The exhibition was in keeping with the dynamics of the creation process of this catalogue. The base material for the exhibition consisted of over 600 large cardboard boxes, literally the building blocks. At the beginning of the process these boxes filled the entire location, a large municipal garage. The removal, shifting and stacking of boxes within this vast area resulted in communal spaces: for a lecture room, a bookshop and a kitchen.
The students created their own work space in the area, and used the boxes they had to remove to do so to create walls and surfaces on which they displayed their work.
The exhibition was ever moving, and never complete. Depending on the unexpected dynamics of the creation of the publication, boxes were removed, relocated or transformed. The movement stopped only when the publication was completed and had taken over the position of the exhibition on 24 June.
