March 24, 2006: The bird
flu / vogelgrippe vehicle with the high cockle sound from inside stays
exactly in front of Kunst Werke on the day of the opening of the Berlin
Biennale:
the project is underlined
as special event by the Biennale and is enclosed into its list of
connected
events.
BIRD FLU / VOGELGRIPPE: BERLIN STATION
The incredible/strange/wired
coincidence:
just on March 25, on the day after
the presence of the Bird Flu vehicle in the city there was on the
covers
of all media the news about
the first case of "Vogelgrippe" in
Berlin.
This is the unbelievable encounter
between
art and real daily life!
Maurizio Cattelan, one of
the three curators of the Biennale, stays in front of the cockling
vehicle.
People choose the viral
badges in the court of Kunst Werke,
but also the Tyroler
midgets
- the little performers involved by Katarzyna Kozyra - love them.
The German Tv Deutsche
Welle
is shooting the bird flu truck for a reportage about the Berlin
Biennale.
In Berlin the vehicle
turns
around the Siegessaule column with the angel in front of the
Brandenburger
Tor, symbols of past influences.
