Happy Sack Denim Re-edition, 1994-2012 (left)

Denim sack, filled with styrofoam, felt

Happy Sack is a large "bean bag"—a massive sack made of thick fabric, in this case denim, filled with styrofoam pellets. It is a sculptural object but can also be used as a seat. Displayed on an iPad, a video with an avatar gives a short introduction to the exhibition.

Elliptical Song Drawing Machine, 2014 (back)

Drawing machine with Red Lipstick pen and MP3 player

The work is an automated machine that draws on the wall. It executes elliptical lines creating rounded shapes (somewhat reminiscent of human doodling); like earlier drawing machines by the artist this one reacts to a particular impulse. The machine's movements are generated via an integrated internal microphone that plays three MP3 compositions released by the artist’s music label ABCDLP.

Several brightly colored LPs released by the artist's record label ABCDLP are placed next to a red vinyl record player turntable. Two heavy yellow felt curtains hang from a curvilinear metal railing, creating a semi-private enclosure, and also function as acoustic insulation, at the same time intensifying the sound inside.
