50 Ways to Leave your Lover (2009) Temporary site-specific artwork for Open Space, Cologne, 2009 50 Ways To Leave Your Lover consists of fifty proposed interventions into the designed exhibition architecture particular to Open Space. By dismantling, manipulating and reconfiguring the fabric of the existing Messe architecture, Campbell proposes a series of works that directly disrupts and undermines the expected form of the exhibition booth. Through a process of discussion with Workplace Gallery and Open Space, proposal No. 48 was selected and realised. The remaining 49 proposals have been documented and presented as a publication and single channel video work. No 46 was shown as part of ‘Enter Slowly’ The Lab, San Francisco, USA, 2011.
