Andrea Fraser and Clegg & Guttmann proposed to erect an
extra-architectural presentation of works of art from
the collections of the participating museums. After
long and extensive preparation with all the organizing
participants, this idea of was put under the carpet by
Stichting Hofvijvermusea en Stroom/hcbk.
Although from the start the proposal was clear in its
consequences and no new information was added in course
of the time, the collaboration stopped and financial
resources were blocked when the proposal came to its
realization. But it was not the intention of the artists
to make a 'conceptual' or 'proposed' work.
'Real' works make 'things' real.
What these 'things' were you can read in the proposal
and 'history of presumption', or chronology, which
are accessible on the net.
