Karin Sander’s presentation as a part of “The Window” collection facilities on her site-specific work 37°32’13.199″N 126°59’17.352″E, introduced within the street-facing window. Attribute of Sander’s conceptual follow, this work has a tautology at its core; the title of the work additionally names the situation the place it’s put in and constitutes its solely visible manifestation, black vinyl character on the wall spelling out the coordinates of the positioning. The work is radically site-specific, because it can’t exist outdoors this one location with out altering look.
