NIFCA’s collaboration with Portikus for Michael Elmgreen & Ingar Dragset’s project led to dramatically revised architecture of this archetypal white cube. This has subsequently been appropriated as a social space by Rirkrit Tiravanija and will be used for an informal discussion around the subject of the white cube.

Co-hosted by Daniel Birnbaum & Rebecca Gordon Nesbitt, short presentations will be made by the artists Elmgreen, Dragset and Tiravanija, joined by Hans Ulrich Obrist, Vanessa Müller and others. The seminar will be broadcast live on the Internet & digital contributions are invited.
