The artist finds it idiotic that on all-saints day a public remembrance service for fallen SS comrades is allowed by the authorities.

Berlin artist M. Petersen is surprised that he has been arrested now, because he has been selling his sausages since 2001.

He has claimed damages of 1.150 euro for the confiscated artworks. 2002 - Berlin artist Klaus Weber is cultivating the enormously strong mushrooms Agaricus bitorquis (Trottoirchampignons). These mushrooms can make holes in asphalt road surfaces. An open space behind the Mendelssohnstrasse was asphalted and spores of the mushroom (that can lift six kilograms) were seeded under the surface. Already the first mushrooms are beginning to surface.The artist was assisted by the Mushroom Research Group of Berlin Brandenburg. They found the initial mushroom and collected the spores on a sheet paper. The spores were placed in a nutritive solution, in which the white slimy mycelium could grow. Then the mycelium could grow further in boiled wheat grains. The infected grains were planted in boreholes in the asphalt in September. The mature mushrooms will be harvested and eaten. 2003  Wolfram Kastner distributed tickets for Munichs air-raid bunkers.

The artist protests against a figurative representation on the church wall, which shows a sow and a Jew underneath sucking from its tits.

Kastner wants the church to place a sign explaining the meaning of the sculpture and a statement by the church on its meaning. 1992  Maurizio Cattelan: The night before the opening I let myself down from the windows and ran away.

The grant money they received was exchanged for bills and each dollar bill was stamped with the phrase : p.t.t red dollar  money for cultural purposes and subsequently put into circulation. Genuine money was enriched artistically, but it kept its value, it did not become a work of art, but remained viable currency, until the American Bank took would withdraw it from circulation. 2000 - Heath Bunting writes: The perfect project for me is walking down the street, looking at something, having an idea and having it finished by the evening. Like the X project, it's just a graffiti project. I would graffiti a URL, and if people were interested and saw it and noted it down and visited that site, it would ask them where they saw it, who they thought did it and why and it would keep a log of that information. So it's a log of my travels and of what people think of graffiti. I think that's my favourite project, it's very, very simple but it's going five years now. 1993 - Christian Hasucha - Small iron platforms were constructed for the 50 participants of Intervention P. An anonymous group of actors were selected by sending out invitation letters and reply forms.

Out of three thousand photographs included in the project, Wilder has selected twelve. These range from the vaguely plausible, to the obviously preposterous, including a photograph of a shaved monkey presented to the military as evidence of alien life. 19?? - Cologne artist Parzival (Frank Poersch) felt inspired by an urgent need. Being severely inebriated the artist relieved himself in a Cologne shopping street and afterwards he made a photographic documentation called " Kölner Pissecken" (Cologne pissing corners).

When the selected recipients refused to accept the grant, Cattelan took the money and ran to New York. 1993  Aernout Mik created a living installation for a space in the modern conference center La Vie in Utrecht. While the entire building was buzzing with activities, in classrooms and meeting rooms, in a small room on the fifth floor a number of people lay asleep on beds in the semi darkness. Complete silence prevailed. Only the quiet regular breathing of those asleep could be heard. 1995  In room 208 of the Stedelijk Museum Aernout Mik has arranged a group of museum guards. Some are real people, others are dummies clothed in the guards uniforms. They are indistinct figures and their personalities are flattened by their uniform appearance and reticent behavior that is prescribed by the museum rules. Due to the likeness of the static (dummy) and living figures a strong sense of suspense arises, and ones view of the guards in the museum is changed. I always try to obtain permission to use the pictures. But sometimes the webmaster or owner of the website are unreachable. Sometimes the webmaster doesn't know the address of the artist or photographer. Sometimes the artist doesn't answer my mail. Sometimes the source of the picture is unknown.<br>
