On side A “John & Yoko” is a recording made on 22 and 27 April 1969 and is of John Lennon and Yoko Ono calling out each other’s names, through a range of volume, tempos, and emotions, this all over the sound of their heartbeats. Comparable to the outcome of performances made by Ulay and Abramovic who instead put the emphasis in their works on physical endurance. KvG

Hana Miletić started a collection of photographs that she has made over the years of graffiti on the city walls in Zagreb. These writings on the wall helped her to understand what is at stake on a (micro)political level in her hometown. By isolating the words from their environment and by expanding them onto the pages of a book Miletić is able to amplify their more basic qualities.
Hana Miletić refers to weaving as a kind of ‘care work’; more than just the production of cloth, it doubles as a mode of conscious reparation through which she can process the damage and disrepair she notices in the world into precious artefacts. No longer merely serviceable or disposable like their referents, they are ends in themselves. Yet they also seem to perform an ironic take on the economy of weaving, exchanging modest materials – albeit woven ones like tarpaulins and gaffer tape – for rich ones and trading functionality for aesthetic worth.

Usually so-called artist’s books with texts by others than the artist involved are expelled from The Archive is Limited.
