ROMAN OPALKA, 5607249, 2012
Last number Roman Opalka (August 27, 1931 – August 6, 2011) wrote down on his last canvas. Not really a multiple, although an idea about repetition by counting up figures for a whole life time until time ends.
Opałka began painting numbers from one to infinity. Starting in the top left-hand corner of the canvas and finishing in the bottom right-hand corner, the tiny numbers were painted in horizontal rows. Each new canvas, which the artist called a ‘detail’, took up counting where the last left off. Each ‘detail’ is the same size 196 x 135 cm, the dimension of his studio door in Warsaw.

Fred Tomaselli makes psychodelic works through decorative bright colours. The negative photographic base on which a colorful pattern is laid creates a radiating oval black and white halo. The result is eye catching and hypnotic.

Bridget Riley is celebrated for her optically vibrant paintings. By manipulating relationships between black and white, colours and shapes, she creates illusions of movement and light. For the Olympic Games 2011 in London she made ‘Rose, Rose’. Riley has arranged colours in horizontal stripes, indicating the direction of athletic tracks or swimming lanes, it is said, but where originates the title of this print?

In Louise Lawler’s photographs the context is her field of interest in which works of art are displayed, viewed, sold, and also stored in museums, private collections and auction houses. She is questioning the art practice in general, but at the same time she knows she is unavoidably part of this when she exhibits herself works of her own art. That demands self-criticism or at least a display consciousness. Most probably this brought her to have her huge photo prints matching exhibition walls, i.e. vinyl murals that are stretched and adjusted to fit the gallery walls. No wonder she called these exhibitions “Adjusted to fit”.

When opening this book a knitted hand made malleable object lies hidden inside the pages. In 2011 the introduction of this object book on the website of Buchhandlung Walther König was accompanied with the above beating heart. Very soon the animation was removed from the site.
The book is based on a film by John Bock. It is the story about an insane man who tries to find existential guidance through the humilation of another man – obviously having a financial debt – by pulling a tooth. By means of crazy diagrams attached to the human body and using the little girl Lütte as medium he believes to be able to find the right corrections and justifications. Drawing by artist on inner part of cover.
