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 2010, I was living in Brooklyn. I had just received my MFA from Bard College and I was trying to figure out a studio situation. I don’t necessarily need a studio to make my work, but I’ve always felt it is important to have a designated place outside my home to go to. A silent place where I could sit and think. A place to drink green tea and daydream, to develop thoughts and leave those thoughts there for the next day.

Since I didn’t have a full time job, I couldn’t see myself paying rent for a New York studio over a long period of time. And so I came up with an idea. I would make an edition-of-ten artwork each month. Maybe it was a photograph turned into a postcard, or some photocopies, or a text-work, or a LaserJet print, a watercolor of a flower I stole while walking down the street, or an envelope of sand from a California beach.’ David Horvitz, April 2016
