AP144.S2.D144
Description:
File documents a contribution to an exhibition hosted by the Aedes Galerie in Berlin, Germany, entitled "Berlin - Denkmal oder Denkmodell?". Price's contribution is centred around the concept of four "Annual Portals", monumental (but disassemblable and movable) structures which are apparently meant to guide the long-term flow of citizens' urban activities as they live in and eventually leave the city. Material in this file was produced in 1979 and between 1987 and 1988, but predominantly in 1988. File contains conceptual drawings, presentation panels, models, photographic materials and textual records.

Thomas Demand gives a Mellon lecture describing the limitations but also the strange pre-eminence of models as artefacts. The artist, who has presented mid-career retrospectives at both MOMA and the Neue Nationalgalerie in Berlin, argues that whilst models describe a fragment of our surroundings, it is difficult to prove them wrong.
