‘Marijke van Warmerdam could be the very founder of Reaction Art, i.e. context triggers her imagination. The idea of making a school bell in the form of a carillon with two melodies struck Van Warmerdam as a good alternative to the piercing sound of the bell that normally rings out across the schoolyard. She invited composer Jeff Hamburg to make one melody for the start of lessons and another for when school ends. From there in the context of her first commercial gallery show in Amsterdam in 1995 she decided to turn the gallery’s doorbell into a doorbell bell creating a very deep sound in the building when visitors rang it.’ september 2012 KvG

‘We use a dustbin every day and half our lives end up in it.’ Based on this idea, the artist felt it was time to place dustbins on a pedestal by providing them with a layer of gold leaf.

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:
Gallery Daniel Newburg, New York
Galerie Daniel Buchholz, Cologne
Gallery John Gibson, New York
Galerie van Gelder, Amsterdam
Ecart, Geneva

‘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.
