Shell-Encasing / Enclosure-Encasing / Wrapping-Encasing Explanation: "Gehäuse" is sometimes translated in philosophical terms as "shell"; the word has both a sheltering and encaging/imprisoning sense. It will be a question of playing with options and perhaps querying with the artists or exhibitors as to which properties are intended by them, or considering again the exhibited pieces. Very tricky question, but good luck. |

Shells-Shelters Explanation: Hi again, just noticed your query - I think Shells - Shelters sounds good (reproduces the "Haus" stem of the German) and is close to the German meaning. Hope that helps. |
