Plage la Grande Salinette is a popular seaside resort with a view on the bay of Saint-Briac-sur-Mer in France. The owners of publishing house More Publishers invited David Horvitz to make a postcard for a next edition. He came up with the idea to glue beach sand of that resort on a card. Hence the above postcard “Untitled (la Grande Salinette)” that was produced on the spot.
The back of the card mentions ‘From a distance…” that refers to a series of postcards that the publishers Tim Ryckaert and Amélie Laplanche have started to issue in 2023. Every time when they stay in Saint-Briac-sur-Mer (France) they may launch a new edition produced on the spot. Hence the name of this series that alludes with the fact that a plan is proposed by an artist and carried out from a distance…, while the publishing house is located in Belgium.

The works of David Horvitz relate often to notions of nature such as the ocean, the sea, beach, rain or sky. Not seldom his text works call to action suggesting that mankind is loosing contact with nature. A touch of nostalgia is never far away.

Hi,
After a year of itinerant studios in free residences, I’ve re-started my studio rent edition series. If you don’t know this, they are a series of monthly editions that subsidizes my monthly studio rent. They are all an edition of 10 and sold for 1/10th of my studio rent. I’ve done this for years. Most of previous ones are sold out (some are available at my gallery in Berlin). Each month I send out an email describing the new piece, and you can purchase one, and it is then mailed to ou. Maybe this series could also be seen a a monthly mail art project as well. I’ve stopped posting info online, just sending their descriptions through emails like this, to keep things more ephemeral.

DAVID HORVITZ, Mood disorder, 2015
35 x 25 cm
SC, 72 pp., stapled
edition 2000
condition: very good
published by Chert, Berlin/Motto Books, Berlin-Lausanne/New Documents, Los Angeles-Vancouver
David Horvitz’s self-portrait with his head in his hands, ocean waves crashing in the background, was initially uploaded by him to the Wikimedia Commons, and placed on various Wikipedia pages. Mood Disorder documents the appropriation of David Horvitz’s photograph across the internet. The image began to circulate more intensely, appearing on over a hundred websites as a “stock” photo to illustrate articles on a wide range of mental health and wellness issues.
This artist’s book is still available at various selling venues.

Hi Everyone,
Here is info for March’s studio rent edition.
It is tracing paper.
I have traced with pen 35 scratches on a board that my cat has scratched.
It is March, and this month I turn 35.
So this is using cat scratches to count the years!
This is actually part of the process of making another work, which should be done in some months… Where I needed to get a trace of a cat scratch to make a gold foil stamp of it…
