When Thomas Huber in 1989 was commissioned by the Bayerische Hypothek Bank, he proposed to “melt the bank’s capital into soap”. The client declined the honor, after which Huber continued to work on his plan without the bank. He made a large number of paintings, drawings, watercolors and a scale model of the bank. In 1992 he exhibited in the Centraal Museum in Utrecht on the occasion of which an edition was published. The value of things – and therefore art was – questioned and money was turned into soap.

Nevertheless with the sale of the soap edition, soap was converted back into money. KvG

JOELLE TUERLINCKX, Dacht en Nacht Open 24/24 – Open Museum, 1997 [poster]

Posted on by

JOELLE TUERLINCKX, Dacht en Nacht Open 24/24 – Open Museum, 1997 (also known as “Openstelling”)
91,5 x 62 cm
double-sided poster designed by Joëlle Tuerlinckx
published by Provinciaal Museum, Hasselt, Belgium
inv.JTue 000-pr

Joëlle told me that after the opening of her exhibition ‘Dacht en Nacht Open’ she was informed by Stanley Brouwn that he does not appreciate to be mentioned in exhibitions he does not know about. Joëlle decided to meet his wish by crossing out his name on the posters. Recently she told me that this crossing is a drawing for her and that she would even be willing to sign it as such in case such a crossed poster would pop up somewhere.
