DescriptionOn June 13, 2005, Allan Kaprow and his colleagues built three ice-brick structures, one in front of the Kunsthalle Basel, another on the roof of the parking garage across the way, and the last in the arcades of the Kunstmuseum Basel. Then they left them alone to be discovered, and to evaporate. Fluids documents their rise and melt.
