Hannes Broecker - Drink Away The Art |
Wednesday, 21 November 2007 |
Forget about wandering through an art gallery and wondering if you’re
the only one who has no idea what anything means. Hannes Broecker
has brilliantly invited the cultural elite to grab a glass at an
exhibition in Dresden, Germany, and drink away the art.
Regardless of what we do or do not understand about art, we can all
agree, it stimulates our senses. Broecker has aroused our sense
of taste (not to mention eliminated the need of elbowing our way to the
bar) by hanging flat, glass containers with a variety of cocktails in
the exhibition space. As the night progressed, the levels of the
multi-coloured infusions diminished. By the end of the event, the
art, itself, ran dry, and empty drinking glasses were returned to where
they were originally placed. By Andrew J Wiener.
