Postcards were sent to people from a mailing list of the artist. An enlarged version of the same postcard was released as a poster in an edition of 25 + 5 AP.

‘In her performances, videos, textual works, photographs, and installations, Rosler confronts her audiences with political subjects and the role of the media, analyzing quotidian, domestic, and urban life from a feminist viewpoint not altogether devoid of humor. In her series, “Beauty Knows No Pain,” or “Body Beautiful” (1965-74), she used techniques of collage to create a sense of unease with the ways in which women are portrayed. She has used this technique continuously, as in her well-known series of photomontages, “Bringing the War Home: House Beautiful,” and “Bringing the War Home: In Vietnam” (1967-72). Here, as in her installation “B-52 in Baby’s Tears” (1974), Rosler scrutinizes the role of the mass media in wartime.’ Generali Foundation 1974, Salzburg, Austria.

Textiles were an instrument for the viewer and prompted a specific action, such as lying on or leaning against them. According to Walthers, the textile objects he sewed became works of art when a person or a group of people did something with them, he stated. In this case a hand may be resting on the surface of the neatly sewn canvas.


Here Franz Erhard Walther’s hand is put on a copy of the edition.

On behalf of Eye on Art – Artists Talk at Eye in Amsterdam on 11 March 2025, 30 speakers were invited to throw a light on each of the presented film loops. In gratitude for the personal lectures – one and a half minute each – of technicians, experts and friends, Marijke presented them with a pin. The used 16 mm celluloid clipping is taken from her film “Skytypers”. A tiny orange ball at the end of the gold spray painted pin refers to a series of film loops on oranges she is working on now.
