For his contribution to Skulptur. Projekte in Münster 1997 Allen Ruppersberg was inspired by Voltaire’s satire Candide.Similar to Voltaire’s protagonist who sets off from his Westphalian home in search of the best of all possible worlds, Ruppersberg sent visitors to his project on a journey. The tour began in a fictional tourist office in the Westfälisches Landesmuseum für Kunst und Kulturgeschichte and visited eleven different locations in the centre of Münster. Circular signs similar to shop signs announced the title of Ruppersberg’s work, marking each stop on the tour itinerary.
