| Project: Grafitti with Hektor For: Jürg Lehni / Kunstmuseum Solothurn Date: August 2004 Design: Jürg and Urs Lehni In July 2004 my brother Jürg asked me for a contribution to an exhibition called "Wenn Roboter zeichnen" (When Robots Draw) where he wanted to perform one of his infamous Hektor happenings. As I was about to finish the second issue of Our Magazine (Landscape/Landschaft) it seemed logical to spray a landscape image and reuse it for Our Magazine. We were looking for a simple and abstract landscape that works good in black and white when we came across the Coop Naturaplan logo. Shortly after deciding to paint this logo we realized that our choice had a second meaning that we quite liked: The exhibition was financed by Migros, Switzerlands biggest departement store and archrival of Coop. So when the Migros Magazine did an article on the exhibition and the Hektor performance, they cleverly avoided showing the piece as a whole, not wanting to place their rivals logo in their own magazine.
