Antonio de la Rosa

It might seem that the sentence “I don’t love you” is presently enjoying a boom. More and more advertisements and websites are appearing, used by women from former eastern block states in their search for husbands in western Europe. This is not a matter of feelings, but of economics, and Antonio de la Rosa interprets marriage as an instrument of migration. In Berlin he is offering women from states of the former Soviet Union an opportunity for personal interviews and giving his advice. These interviews are not only public (15th, 22nd and 29th March 2003, 4 – 7 p.m., Studio 4), the artist also intends to propose marriage to one of the women – and so, as a side effect, grant her Spanish citizenship.
