Corrections and Clarifications is an ongoing series of newspapers, each time containing an edited compilation of corrections ad randomly collected from daily international news. Each issue covering merely a list of corrections page after page.
In the paper issued in December 2016 (edition of 200) the colophon reads as follows: ‘Corrections and Clarifications is an ongoing publication, an intermittent compilation of daily revisions, retractions, re-wordings, distinctions and apologies to print news from September 2001 to the present. A reverse-chronological cataloging of lapses in naming and classification, of tangled catchphrases, detectable patterns of mis-speech and inflection, distraction, connotation and enumeration.’

This cloth object with Italian text is a reproduction of the artist’s handwriting. Guglielmo Achille Cavellini is a prominent Mail Artist, associated with the Poesia Visiva movement. In 1971 he invented autostoricizzazione (self-historicization), upon which he acted to create a deliberate popular history surrounding his existence, preferably in his personal handwriting. He was well known for his performances in lettered suits and this self-created historification from birth until 2037, including the announcements on his various years of death.

Sigurdur Gudmundsson once said: ‘I feel most at home in a country where I don’t speak the language, because then I have to use other senses to understand what the other means or says. I have to use sign language to make me understandable.’ Maybe this attitude has helped him to come to this renowned work ‘Event’ he made in 1975 as one of the first works in his photo series “Situations”.
Sigurdur Gudmundsson heeft ooit eens gezegd: “Ik voel mij het meeste thuis in een land waarvan ik de taal niet spreek, want dan moet ik andere zintuigen gebruiken om te begrijpen wat de ander bedoelt of zegt. Ik moet gebarentaal toepassen om mij begrijpbaar te maken.” Misschien heeft deze houding hem geholpen om het vermaarde werk ‘Event’ in 1975 te maken dat het begin werd van zijn reeks unieke fotowerken ‘Situaties’.
JUTTA KOETHER & STEVEN PARRINO, invitation, 2002
29,7 x 21 cm
print out on paper
mail from E-flux for Black Bonds in Swiss Institute, New York, USA
Black Bonds was an exhibition which reinvented anti-art’s collaborative spirit.
‘Our solution was to save them by blacking them out, canceling the image/object. A positive/negative, deconstruct to reconstruct, chaos to order to chaos… We decided to show these reclaimed paintings and dedicate the show to George Grosz’s Deathdada, caught in the flux between dissonance and consonance.’ Steven Parrino 2001
