Michael Asher is known for the so-called “Situational Aesthetics”, a movement in Conceptual art that is critical on what defines art and on the production of commodities. Marcel Duchamp pointed out to a paradigm in the arts by inserting an already made object within an art context. It exposed the legitimising function of an institution and its crucial role in defining of what should be considered as art.

DAAN VAN GOLDEN, untitled, 2017 [Souvenir]
DAAN VAN GOLDEN, untitled / Souvenir, 2017
3 parts
screen print on fabric: 10,5 x 12,9 cm / gold envelope: 11 x 15,6 cm
condition: splendid
condition outer envelope “Souvenir”: smudged, verso crumpled
private collection
inv.DvG 000-pr
This gold envelope with screen print on vinyl cloth depicts a characteristic dark red Daisy pattern that Daan van Golden often uses in his paintings and photographs. There is no sign of origin.
A white outer envelope entitled “Souvenir” contains the edition. At the back side a ‘D’ in print refers to the first name of the artist. The envelope’s colour in gold alludes with the surname of Daan van Golden. The grey line frame on the white envelope suggests that this item was perhaps a thank object presented to people for their compassion, condolences and sympathy after Daan van Golden deceased in 2017. Both envelopes lack any form of origin of publication.

Taube Books – Claude Closky
inv.CCl 000
This set of 5 postcards in transparent envelope shows and describes five kinds of books: Unseeable Books, Imperceptible Books, Invisible Books, Ethereal Books and Undetectable Books. None of these categories is present in the depicted book cases. Claude Closky imagined to have them filled with these five kinds of books as a kind of wish to show the “unmanifested” among the incessant flow of images that surrounds us.
