Added information
Gerhard Richter has signed this postcard more than once over the past decades. Around 2000, he wrote that the reproduction on the card has been printed upside down. The card reads: ‘Liebe Frau Rachel, umseitiges Bild ist falsch um gedruckt, deshalb habe Ich es oben signiert. Mit besten Wünschen u. Grüßen, Gerhard Richter.’

Apart from loose cards sold in sets of 5-6 cards, the work Ample Food for Stupid Thought consists of a small wooden box containing 96 postcards, each with a question. Also, Filliou published it as a booklet. On the flap, Jackson Mac Low stated that he had seen Filliou using these questions as a performance on February 8, 1965, at Café Go Go in Greenwich Village. These were addressed to someone in the audience, and if one spectator did not answer, the question was asked to someone else until an answer was given.

HREINN FRIDFINNSSON, Journey pictures, nrs 13-14, 1998

In 1998 Hreinn Fridfinnsson showed works in the back space of Galerie van Gelder, called AP (Associated Publishers). This second solo exhibition at GvG was called “Collection” referring to the various new works he brought in. For the occasion he changed the gallery’s name into Galerie van Gelder/Another Place, the latter being also the title of a new photo work of an Icelandic landscape by night.
“Journey pictures” were installed in AP by the artist. They come in sets of two (his own luggage labels) and represent, as a pair, a return flight. At the time, Hreinn Fridfinnsson told me that he found it amusing and typical that, as a passenger, you were reduced to a row of stripes.

In 2020, Wjm Kok made a series of approximately 60 large-scale advertising columns part of his work. These columns, known as ‘Peperbussen’ and normally used for poster campaigns are distributed throughout the city of Amsterdam. They periodically remain vacant between advertising cycles. During these intervals, Kok transforms them into monochrome works, i.e. blue in this instance to become part of his oeuvre.
What began as an independent artistic initiative is now recognized as part of Amsterdam’s ‘art in public space’ and has been incorporated into the city’s archives of Stadscuratorium.
‘Amsterdam has a long tradition of art in public space. A large number of well-known and lesser-known artworks tell the story of the city and its inhabitants. Art in public space manifests itself in many different ways, in various forms, and with different functions. For instance, the collection of the Amsterdam Metropolitan Area is rich in a broad spectrum of artworks: from monuments, sculptures, social projects, and interventions in environmental design, to graffiti, murals, and wall reliefs.’

Quite often John M Armleder is mesmerised – as he calls it – by how banal objects can change character by changing their position (context). Here, in 1989 JMA bumped up to a “Chrome silver car alloy wheel center hub cap” with no logo of car company Mercedes Benz, he told me. He made it into a disc one may place on a table as an object.
