Mein Bier. Dein Bier.
My beer. Your beer.
by Marlene Haring, 2005

Installation: 1 beer tent, 4 tables, 8 benches, 1 bar, 150 litres of beer, 12 ashtrays, 96 beer mugs, 2 blackboards, drinkers, Quartier 21, Museums Quartier, Vienna

A beer tent was put into a gallery space located in Vienna's Museums Quartier, which has become a leisure area. For the opening of the exhibition beer was served by a brewery. For the duration of the exhibition the condition of the place after the opening was preserved. No other piece was shown. The exhibition was reduced to the essential act of the opening: drinking and socialising.
