JOHN M ARMLEDER, Olivier’s rejects, 1994
40 x 40,5 cm
etching-aquatint cutting
unique series of 11
In March 1995 John M Armleder took part in a group exhibition The-repitition-that-is-a-repitition at Galerie van Gelder. For the first time ‘Olivier’s rejects’ were shown on a single needle; both clumsy and touching left-overs of a series of elemental forms in print of Olivier Mosset. “I was in Olivier’s atelier and I saw some interesting pieces of paper lying against a paper basket, obviously meant for throwing it away. I asked if I could get these left-overs of his print and cutting out session. That was no problem, but later on he discovered that I re-used his waste. He was a bit jealous when he saw the results, I think…… Well, anyway you should not tell him this.”
Many years later I read a text by Willy Parker in a newsletter (posted 13 March 2009) of Minus Plus, New York, USA, with a quote of John M Armleder: “I believe the work that is considered to be mine is someone else’s…anybody’s… the whole world. My work is a cultural event, an inevitable event. If all artists were to disappear, art would be produced by others with a different understanding, different means and different materials. As an individual, an artist simply fills a void. He is the means to an end, so that this arrangement, this accumulation of events can be organized.” Further in the article Parker gives a version on ‘Olivier’s rejects’ and states: ‘… and in 1994, unless we are mistaken, Olivier Mosset gave John Armleder a number of aquatints he considered to be inadequate (thinking that Armleder would doubtlessly use these for packaging materials or something of this nature), and then Armleder published them under the title Olivier’s Rejects. I don’t think it was a matter on inadequacy, but much more about the playful eye and mind of John…… and the ‘why not’ attitude of Olivier. KvG

In his fifties Man Ray shaved half his face for the above self-portrait. Francis Naumann has suggested that this act may have referred to Man Ray’s duel identity as an American artist with strong ties in Europe. He was living in Hollywood at the time he took the photograph in 1942, and would return with his wife Juliet to Paris in 1951 to spent the rest of his life.
This large triptych print was published as an announcement for a work called Autoritratto (23 x 18 cm), a signed and numbered photo edition of 23 copies – together with a biographical text and an archivist’s note in pencil with the name of the artist. Not discoloured copy!

“Approaches” is an interpretation of 115 art works that are part of the private collection of Kris van Dessel. From each work he took the most dominant colour and turned that into a plain monochrome surface that may be printed by the owner of the USB stick on standardized sheets of paper varying from size A4 to A0. There is no manual for the printing process. The artist gives the owner the freedom to have the prints machine folded into an A4 size, making it possible to store all prints in the cardboard box that comes with the edition.
