‘My studio rent edition series are a series of monthly editions that subsidizes my monthly studio rent. They are all an edition of 10 and sold for 1/10th of my studio rent. Most of previous ones are sold out (some are available at my gallery in Berlin). Each month I send out an email describing the new piece, and you can purchase one, and it is then mailed to you. Maybe this series could also be seen as a monthly mail art project as well.’
“…This is the email description for the August 2015 studio rent edition.
For an exhibition last year in Santa Barbara, California, I had 30 copies of my Public Access artist-book bound to library standards in an archival blue material with gold foil stamping by Trappist monks in Oregon. I drove up the California coast and left these books in local libraries.
The edition is five 4″x6″ photographs in a business envelope. The stamp and signature is on the back of the envelope…”

I laid my newborn daughter on the ground and surrounded her with Chinese and Japanese Wisteria seeds that I had harvested (against the garden’s policy) at the Brooklyn Botanical Garden. I then left the seeds for nature to do its things… The second photograph was made later this summer when the plants began to grow. Hopefully, in the future, these Wisteria plants will continue to grow, and Ela Melanie can visit in late spring when they are all in full bloom with their purple flowers and sweet fragrances, and know that she had been there once….’ from an email of David Horvitz to Kees van Gelder

CONSTANT DULLAART, Jennifer in Paradise, 2015
5,4 x 8,5 cm
USB stick card
edition unknown
Constant Dullaart (NL, 1979) works primarily with the Internet as an alternative space of presentation and (mis)representation. His often political approach is critical of the control that corporate systems have upon our perception of the world, and the way in which we passively adopt their languages. Dullaart’s practice includes websites, performances, installations and manipulated found images, presented both off line and on Internet.
John Knoll took a picture of his girl friend Jennifer in Bora Bora, Tahiti. This image ‘Jennifer in Paradise’ became the first colour image used to demonstrate the software he and his brother Thomas Knoll invented. Software that could manipulate digital images that they called Photoshop.
This USB stick was handed out as promotion material by Gallery Carroll/Fletcher in London.

On Saturday 5 September 2015 four fridge magnets – nrs 6/9, 7/9, 8/9 and 9/9 – were stolen during the opening of Jaap Kroneman. These are officially registered at the police station as taken away by someone of the inner (Arnhem) art circle.

Although Jay Tan makes installation-based exhibitions, often the works involved are dealt with in an individual way, including furniture, video, texts, printed matter, photos, food, clothing, presents from friends. She has recently begun to include performance. Occupied by the desire to understand relations between everyday materials and contextual knowledge, she questions both the eye and the mind by putting e.g. a drinking glass with cute small colourful candles all alone on a long clean kitchen sink.

Moritz Ebinger is known for connecting anything with everything, a bit like André Breton’s method of the écriture automatique. He has made many wall installations with curly crawling creatures that disappear in words and the other way around. He loves to get people involved in his art, activities and actions. The golden record ‘Mi fen ‘na Gowtu’ (Surinam for ‘Let’s go to the gold’ and notice that every round of the record player’s needle deteriorates the grooves!) shows his remarkable generosity towards not only the accumulation of his images already produced but also to people around him. KvG
This golden record contains conversations of a Swiss banker, the owner of a goldmine, a quick silver smugler, a herb-doctor, a Buddha monk and musicians/artists who were commissioned by Moritz Ebinger to participate in this project by integrating Gold in their contributions. Participating artists, among others: The Suprematist Guitar Ensemble, Dick el Demasiado, Bo Kisser, Boompje Trie, Sixton Creeps, FLG Banda Bachata, Klaske Oenema & Harm Wierda, Barney de Krijger and Bigeneric aka Marco Repetto (Marco is the artistic genius of ‘Ich möchte ein Eisbär sein im kalten Polar’ for Grauzone).
