mail d.d. 15 March 2017 from David Horvitz:

Hi Everyone,

Here is info for March’s studio rent edition.

It is tracing paper.

I have traced with pen 35 scratches on a board that my cat has scratched.

It is March, and this month I turn 35.

So this is using cat scratches to count the years!

This is actually part of the process of making another work, which should be done in some months… Where I needed to get a trace of a cat scratch to make a gold foil stamp of it…

WJM KOK, Maxi-Color, 1992 [color book]

WJM KOK, Maxi-Color, 1992
33,9 x 25 cm
offset, stapled color book
signed, numbered, dated
edition 200
condition: scuffed front couver
published by the artist

 

This edition was never completed; circa 50 copies were made. Here a used copy with sticker residues is shown.

The prints and paintings (1991-present) with the name Maxi-Color are part of a large group of works in which an industrial product is appropriated by the artist. On the one hand, this group of works can be divided into ‘appropriation art’ and, on the other hand, into a product that is ‘already made’ as Marcel Duchamps put it. An ‘objet trouvé’ as the colour book featured above.

MARTIN CREED, Art is shit., 2017
ca 59 x 38 cm (41 x 38)
text on tote bag
published by Museum Voorlinden, Wassenaar, Netherlands
For purchase see: Martin Creed, shop Museum Voorlinden
inv.Tassen 619

Screen printed text on fabric:
“Art is shit.
Art galleries are toilets.
Curators are toilet attenders.
Artists are bullshitters.”

This is a tote bag with a syllogistic quote from the artist: ‘Art is shit. Art galleries are toilets. Curators are toilet attendants. Artists are bullshitters.’ Apparently in the eyes of Martin Creed galleries show shit and curators are therefore toilet attendants, while artists produce shit. He says: ‘The more I work, the more I think I don’t know what I am doing. I have absolutely no idea what I am doing. It is like sweat or shit. It comes out as I go along …’.
