A recurrent contamination of the masculine world and the feminine, of fashion and art or advertising is seen in the works of Sylvie Fleury. In the early nineties she showed in her first exhibition with John M Armleder and Olivier Mosset a pile of empty Coco Chanel boxes intuitively collected by her for years, because of its attractiveness as she once said. Her installations with shopping bags triggered people to call her the ‘Bag Lady’ at a certain point. Nowadays her work is described as political, but definitively her oeuvre does not lack a post-conceptual attitude at all. With the multiple ‘Slim-Fast’ she shows that the idea is very close to how the artist originally was attracted by the Coco Chanel mascara and perfume boxes, only now more rationally made with a tongue-in-cheek to Pop-art.

* John M Armleder made this logo composed of two letters inside a tumbled zero for AP Magazine published by Galerie van Gelder in Amsterdam. Each copy was supposed to have a glued sticker with this logo on the cover. The first and only issue has contributions of John Tremblay, Claude Closky, Sylvie Fleury and Marijke van Warmerdam. A small edition was produced as an enamel door plate. Ever since a proof of this plate is mounted next to the entrance of Galerie van Gelder. For the Basel Art Fair 1992 he initiated a co-operation called ‘AP / Associated Publishers Ecart Editions’ with the following galleries:

‘La Ligne d’Arrivée’ was a restaurant opposite Galerie Gilbert Brownstone & Cie in Paris. The voucher – here unused – could be validated by dining at the restaurant. Only ca 30 have been signed by the artist and very few have been issued, because soon the restaurant closed its doors.

Looking into a mirror is looking in a reversed perspective. Being in a space while looking ahead in a mirror. It is a characteristic technique of Marijke van Warmerdam of watching a space while staying in that very space.
