An experiment in self-organization and an early questioning of the spaces in which one can present art, the exhibition came about during Obrist’s days as a student of political economics at the University of St. Gallen in Switzerland.” “It was about organizing an exhibition in a very unspectacular setting.” - Hans Ulrich Obrist.
