In the early 1990s, Martin Kippenberger developed the idea of a global underground network called 'METRO-Net'. Although it is one of the artist's most fascinating projects, his premature death in 1997 meant that it could only be partially realized by building 3 non-working subway entrances: in 1993 in Hrousa on the Greek island of Syros, in 1995 in Dawson City, Yukon, in Canada, and in 1997 in the new Leipzig exhibition center. This created a means of travelling in the boundless space of the imagination. Kippenberger's 'METRO-Net' was intended to counter life's predictable, rationally oriented parameters with a romantic sense of the world.
