Press release Gagosian Gallery, New York, USA:

July 27th – August 24th, 2007
Press Release: Gagosian Gallery is pleased to announce “With Full Consent”, Jill Magid’s first solo exhibition in New York, on display at the fifth floor space at 980 Madison Avenue. The show features an array of works linked by the investigation of the emotional and philosophical relationship between “protective” institutions and conventions, and individual identity. A prime example is Lincoln Ocean Victor Eddy, a large-scale multimedia project initiated upon the artist’s return home after living abroad for five years. When an announcement over the subway PA informed everyone that any passenger may be subject to a search “for security reasons” Magid responded by approaching a police officer and asking him to search her. He refused, but she persisted. Ultimately she infiltrated his world – to a degree – Lincoln Ocean Victor Eddy: police code for “love.”

In 1980-1990’s an Autographengruppe in Bonn started to collect signatures of people well-known in sports, literature and the arts. Not only postcards but also pages of books were cut out of art catalogues that were signed on the spot during openings or more often requested by the club members through mail. In the early beginning of this century the collector’s group decided to sell little by little a part of their collection on Internet through eArt.de and eBay.

In 1980-’90’s an Autographengruppe in Bonn started to collect signatures of known people in sport, art and literature. In the early beginning of this century the collector’s group decided to sell little by little a part of their collection through Internet. Not only postcards but also pages of books were cut out after the members got hold on a signed publication. For that they visited openings at museums and galleries. In this way, the inner cover of a catalogue of Claes Oldenburg was added to the collection of signatures. This cut-off back cover is part of a catalogue that Städtische Kunsthalle in Düsseldorf published in 1970. It shows a part of a hand saw that runs further at the back on the outside.
