and at the German Consulate General, Berlin-based Constantin Hartenstein's work (video HERE) opens a discussion on migrating carpets and migrating people: he wants to be with his American boyfriend but although there are 6 states where it is legal is not a Federal law. So he is unable to obtain a long-tern visa.
Makes for very interesting juxtaposition with Simon Dinnerstein's painting The Fulbright Triptych (1971) (NYT review) and Stephan Balkenhol's (seen at this year's Kassel dOCUMENTA (13) little human figures in the foyer.
