Limited Art Project

For dOCUMENTA (13), artist Yan Lei has created a large-scale installation of paintings in the documenta-Halle. Produced, one per day, in the year prior to the exhibition, the 360 figurative paintings are displayed in museum racks and hang from the ceilings and walls, filling the entire room. During the 100 days of dOCUMENTA (13), three to four paintings are taken out of the display every day, brought to the nearby Volkswagen car factory at Baunatal, inserted into the industrial production line, and sprayed with car paint. They are then returned to the exhibition, slowly turning the room into a display of monochromes.
