It’s All a Façade (Alles Fassade)/Never Mind Shelf (Regal Egal), three-part exhibition/performance: exterior of an art gallery building, washroom with mirror, Nivea Creme, wooden planks, 200 x 50 cm, mounted on a wall with shelf brackets (installation: Galerie Mezzanin, Vienna, 2005)

It was Haring lying up there, maybe sleeping, maybe not, seemingly calm and quiet in contrast with the surroundings. With the title Never Mind Shelf (Regal Egal in German), the piece was a ‘performance’ or ‘action’ as well as the retreat from, refusal and parody of performance. The shelf which remained in the gallery after the ‘inaction’ was finished survives as an empty relict of the performance and the pastiche of a relict (as the title suggests).
