Margin Scheme
‘Fragment of Remembrance’ refers to memories of his youth and is partly made of a rolled up iron sheep fence used in the countryside of Iceland to keep sheep together close to the farm, when they are not taken to the mountains for grazing. Born in 1943 in Baer Dölum, Iceland, Hreinn Fridfinnsson employs media that are remarkably varied in scale and substance, from photography, drawings and tracings to presentations and installations of sound, texts and ready-mades. As in this edition Fridfinnnsson often presents found objects with which he interferes as little as possible, creating new works that investigate ideas of the self and of time. He has said that: ‘Notions of time are always compelling. The feeling and the interest in the essence of time is serious, but my dealing with time is not knowledge-based; it is more exploratory and feeling-based.’

More than three decades ago in 1990 trams in Amsterdam were covered with this very early AIDS silkscreen poster of General Idea. The ‘Amsterdam Tram Project’ became quite controversial, i.e. conductors refused to drive their trams covered with the colourful and marked stickers afraid of giving their support to or at least being compromised and associated with homosexuality. Later on the artists group had other versions produced in larger editions.
In the mid-1980’s, the Canadian art group General Idea – AA Bronson, Felix Partz, and Jorge Zontal – created a symbol using the acronym AIDS, using the letters in a manner that resembled Robert Indiana’s LOVE logo. This witty allusion became part of Imagevirus, a project of paintings, sculptures, videos, posters, wallpapers and exhibitions that investigated the term AIDS as both word and image, using the mechanism of viral transmission. Imagevirus spread like a visual virus, producing an image epidemic in urban spaces from Manhattan to Sydney. It was displayed as, among other things, a Spectacolor sign in Times Square, a sculpture on a street in Hamburg, and a poster in the New York subway system. General Idea felt compelled to make Imagevirus at a time when AIDS was emerging as a global epidemic affecting gay men disproportionately.
Museum Fodor Amsterdam issued the posters in a signed and numbered edition. Beautiful and witty allusion of Robert Indiana’s famous LOVE icon.

p.o.r.
In 1990 Olivier Mosset was invited to make a proposal for Galerie van Gelder Editions. For this he made use of a George Maciunas edition from the sixties: Flux Dots by Olivier Mosset Total Art Nice, a little plastic box filled with home discs referring to the circle paintings of Mosset, as Maciunas once explained to Olivier Mosset. Mosset liked the idea of shuffling up the red confetti every time before a colour photo would be taken. Hence a series of unique works was eventually realised based on Maciunas’ box.
Olivier Mosset in discussion with Kees van Gelder about how to produce his photo edition “Untitled 1990”, in Galerie van Gelder, Amsterdam 1990.
Added information:
On 7th of June in 2023 a particular lot was auctioned at Auction house Metayer Merdoz in Paris. In some way four prints out of this series were put together into a square and offered, apparently as a work in itself.
