“When Mike Kelley moved to Los Angeles in the mid 1970’s to attend the California Institute of the Arts in Valencia, several of his first public performances and exhibitions occurred at LACE including “The Little Girls Room” where Kelley exhibited props, drawings, photographs, writings and an environmental audio work. Building his reputation as a provocateur, many of his pieces critique American culture and consumerism and are intended to make the viewer uncomfortable.”

MAI-THU PERRET, set of 4 glasses, 2010

MAI-THU PERRET, 2010
set of 4 glasses, edition 100
Swiss Institute, New York      US$ 100.-   January 2011

Mai-Thu Perret’s works, in a variety of media, from ceramics and textiles to paintings, sculptures or film, have all in common a hand-made aesthetic and use the formal vocabulary of modernism. References to Russian constructivism, 19th-century Arts & Crafts Movement, early-20th-century mysticism, Minimalism, and various other modern art movements can be found all over her work. By interweaving historical movement and her own fiction,  Mai-Thu Perret questions utopias and how they could be a context for the production of objects and especially works of art. Within the production of both utilitarian and decorative objects, she’s interested in the status of artworks.

In allusion to Andy Warhol’s “Double Elvis,” Candice Breitz has created photographs of the five pairs of twins who participated in her performance “New York, New York.”
Candice Breitz: “I am interested in deploying the art work as a catalyst, one which momentarily freeze-frames problematic ways of making meaning, and renders them strange. My interest lies not in censoring the desires inspired by the commodity (be that commodity a hipper-than-thou consumer trademark or a cheaply printed centrefold), but in recasting them so as to expose their logic, and, in certain cases, to push their boundaries.”

16 posters, full colour offset, in cardboard folder

edition of 50
€ 4.800,- plus € 24,- Track & Trace registered mail

Glenn Ligon is at the forefront of a generation of artists who came to prominence in the late 1980s with conceptually based work that investigates the social, linguistic, and political constructions of race, gender, and sexuality. Originally, the posters were clandestinely distributed on the streets. The posters found audiences by chance, provoking questions or reactions, with no didactic component to the street campaign.

LIMITED EDITION

CIRCLE JERK: 16 artists, 16 posters
As the name implies Circle Jerk is an ad hoc group of queer artists lending each other a hand. What began in 2007 with an original group of 13 artists has grown to 16 participants. Each artist has contributed a work from their current production. There is no specific curatorial premise; nonetheless the works connect with a shared attitude.Participating artists include Andy Fabo, Brendan Fernandes, Bruce LaBruce,
John Greyson, Daryl Vocat, Glenn Ligon, Stephen Andrews, Luis Jacob,
David Altmejd, Chris Curreri, John McLachlin, Micah Lexier, Peter Kingstone,
Will Munro, Ed Pien, and David Grenier.The posters were clandestinely distributed on the streets to coincide with
Art Toronto 2009 in late October. There is no didactic component to the street campaign. The posters found an audience by chance, provoking questions or reactions. A signed, limited edition was a fundraiser for Art Metropole. The set is packaged in a custom-made portfolio carrying case printed with artists’ names and the title “Circle Jerk 2009” displayed in pink text. The edition has been produced in a very limited quantity of 50 sets of all 16 posters, full colour offset printed, signed and numbered.
