Eventually the inquiry found the fire had been caused by one of the patients lighting a flame. But the fact that the ward's night nurse and the charge nursed had taken an extended break had allowed the blaze to spread. (5 July 1972)

Saturday 19th of May 2007 (x) — Performance artist Danny Devos performs 'Wie Man dem Zerrissenen Hasen die Aktionskunst Erklärt'. I took a wooden crate with 15kgs of dirt from my hole on the airplane and buried it close to the culture center. The performance started with digging up the crate to everybody’s amazement. I carried the crate inside and hacked it to pieces with a spade. I took a toy hare and removed the filling with my mouth. Then I filled the empty hare with dirt, also using my mouth to do that. Then I went to the Museum of Contemporary Art where I spread the dirt in several spaces. The empty hare was left behind at night in a children’s playground.
