Textiles were an instrument for the viewer and prompted a specific action, such as lying on or leaning against them. According to Walthers, the textile objects he sewed became works of art when a person or a group of people did something with them, he stated. In this case a hand may be resting on the surface of the neatly sewn canvas.
Here Franz Erhard Walther’s hand is put on a copy of the edition.

Added information:
This edition is made from the regular poster announcing the exhibition of Otobong Nkanga at Portikus. With the applied laser technique the lower part of the poster is cut off completely.
‘In 1875 a prospector scouting the land described Green Hill, an area so rich in ore minerals that it radiated the bright green colour of oxidised copper. The Green Hill would become legendary as having the highest concentration and diversity of minerals in Namibia. Yet what Nkanga came upon was a cavernous hole. The extraction of the minerals malachite and azurite had mined the hill into oblivion. The copper had been processed, transported and erected elsewhere with no tangible connection to its origins in Tsumeb. The closed mine, abandoned miners’ houses and disused railway buildings that Nkanga encountered languish – ruins and debris of places that once bustled and bristled with desire.’
From the website of Portikus.

‘Born in 1971 in Chiang Mai, Navin Rawanchaikul is a Thai artist whose ancestral roots are from the Hindu-Punjabi communities of present day Pakistan. Questioning modern systems of artistic creation and presentation, Rawanchaikul has developed a unique and vast body of work that relies heavily on team spirit and collaboration, and is often produced under the banner of Navin Production, a studio he founded in 1994.’

In 1987 Kristjan Gudmundsson started to make use of graphite on paper without using graphite as a traditional technique to draw with. In stead he merely combined graphite and paper as an assemblage, i.e. a solid block of graphite together with a paper roll. In ‘Horizontal-Diagonal-Vertical’, its use has been applied as a collage showing three formal compositions. KvG
MARIJKE VAN WARMERDAM, pin, 2025
17 x 15 x 5 cm
16 mm celluloid, film ‘Skytypers’, wood, paint, metal
series of ca 30 unique pins, hand-made by the artist
On behalf of Eye on Art – Artists Talk at Eye in Amsterdam on 11 March 2025, 30 speakers were invited to throw a light on each of the presented film loops. In gratitude for the personal lectures – one and a half minute each – of technicians, experts and friends, Marijke presented them with a pin. The used 16 mm celluloid clipping is taken from her film “Skytypers”. A tiny orange ball at the end of the gold spray painted pin refers to a series of film loops on oranges she is working on now.
