Apart from loose cards sold in sets of 5-6 cards, the work Ample Food for Stupid Thought consists of a small wooden box containing 96 postcards, each with a question. Also, Filliou published it as a booklet. On the flap, Jackson Mac Low stated that he had seen Filliou using these questions as a performance on February 8, 1965, at Café Go Go in Greenwich Village. These were addressed to someone in the audience, and if one spectator did not answer, the question was asked to someone else until an answer was given.

These cards were once sold for 5 dollarcents each.

HREINN FRIDFINNSSON, Journey pictures, 1998 [series of air flight luggage labels]

HREINN FRIDFINNSSON, Journey pictures, nrs 13-14, 1998
each 14 x 9 cm
pair of luggage labels, framed
signed, dated
inv.HF 000-pr

In 1998 Hreinn Fridfinnsson showed works in the back space of Galerie van Gelder, called AP (Associated Publishers). This second solo exhibition at GvG was called “Collection” referring to the various new works he brought in. For the occasion he changed the gallery’s name into Galerie van Gelder/Another Place, the latter being also the title of a new photo work of an Icelandic landscape by night.
“Journey pictures” were installed in AP by the artist. They come in sets of two (his own luggage labels) and represent, as a pair, a return flight. At the time, Hreinn Fridfinnsson told me that he found it amusing and typical that, as a passenger, you were reduced to a row of stripes.

One of Richard Hambleton lesser-known series of “Shadow men” is the so-called “Blood works” and “Mass Murder series”, where he used his own blood as a medium to push the impact of an image to its limits. A fallen figure on the street (or stair case) was outlined as if that was drawn by the police after a shot incident. A splash of blood as part of such a street painting gave it an eery atmosphere in the city of New York.
Galerie Barbara Farber was the only gallery in Amsterdam in the 80’s that showed American street artists like Richard Hambleton.

In 1986, Haring had his first solo museum exhibition at the Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam. During this period, he also actively manifested himself outside the museum in the city. He took to the streets with young graffiti artists and painted the wall of the then-museum depot on the grounds of the Central Market Halls on Jan van Galenstraat, Amsterdam.

KARIM HASHEM, Wibautotisme, n.d. [poster, ca 1980]

KARIM HASHEM, Wibautotisme, n.d. [ca 1980]
39,1 x 61,3 cm

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.
