OK here’s the text, rather than wait for some German-speaking fan to translate: In November 1969, as another part of the '6 Projekte' at Kunstmuseum (Museum of Arts) in Lucerne, Dieter for some reason decided to have rats killed and call it “art” by doing it elaborately: each museum visitor were assigned a number that corresponded to a purple-painted caged rat with the same number. As the rat was let out of the cage it was given poison that would kill it within 15 minutes in a vivacious death struggle (apparently this was legal at the time!).

I guess some of our German members can translate or summarize better than I can, but I understood enough. /JW ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Yello mailing list Yello@mailman.xmission.com http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/yello Report list abuse to list-abuse at studio-nibble.com -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- _______________________________________________ Yello mailing list Yello@mailman.xmission.com http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/yello Report list abuse to list-abuse at studio-nibble.com
