Carsten Höller was flabbergasted by Helmut Kohl’s speech at the Deutschen Ingenieurtag on 26th of May 1987 given in Munich, Germany: “…Wer über die Zukunft unserer Gesellschaft mitentscheiden will, tut gut daran, dies nicht nur in der unbeständigen Aufgeregtheit des Zeitgeistes zu tun, sondern mit Nachdenklichkeit und Besonnenheit.”
“…Einer Gesellschaft, in der für viele die Freizeit immer mehr zum wichtigsten Wert wird, ist schwer verständlich zu machen, dass Zukunft wichtiger ist als Freizeit und dass Zukunft ohne Anstrengungen nicht gesichert werden kann.”
The idea that a future with efforts or even hard labour, i.e. ‘Anstrengungen’, is more important than leasure time made the artist decide to appropriate the slogan of German politician Helmut Kohl.

John M Armleder has worked for more than thirty years, starting off in the 1960s as a performance artist in the Fluxus inspired Geneva group Ecart (trans. French for ‘diversion’). Rather than work out of a studio, he travels, using galleries as studio spaces, working up shows in response to particular spaces, opportunities, possibilities. Here a flag of dots was made for a flag project in The Netherlands in 1988.

* In 1987 Sjarel Ex initiated Century ’87 together with Els Hoek and Nicolette Gast on behalf of Amsterdam Cultural Capital. It was an exhibition in the Amsterdam city centre featuring installations from 30 contemporary Dutch and foreign artists including Nam June Paik, Barry Flanagan, James Lee Byars, Boltanski, Sarkis, Daan van Golden, Rene Daniels and Marlene Dumas. The graphic design group Wild Plakken distributed the black and white streamers all over town in order to draw attention to the project. Very fine copies. Rare.
