Description: On the occasion of the 50th anniversary of the Kunsthalle Bielefeld, which was built by Philip Johnson (1966?68), the American artist Dennis Adams created a sculpture for the forecourt that simultaneously functions as a bus shelter on Bielefeld?s public transport network.0A significant part of the sculpture are two monitors, on which phrases - the ?confessions? in the title - are displayed as a film. The sum of all the individual German and English phrases - some quotes, some invented by Adams ? comes to a total runtime of two hours. It is not to be expected that anyone will read them all in situ ? this publication therefore brings all of the confessions together, documenting an essential element of the sculpture.00Exhibition: Kunsthalle Bielefeld, Germany (installed 2018).
