Hôtel Carlton Palace Chambre 763

In 1993 Hans Ulrich Obrist organised an unannounced exhibition with works by 70 artists in the 12 square metres of a hotel room in Paris. He also lived in the room for the duration of the exhibition. Among the participating artists were Alighiero Boetti, Hans-Peter Feldmann, Fischli&Weiss, Isa Genzken, Dominique Gonzalez-Foerster, Felix Gonzalez-Torres, Douglas Gordon, Raymond Hains, Annette Messager, Michelangelo Pistoletto, Gerhard Richter, Allen Ruppersberg, Reiner Ruthenbeck, Andreas Slominski, and Erwin Wurm. With this publication Hans Ulrich Obrist takes the reader on an imaginary tour through his legendary exhibition... The book is published on the occasion of a re-interpretation of this extraordinary show, within the framework of the exhibition "Room Service: On The Hotel in the Arts and Artists in the Hotel" at Staatliche Kunsthalle Baden-Baden, 2014."--Cover.
