In 2020, Wjm Kok made a series of approximately 60 large-scale advertising columns part of his work. These columns, known as ‘Peperbussen’ and normally used for poster campaigns are distributed throughout the city of Amsterdam. They periodically remain vacant between advertising cycles. During these intervals, Kok transforms them into monochrome works, i.e. blue in this instance to become part of his oeuvre.
What began as an independent artistic initiative is now recognized as part of Amsterdam’s ‘art in public space’ and has been incorporated into the city’s archives of Stadscuratorium.
‘Amsterdam has a long tradition of art in public space. A large number of well-known and lesser-known artworks tell the story of the city and its inhabitants. Art in public space manifests itself in many different ways, in various forms, and with different functions. For instance, the collection of the Amsterdam Metropolitan Area is rich in a broad spectrum of artworks: from monuments, sculptures, social projects, and interventions in environmental design, to graffiti, murals, and wall reliefs.’

poster, thin paper
edition unknown
inv.MapD 000-pr
As a graphic designer, Karim Hemshed created newspapers, posters, and flyers—everything in the fight against the ‘Amsterdamse stadsvernieling’ and in support of squatter movements. For instance, he drew a circle with an arrow through it using a thick felt-tip pen, which subsequently became a squatter symbol starting in 1979.

Quite often John M Armleder is mesmerised – as he calls it – by how banal objects can change character by changing their position (context). Here, in 1989 JMA bumped up to a “Chrome silver car alloy wheel center hub cap” with no logo of car company Mercedes Benz, he told me. He made it into a disc one may place on a table as an object.

In 1976, Dominik Steiger published quarterly magazine NERVENKRITIK under the name Buchdienst Fesch. Each issue (ca 20 pages) featured illustrations and text by fellow artists. The cover of the 250-copy print run displayed an enlarged so-called “Bone drawing” (Knöchelchen-Zeichnung] of Dominik Steiger. It functioned as a logo that is also depicted here on the cassette label of Low Nose.
