Walter Tafelmaier
Fingerfest
October 27 - November 03, 1970
"Gloves hang in Plexiglas boxes, as picture objects on the walls. Further, films of various glove situations are shown. The whole floor of the Kunstverein foyer is covered with old gloves. In addition, Walter Tafelmaier has constructed a Fingerfest-machine. Finger games performed by the audience are transmitted by an electronic camera to two television sets. Large sewn gloves (2.30 meters), filled with foam flakes, are tied to the columns of the Hofarkaden. Slide projectors throw fingers and gloves onto the walls (...)."
