Sugar-Stuttgart

In reflection on a city ‘s different codes and information, a game with the name of the city of Stuttgart gave rise Maximiliano Piperno / Mikadoo ‘s work. The name of the city became usable, concrete, an object. Implemented on different scales, the work played with the context in which it was presented; as an art object on a pedestal and protected by a display case in the museum context or as a seat in the entrance hall. In the exhibition , SUGAR – STUTTGART was also accompanied by drawings.

From architecture and urban development to image building and tourism, or surveillance systems, the aim was to investigate the spectacularisation and marketing of cities.
