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.

RICHARD HAMBLETON, invitation, 1984

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.

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.
