AHMET ÖĞÜT - BLACK DIAMOND - Het Oog Van Abbe Museum - Eindhoven




through December 31th 2010

From 4 July 2010 visitors can discover happiness in the Van Abbemuseum. Ahmet Öğüt (1981, Diyarbakir, Turkey) has then filled the entire space of Het Oog (The Eye) with twelve tonnes of coal and has buried a little piece of the museum in the mountains he created. This "museum piece" has been removed from a wall inside the museum and is there replaced by a valuable diamond. If the “museum piece” is found by one of the quest visitors, this will lead to happiness, when the museum piece is placed back into the museum and the finder becomes the owner of the diamond.
