cleaning the toilet.

This is a performance-concept developed for museums of modern art. It is thought as a series of performances that refers to the famous artwork fountain and the discussion around its origination of the recent years.

At the beginning of a new day, in the early morning, a dirty toilet is cleaned in front of the museum of modern arts. When it is totally clean again, its signed with the initials E.v.F.L. for Elsa von Freytag-Loringhoven. This is also the birth of a sculpture with the title “Muschel” (the german word is connected to the toilet bowl but also to the Woman as Muse and as Venus).

This performance is planned to happen 17 times in total - because there are 17 replicas of fountain - and is intended for the Museums in Dada-cities.
