The black and yellow field of letters accentuates the length of the museum’s forecourt. It consists of the names of 160 exemplary artists who are represented at the Berlinische Galerie; these names are strung together in continuous rows. For a visitor standing in the middle of the field, it is difficult to separate familiar names from unfamiliar ones. Malapropisms and funny misinterpretations often are the result. Read vertically or diagonally, nonsensical poems emerge - a reference to Berlin Dada, an important part of the Berlinische Galerie’s collection. Children enjoy spelling their names by jumping from letter to letter.
