Martin Kippenberger

This book documents for the first time the artist Martin Kippenberger's conceptual project for a global subway system. Begun in 1992, this work consists of imaginary subway entrances and ventilator shafts placed at diverse locations around the globe. Called the "Metro-Net Project," Kippenberger's creation (one "entrance" was exhibited at documenta) allows the viewer to consider ways in which the world has become smaller.
