The wall design "THE MIDDLE OF THE MIDDLE OF THE MIDDLE OF / THE MIDDLE OF THE MIDDLE OF" was created by Lawrence Weiner for documenta 13 in 2012 at the Hugenottenhaus in Friedrichsstraße 25.
The question of the center

For the American conceptual artist Lawrence Weiner, language was the most important medium: his works consist of words in colored stencil writing, which are intended to trigger one's own thoughts when read. The text fragments arranged in a circle on the house wall can be understood both spatially and temporally: "DIE MITTE VON / THE MIDDLE OF". A second inscription with the same wording was inscribed on a glass wall in the Museum Fridericianum during documenta 13.
