Overcoming Obstacles
‘I see it as the museum’s duty to take such risks’
Entering the exhibition Open Ended is at your own risk. Because to see all the installations, you must overcome a few obstacles. Museum director Benno Tempel: ‘Similarly as you would undergo a ritual, you should also experience this exhibition, rather than simply observing it.’
