DAAN VAN GOLDEN, Violen, 1991-2012 [edition]

DAAN VAN GOLDEN, Violen, 1991-2012
32 x 32 cm
colour photo
edition 100 + 30 AP
signed, numbered
mint
published by En/Of part of Bottrop-boy, Kleve, Germany
€ 1.250,- plus € 18,- Track & Trace registered mail

En/Of 046 was released on the occasion of an exhibition Daan van Golden at De Hallen in Haarlem. The artist chose an image from his well known series “New Delhi”. It comes with a new album with music by by Jefre Cantu-Ledesma, who has worked previously on an En/Of record as part of Tarentel. This publication comes with a folded poster of 30 x 30 cm as issued.

When it comes to making a photo edition for Daan van Golden there is not really an interest in limiting an edition in forehand. Basically he prefers to have the amount of a photo edition defined by the amount of buyers during an exhibition. Nevertheless, apparently here he has agreed on applying edition numbers to ‘Violen, 1991-2012′.
Re-using a work from even decades ago is another modus operandi. In this sense the editions by Daan van Golden are contextualized and re-usable any time in whatever form or technique.

VANESSA SAFAVI, After the Monument Comes the People, 2012

VANESSA SAFAVI, After the Monument Comes the People, 2012
100 x 70 cm
digital print
signed, numbered
edition 10 + 2 AP
published by Kunsthalle, Basel, Switzerland

 

Vanessa Safavi explores the meaning of monuments in various cultures. In the title ‘After the Monument Comes the People’ she calls attention to monuments that are commonly thought to embody “the ideals and goals” of a people. Instead, they mainly support the political goals of the state  —  a state that has monuments built by the people supposedly for the people. After the monument, a dictation by ideology comes the people, the community, which articulates its own goals.

In her wall sculpture ‘After the Monument Comes the People’, shown in the Kunsthalle Basel, Vanessa Safavi makes use of abstract, slim and upright forms that reflect the individual in a geometric abstract way. Curves or incomplete rings in these vertical figures represent ‘faces’. They become self-made symbols when they function as a reference to the individuality of each of the figures, which assembled together form a kind of ‘community’. Here two of them are shown in the print with the same title ‘After the Monument Comes the People’.

[this is the title of the solo exhibition in the Whitney Museum] is a comprehensive review of the artist’s remarkable creative explorations of the mediums of sculpture, painting, and drawing and the first U.S. retrospective exhibition of Artschwager’s work since one organised at the Whitney in 1988.”

Richard Prince says about the vinyl covered house depicted on the label:
“Record House is located on Righter Rd. right down from my studio in upstate NY. It once was a hunting cabin. After I bought it, I removed the porch that surrounded it. I bought a lot of records on e-bay and cut them into shapes of shingles and nailed them up all over the structure. Vinyl and wax siding.”
