ENG: Cildo Meireles and Antoni Muntadas divided the space of the Kunsthalle Marcel Duchamp vertically with a transparent partition. On one side they built a pile of sugar, on the other a pile of salt. The effect is like two mountains touching each other but made of two different materials—both of them, obviously, white. It’s a wonderful collaboration referencing friendship, conversation, landscape, humor, walking, climbing, and much else besides.
