This carefully designed publication does not only serve as a guidebook for the group show FULL HOUSE. With its layout and design, it can also be seen and used as a game or game set. It is not solely a reflection of the exhibition’s title or of a particular hand of cards or constellation of dots on the dice in games of chance. Instead, historical facts and anecdotes about Molsdorf Palace and its former owner, Count Gustav Adolph von Gotter (1692 Gotha – 1762 Berlin), and information about the participating artists and they works are presented to the reader on three textual layers – for him to “freely combine” at will. Thus, it is also made clear that history is primarily a construct that leads to as many different stories as there are people involved in its writing. In the one-of-a-kind group show FULL HOUSE at Molsdorf Palace, 13 fantastical works of contemporary art and design hark bac Hannes Schüpbach, Maja Naef
