THE FINAL BID. Michael Pinsky

The processual installation **THE FINAL BID** by British artist Michael Pinsky transformed the museum at the Draiflessen Collection into an auction hall for chairs. This performative installation highlighted the high CO2 footprint of consumption. Unwanted chairs could be brought to the museum where they were hung from ropes in the exhibition hall and auctioned off for reuse. Each bid raised a chair higher until it was sold when it reached the ceiling. The performance of bidding constantly altered the sculptural structure. Pinsky realized this work for the first time in the Draiflessen Collection.

Our role was to conceptualise and implement the installation idea according to the artist's and the Draiflessen Collection's specifications. We developed a concept that reflected the artist's vision and met the requirements of the exhibition.
Bidding app

A particularly important area was the information architecture, design and programming of the bidding software. We created a user-friendly and aesthetically pleasing software that allowed visitors to participate in the auction and place their bids. In addition, we were responsible for the coordination and project management of the project partners to ensure the smooth running of the installation. We worked closely with the various partners to ensure that all aspects of the installation were seamlessly integrated.

We were available as a support team throughout the exhibition.
