Although it is one of the artist's most fascinating projects, his premature death in 1997 meant that it could only be implemented in rudimentary form. In 1993, a metro entrance was built on the Greek island of Syros, followed by two more: one in 1995, in Dawson City in Canada, and the other in 1997, on the new Leipzig exhibition grounds. These structures proposed a means of traveling in the boundless space of the imagination: without the willingness to visualize tunnel tubes and moving underground trains, this project remains a \"nonsensical building plan.\" But the moment we accept the artwork as a mode of transport for \"mind travelers,\" then the full power of this work unfolds. Documented in this volume, Kippenberger's METRO-\u003ci\u003eNet\u003c\/i\u003e was intended to counter life's predictable, rationally oriented parameters with a romantic sense of the world.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 144\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.63 x 9.06 x 6.85 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e April 26, 2022\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47175192510713,"sku":"9783959054850","price":47.25,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0789\/2782\/3097\/files\/RzNHcEw3MENEbVpIb2JKUUxFRmUzUT09.webp?v=1767662158","url":"https:\/\/bookscloud.io\/products\/martin-kippenberger-metro-net-hardcover","provider":"BooksCloud Book Dropshipping","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
