Some Context is structured around 20,000 copies of The Situation, a book made up of transcribed, edited and censored conversations between the artist and friends about ‘the situation’. This theme is interpreted differently in each conversation. The books provide the stuffing—in shredded form—for the ‘transitional objects’ also displayed in the space, and will be shredded at the end of the exhibition.
