Hast ein Kaiser. Bist ein Kaiser (If you have a Kaiser, you are an emperor)
by Marlene Haring, 2005

installation on the occasion of a group show at the Kunstpavillon Innsbruck: beer tent, 8 tables, 8 table cloths, 8 glases with sand and candles, 1 bar, 100 litres of Kaiser beer, 8 ashtrays, 100 elegant beer glases, blackboard, drinkers, Hofgarten

A beer tent — looking surprisingly similar to the Kunstpavillon — was put opposite the gallery space located in the Hofgarten in Innsbruck. On the occasion of the opening at the Kunstpavillon, Kaiser (emperor) beer was served in a suitable atmosphere. The tent was cleared out in the end of the evening and remained as an empty white shell where it stood for a few days.
