In the 90’s Jenny Holzer texts works were extreme, aggressive, contradictory or even an open door and were acclaimed for its visual one-liners on e.g. female victims of war that were more a statement than poetry. KvG

The title of Eyktarmörk se∂ frá Haekinsdal í Kjós could at best be translated as Orientation point of dayparts seen from Haekinsdal in Kjós.
This artist’s book of Birgir Andrèsson (1955 – 2007) shows seven parts of the day with the help of reading the shadows on surrounding mountains at fixed moments of the day. In the 18th century Icelanders in the countryside used this method for reading the time within each period of 24 hours. The eighth period of twelve ‘o clock at night was never used.
The book is dedicated to Douwe Jan Bakker (1943-1997) who lived and worked in Haarlem and visited several times Iceland where he studied the Icelandic vocabulary related to different conditions and characteristics of the Icelandic landscape.

With a necktie, cuff-inks, collar pins or his signature Julien Monnerie shows a preference for making works related to his body. Since 2014 he is specifically interested integrating his initial-like signature in his paintings and prints. In this polaroid edition he shaved his hair in the shape of his signature, playfully referring to artists like Man Ray and Yves Klein. KvG
HANA MILETIĆ, Your façades are peeling off like red onions (words found in Zagreb), 2015

Hana Miletić started a collection of photographs that she has made over the years of graffiti on the city walls in Zagreb. These writings on the wall helped her to understand what is at stake on a (micro)political level in her hometown. By isolating the words from their environment and by expanding them onto the pages of a book Miletić is able to amplify their more basic qualities.
Hana Miletić refers to weaving as a kind of ‘care work’; more than just the production of cloth, it doubles as a mode of conscious reparation through which she can process the damage and disrepair she notices in the world into precious artefacts. No longer merely serviceable or disposable like their referents, they are ends in themselves. Yet they also seem to perform an ironic take on the economy of weaving, exchanging modest materials – albeit woven ones like tarpaulins and gaffer tape – for rich ones and trading functionality for aesthetic worth.
