Ueber das Sammeln von Honig – The Honey Gatherers
Christel Dillbohner’s site-specific installation at SPACE, Los Angeles, February/March 1993
“Insights/Einblicke”
catalog essay by Michael Lawrence, Los Angeles, 1994
“…..The Honey Gatherers utilized approximately 3,000 square feet to investigate the various aspects of the ancient art of honey gathering.
Using a wide range of materials, the installation was a metaphor for the human condition of searching happiness. The search specifically focused on gathering and filtering experiences in order to better understand those experiences.
The installation also exemplifies the artist creating art, of finding momentary meaning in the continual flow of events.”

New Museum Of Contemporary Art, New York, 1995
The Chronicle was displayed in the lobby and visitors to the museum turned its pages at a rate determined by the number of AIDS deaths that year with each turn of the page representing a person that had died. This interactive display was positioned to occupy the Museum’s street-level display window, thereby bringing its message to the thousands of people who passed by the window on a daily basis.
