Although Jay Tan makes installation-based exhibitions, often the works involved are dealt with in an individual way, including furniture, video, texts, printed matter, photos, food, clothing, presents from friends. She has recently begun to include performance. Occupied by the desire to understand relations between everyday materials and contextual knowledge, she questions both the eye and the mind by putting e.g. a drinking glass with cute small colourful candles all alone on a long clean kitchen sink.

This edition shows the hand from Bas Jan Ader’s work I’m Too Sad to Tell You, with the background painted by hand by Jonathan Monk. The latter is known for emphasizing the simplicity inherently present in a working plan like painting a background of a hand by his hand. Any subject is allowed as long as the obvious can be banally pushed further: “… Once something has been done, it can be done again in a different colour.” By means of doubling and repeating the result has most of the time the effect of a Fluxus-like humor.

Together with artists like Yann Sérandour, Claude Closky, Nicolas Chardon, Martin Creed a.o. Jonathan Monk belongs to a generation that is – apparently being impressed by historical mile stones – making use of references to works of famous colleagues in the past.

MARLENE DUMAS, For Whom the Bell Tolls, 2008. In this painting – here in print – Marlene Dumas shows interest in emotional expressions that are often represented in cinema, and rarely in contemporary painting. For this she applied a variety of watery drip painting techniques and used a film still (from ‘For Whom the Bell Tolls’, 1943) of Ingrid Bergman experiencing sorrow and mourning. Two seemingly emblematic black bird images in the eyes add an extra eery and dramatic touch to it all.

‘In 2007 my mother died at noon at the age of 86.
For Whom the Bell Tolls was about loss and departure, but also about transformation and freedom. A spirit set free, my grief and her relief. So I made the [film] stars [Ingrid Bergman. a.o.] and the gods weep for her.
Marlene Dumas

Additional information
Marlene Dumas’s painting For Whom te Bell Tolls was used for the reproduction of her Tate Modern scarf and the painting from 2008 itself is based on a film still. Appropriation is of all times, also e.g. Victor Young’s vinyl “For whom the bell tolls” (2019) features the same image.

YOKO ONO, Mended Cups and Unbroken Cup, 2015

YOKO ONO, Mended Cups and Unbroken Cup, 2015

print on ceramics, 14 parts in display box, leaflet, tag, folded poster

inv.YOno 000-pr

“Mended Cups and Unbroken Cup” consists of six cups that bear gold, ‘shattered’ and ‘mended’ crack lines – accompanied by six individual saucers that state, in Yoko Ono’s handwriting, six catastrophic events that have affected the world; some have directly affected her life, and others only indirectly, yet bringing death to millions of people. Each saucer states the date and place of the tragic event. Why and how the tragic events have been “mended” is unclear….

The seventh cup in the collection, ‘Unbroken Cup’, is untouched with no cracked or mended lines, reflecting peace and hope with Ono’s handwritten words on the saucer, Yoko Ono: “This cup will never be broken as it will be under your protection.”
