2000-05-28 until 2000-10-31
Hannover EXPO 2000
Hannover, ,
DE Germany
At the main freight depot in Hanover, the artist Gerhard Merz will be erecting a
pavilion of steel, clear and white glass, illuminated by 10,000 neon lights. This
pavilion is the centre-piece of the four-part exhibition Hanover: 2000,
organised by the 'Kunstverein Hannover'
The other parts of the exhibition can
be viewed at the 'Kuenstlerhaus Hannover': A Studiolo with the artist's works,
a passage made of glass and steel and a library. With this exhibition, Merz
places himself in the tradition on modernity. He refers directly to Ludwig Mies
van der Rohe's famous pavilion of the World Exposition 1928/29 in Barcelona.
