The brilliant screen print on this bag is a bright reproduction of an embroidery work. Originally Louise Bourgeois embroidered on a handkerchief (2007) the text ‘I have been to hell and back. And let me tell you it was wonderful.’ It expresses her opinion that life is a journey with up and downs, and in the end it was worth it. She put this text on her husband’s handkerchief.

LAWRENCE WEINER – certificate of Water finds its own level, 2011

In December 2009, the New York City Council voted to require business owners to replace garage-style security gates with ones that allow views into the stores behind them by July 2026. Art Production Fund united 18 artists to make murals on security gate doors of shop in the Bowery. These were on view for two months, after which they were painted over, embodying the upcoming legislated disappearance of the gates across the city of New York.

This edition was published in 5 sizes: 8 x 10 inch, 11 x 124 inch, 16 x 20 inch, 24 x 30 inch and 30 x 40 inch.

Swiss artist François Dey (1981) is attracted by the continuous flux of life in which nothing is basically fixed. Therefore improvisation and unexpected contexts make as much sense as well prepared plans and thought over constructions, whether in the physical reality or our mind. Also language is used breaking the laws of idiom and spelling which makes his written texts look peculiar and even shabby. For him it is a way to get out of the prison of too much treaded roads we already know of.
