On show is the concept and model of a work by the collective DARTS (disappearing artists): a reenactment of a work by Abramvovic / Ulay (communist body, fascist body, 1979). Abramovic / Ulay had invited guests to a birthday party, but had gone to sleep beforehand. The guests "celebrated" quietly while the couple slept. In the DARTS reenactment concept, the two-storey bed model is shown in which the eight artists would have liked to lie down, in a shaft on the banks of the Rhine. But they canceled the action at the last moment with the following justification: "A sleeping couple can become art, but a sleeping collective is a scandal."
