KRISTJÁN GUDMUNDSSON, Drawing in Round Frame, 2011

KRISTJAN GUDMUNDSSON, Drawing in Round Frame, 2011
plexiglass, solid graphite diameter 20 cm / 7.8 inches
edition 20

In Drawing in Round Frame, Kristján Gudmundsson uses solid graphite framed in an unusual manner. For him another way of making a drawing on a wall and here also in a circular frame. As a minimalist he questions the viewer’s senses, as well as the functions and possibilities of making a fundamental drawing.
Kristján Gudmundsson is a pioneer of Icelandic conceptual art, creating intellectually challenging and sometimes humorous artworks that address issues of science, art, and philosophy. A process artist who drills the mediums of drawing and painting down to their bare essentials.

The brilliant screen print on this bag is a bright reproduction of an embroidery work. Originally Louise Bourgeois embroidered on a handkerchief (2007) the text ‘I have been to hell and back. And let me tell you it was wonderful.’ It expresses her opinion that life is a journey with up and downs, and in the end it was worth it. She put this text on her husband’s handkerchief.

More details related to this item
In 2007 a handkerchief with the above text was published by Third Drawer Down in a numbered edition of 1000 for each colour; red, blue and pink. It was co-produced by Tate Modern, London.

p.o.r.

In 1968, at the height of the Civil Rights Movement, hundreds of black sanitation workers in Memphis went on strike. Famously, they carried signs reading, “I AM A MAN”. This statement “I AM A MAN” started out as an exasperated cry from an oppressed minority to be treated as human. The posters were carried by the workers on strike that drew Martin Luther King Jr. to Memphis, Tennessee the first week of April 1968. After King’s assassination later that week, the poster became a nationally recognized symbol of the struggle for equality and humanity. Twenty years later, Ligon replicated those signs in his painting Untitled, 1988. Working through the legacy of the civil rights movement he has found his artistic voice: this was one of Ligon’s earliest paintings to include appropriated text, an exploration that continues to this day.
