RICHARD ARTSCHWAGER, Tattly Air Quotes Temporary Tattoos [Quotation marks], 2012

RICHARD ARTSCHWAGER, Quotation marks, 2012 [tattoos]
7,7 x 5 cm
4 quotation marks in plastic envelope, transfer prints, printed paper, staple
edition unknown
For sale in 2013 at the Whitney Museum, New York, USA

The space between two quotation marks either on human skin or e.g. on a gallery wall emphasize these spaces in between. This tattoo work with quotation marks is apparently not made to unravel what is ‘quoted’ in a given space. Whitney Museum, New York – March 2013

In March 2013 on its website the Whitney Museum categorizes this multiple as an edition that is ‘Reminiscent of Richard Artschwager’s artwork, where he utilizes punctuation outside of its normal realm, rendering its meaning questionable’ and was sold as “Air Quotes Temporary Tattoos”. There is no printed name of Richard Artschwager as a kind of authorization comparable to the “Richard Artschwager Quotation Earrings” The Whitney had simultaneously for sale.

published by Art on the Tube Edition, London, England
GBP 3,000.- March 2014

“The Tube is full of strangers. We acknowledge this fact, knowing that we too are strangers to others. My project is to photograph a stranger. The person came forward via an open call advertised in the Metro newspaper and on the TfL website. I chose them through a raffle­ticket system, which did not reveal their name, age or gender. Until we met on a train and I took her photograph, I still didn’t know her identity, and she didn’t know who I was either. For a brief moment, we were total strangers to each other.” Gillian Wearing

The red curlicue is not merely a typographical gesture. Here it also expresses a wonderful experience of the artist when traveling under the ground from one stop to the next one. Lawrence Weiner says about this wall sign as work:
“One is often confronted by the classic logo of the underground and the transportation system. There has to be something that deals with the sheer wonder and sensual sense of in fact traveling under the ground (being in motion). What has been transcribed to the poster and the plaque is my sense of traveling under the ground”. Hence the interspace between ‘under’ and ‘ground’. KvG
