YOKO ONO, Imagine Peace, 2012
178 x 153 cm / 60 x 70 inches
beach towel
published by Art Production Fund: Works On Whatever, New York, USA
Imagine Piece is Yoko Ono’s worldwide initiative of anti-violence. This ongoing project uses internet projects, posters, thoughts, badges and a multitude of other medias to communicate its message of peace to the global community. Here she used a beach towel. The record ‘Imagine’ conveyed John Lennon’s wish for world peace and harmony in simple terms, both musically and lyrically. It fact it was inspired by ‘Cloud Piece’, an instructional poem dated Spring 1963 that appeared in Yoko Ono’s book Grapefruit: Imagine the clouds dripping.

Since the mid-1990s Sarah Morris has been creating complex, geometric, abstract paintings derived from cityscapes and architectural detail, signs and symbols. To celebrate the Paralympic Games 2012 in London Morris has created an abstract representation of one of the city’s most iconic landmarks: Big Ben. The grids and vivid colours create a sense of dynamism and also may evoke images of athletic tracks, swimming lanes, and field markings.

“When Mike Kelley moved to Los Angeles in the mid 1970’s to attend the California Institute of the Arts in Valencia, several of his first public performances and exhibitions occurred at LACE including “The Little Girls Room” where Kelley exhibited props, drawings, photographs, writings and an environmental audio work. Building his reputation as a provocateur, many of his pieces critique American culture and consumerism and are intended to make the viewer uncomfortable.”

MAI-THU PERRET, 2010
set of 4 glasses, edition 100
Swiss Institute, New York US$ 100.- January 2011
Mai-Thu Perret’s works, in a variety of media, from ceramics and textiles to paintings, sculptures or film, have all in common a hand-made aesthetic and use the formal vocabulary of modernism. References to Russian constructivism, 19th-century Arts & Crafts Movement, early-20th-century mysticism, Minimalism, and various other modern art movements can be found all over her work. By interweaving historical movement and her own fiction, Mai-Thu Perret questions utopias and how they could be a context for the production of objects and especially works of art. Within the production of both utilitarian and decorative objects, she’s interested in the status of artworks.

This is one of the 16 signed and numbered posters named “Barber shop” (2009) by Glenn Ligon.
Glenn Ligon is at the forefront of a generation of artists who came to prominence in the late 1980s with conceptually based work that investigates the social, linguistic, and political constructions of race, gender, and sexuality. Originally, the posters were clandestinely distributed on the streets. The posters found audiences by chance, provoking questions or reactions, with no didactic component to the street campaign.
LIMITED EDITION
CIRCLE JERK: 16 artists, 16 posters
As the name implies Circle Jerk is an ad hoc group of queer artists lending each other a hand. What began in 2007 with an original group of 13 artists has grown to 16 participants. Each artist has contributed a work from their current production. There is no specific curatorial premise; nonetheless the works connect with a shared attitude.Participating artists include Andy Fabo, Brendan Fernandes, Bruce LaBruce,
John Greyson, Daryl Vocat, Glenn Ligon, Stephen Andrews, Luis Jacob,
David Altmejd, Chris Curreri, John McLachlin, Micah Lexier, Peter Kingstone,
Will Munro, Ed Pien, and David Grenier.The posters were clandestinely distributed on the streets to coincide with
Art Toronto 2009 in late October. There is no didactic component to the street campaign. The posters found an audience by chance, provoking questions or reactions. A signed, limited edition was a fundraiser for Art Metropole. The set is packaged in a custom-made portfolio carrying case printed with artists’ names and the title “Circle Jerk 2009” displayed in pink text. The edition has been produced in a very limited quantity of 50 sets of all 16 posters, full colour offset printed, signed and numbered.
PAUL McCARTHY, Chocolate Nose Bar, 2000
chocolate, cardboard box
unlimited edition
published by Hauser & Wirth editions, Zurich, Switzerland
here excl. perspex show case
“…Paul McCarthy contributed a huge brown inflatable rubber sculpture, Chocolate Blockhead (Nose Bar Outlet), which looks like a seated Pinocchio with a mallet for a head. Inside the sculpture round chocolate bars shaped like Pinocchio’s nose could be bought from vending machines, as if commanding the audience to buy lies. In Marijke van Warmerdam’s film, Flecks of Light, a skinny boy stands silently on the bank of a forest lake, the dripping wet pockets of his yellow bathing shorts turned inside out. On the lake a duck paddles by. ‘Does the boy jump?’ a visitor inquired impatiently of the guard. He replied apologetically ‘Sorry, no, he doesn’t.’ ” Frieze Magazine about Expo 2000, Nov./Dec. 2000
