German Pavilion

"How are you going to behave? A kitchen cat speaks"
La Biennale di Venezia 2009
"Gillick has transferred his own daily working environment – his kitchen used as an improvised studio – to the German Pavilion. The kitchen-like structure has been constructed from simple pine wood. Lacking in appliances the “kitchen” exists as a diagram of aspiration, function and an echo of applied modernism that resonates in opposition to the corrupted grandeur of the pavilion, which was designed without lavatories, kitchen or any area to rest. The cabinets puncture the doorways leading to the side rooms. The kitchen is in tension with the logic of the building. You could even say it is a legacy of functional modernism that exists to work against the ideology of the pavilion architecture." (txt: http://www.deutscher-pavillon.org/english/home.htm)
