The basic idea is do dominate certain space and keep the running costs low by having exhibitions "en miniature". This concept is similar to the way, "Art Klinika" deals with their "Shock Gallery" in Novi Sad. The difference lies in smaller dimensions, so it is much easier to run the "vanished gallery" and I can move it. But this solution is also about the relation between "analogue space" and "virtual reality".

I did it first in 2003, travelling with my colleague, the painter Josef Schuetzenhoefer. We were getting on loction, of course without any permission, to find out, what it is about "public space" in times, when the state sells more and more of it to private companies.

So that means in the end, we also connected our "vanished gallery" with public space in a temporary mode and made the centers of towns and villages part of it for some hours.
