In Post CS—the former TPG Post building that temporarily housed, among others, the Stedelijk Museum and Club 11—W139 operated a temporary exhibition space in the basement. At the time, the building was difficult to access by public transport.

Waiting for Godot
W139 attracted a record number of visitors to this exhibition. Some of them were really put on the wrong track after waiting up to half an hour for the metro. Reactions from spectators varied from recognition, surprise, frustration, admiration, anger,
Wachtruimte
In the space next to the platform is a waiting area with two monitors on either side of the wall, showing an endless montage of recordings in a moving metro. The moment the metro enters the station, the image jumps to the next clip.
Finissage
On the last day of the exhibition Graffiti artists were invited to cover the walls of the installation with Tags and Pieces.
In another room, Bingo was played with found objects and clothing from the NS (Dutch Railways).
