The exhibition deals with questions of signature, heritage and authenticity in a humorous way. Besides Pipe, other works by Turk are on show:

- Fountain, a tribute to My Mind is Burning by Italian artist Alighiero Boetti

Monaco Project for the Arts was founded in 2008 by Rita Rovelli Caltagirone with the help of Monaco's Mayor Georges Marsan, and Director of Pavillon Bosio Isabelle Lombardot. It provides research grants for students, prizes for school children, and internships with artists. Prince Albert II is its patron.
