Produced on the occasion of the exhibition Ilya Kabakov: 16 Installaties / 16 Installations, 17 April–20 September, 1998 at MuHKA, Antwerp.

Ilya and Emilia Kabakov are American artists of Russian descent who work together on environments that merge elements of everyday life with elements of the conceptual. Although their work is deeply rooted in the social and cultural context of the Soviet Union in which the Kabakovs grew up, it nevertheless has universal significance.
