Andreas Hofer
Installation – édition
Exhibition from February 12 to March 24, 1990
Opening February 10, 1990
Presentation of the edition and installation in the Parc de Malagnou in front of the Centre, of the six double-sided panels (remained in place from 1989 to 2000)
In the park in front of the Centre, will be installed a series of panels similar to those used for road signs, except that the discs do not present the conventional acronyms, but abstract signs, perforated or enamelled. Planted following each other, these six panels will turn into a succession of targets, bringing confusion on the actual function of the set and an ironic dash to omnipresence in our cities of the signs and its procession of prohibited. (Véronique Bacchetta, extract from the press release)
