Publisher's Synopsis
This book documents Steinbach's installation North East South West at Neuer Berliner Kunstverein and Haus der Kunst Munchen, as well as selected installations since 1979. For this work the artist produced video interviews with residents of Berlin and Munich about the objects they have in their homes. Borrowing these objects from his interviewees, he 'arranges the arrangements', giving the objects a new visibility. Employing a scaffolding system as a display device, Steinbach delineates spaces, channeling people towards new and unexpected relationships and meanings.
