John M Armleder: ‘La Ligne d’Arrivée’ was a restaurant opposite Galerie Gilbert Brownstone & Cie situated in rue Saint-Gilles at nrs 9 and 26 in Paris. The voucher could be validated by ordering a dinner at the restaurant. Only 30 have been signed by the artist (quote JMA) and very few have been issued, because soon the restaurant closed its doors. When a dinner was paid with this voucher the owner of ‘La Ligne d’Arrivée’ would validate it with an ink stamp.” The latter was designed by John Armleder.

This signed and numbered stiff paper print is not numbered, but probably it was part of the 10th Anniversary Hundertmark Edition box issued in 1980.
Ref. Eric Andersen

Jiří Valoch’s works are not of the narrative kind. Basically he presents the reader a few words or a short text and the reader finishes the work as if a verbal puzzle has to be resolved. In all cases it creates relational images in the mind, playing with connotations of the used notions. It is a question of filling in the open space within a group of given data. With this he draws attention to what happens when one is ‘reading’ his given letters or words. In “Eye Piece XIII” the reader makes a sculpture above the print with movements of the eye. KvG

One day when George Maciunias heard about the circle paintings of Olivier Mosset he asked him to contribute to one of his Flux boxes. Based on the many circle paintings Mosset made Maciunias considered him a Fluxus artist, something that Olivier Mosset laughingly denied and refused to accept. Nevertheless George Maciunas produced a box with hand made red confetti: Flux Dots By Mosset Total Art Nice.
The screen print “Untitled (Rain Forest)” has also a Fluxus-like touch in the way the photo has been taken. Olivier Mosset took a snapshot of a small red monochrome painting that was hanging in his studio before being auctioned for a rain forest benefit. For the print this photo was rendered in a monochrome layer and silkscreen printed in the exact same red as the original painting, giving this work a conceptual touch.

This is a series of 12 postcards, after a copy of Richard Hamilton’s original hand colored postcard ‘Whitley Bay’. Each postcard is a reproduction of the previous card and was sent by mail monthly in 2015.

The first card shows a reproduction of the original hand coloured card by Hamilton, hence titled ‘A copy of Richard Hamilton Whitley Bay, 1965’. To make a copy has been pushed by Jonathan Monk to an extreme by making copies of copies. Each following card (entitled ‘Another copy of Richard Hamilton Whitley Bay 1965’) is reproduced from the previous one. Due to reproduction processes in printeries a printer’s boarder trimming of a 3 mm margin (bleed) each time was applied in order to get a clean cut of the print during each print run. By repeating this chopping process 12 times, each reproduction of the previous card has become more and more a closer close up.
