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.

John M Armleder contributed to the Art Information Festival in Middelburg, Netherlands in 1975. This Festival was initiated and organised by Peter van Beveren.


inv.JMA 748

 

‘The idea of ​​John and his Ecart Performance Group consisted of a performance based on a composition for three musicians and a conductor. In preparation for the concert, they spent a few days with me in Middelburg, as you can read in the sender’s details, id est “Ecart Publications” at the Art Information Center.
Through this edition, the concert was announced to, among others, around 20 people and institutions as a “Concert Piece Project” with the title “Chant Piano, Seul Chant”. The small stamps were part of my stamps with which I decorated correspondences and are here symbolic of the number of objects that were part of the concert.’

‘The piece of music set up by John Armleder consisted of three gentlemen sitting behind a table, namely John Armleder, Patrick Lucchini and Carlos Garcia. There were dozens of small items on the table, from toys to shredded paper. I was the conductor and with my baton, standing behind a lectern, I indicated who had to make as much noise as possible with the object of my choice for a few seconds. A score of John’s concept was handed out to the public.’

In 1992 John M Armleder exhibited in Museum Utrecht in The Netherlands. The exhibition was named “Pour Paintings 1989-1992” and a museum catalogue with all his Pour Paintings was published. On site and on behalf of his show he produced three large paintings that caused a lot of drippings on the floor. Armleder proposed to intercept these paint drippings on a large cotton cloth that would be cut into smaller pieces of cloth kept in a cardboard pizza box. In this way 105 pieces were cut with one exceptionally large left-over that was folded in the last pizza box.
