GILLIAN WEARING, Total Stranger, 2013
84 × 52,5 cm
signed, numbered
edition 100
published by AOTUEditions / Art on the Underground Editions, London, England
“The Tube is full of strangers. We acknowledge this fact, knowing that we too are strangers to others. My project is to photograph a stranger. The person came forward via an open call advertised in the Metro newspaper and on the TfL website. I chose them through a raffleticket system, which did not reveal their name, age or gender. Until we met on a train and I took her photograph, I still didn’t know her identity, and she didn’t know who I was either. For a brief moment, we were total strangers to each other.” Gillian Wearing

The red curlicue is not merely a typographical gesture. Here it also expresses a wonderful experience of the artist when traveling under the ground from one stop to the next one. Lawrence Weiner says about this wall sign as work: “One is often confronted by the classic logo of the underground and the transportation system. There has to be something that deals with the sheer wonder and sensual sense of in fact traveling under the ground (being in motion). What has been transcribed to the poster and the plaque is my sense of traveling under the ground”. Hence the interspace between ‘under’ and ‘ground’. KvG

MARC BAUER, Untiled, 2013
paper bag
signed, numbered
edition 100
published by Migros Museum, Zurich, Switzerland € 100,- January 2013
Marc Bauer lives and works in Amsterdam and Berlin. His drawings, installations and videos suggest a mix of childhood memories and fantasies that repeatedly transgress taboos. His works unsettle a traditional understanding of morality. The lines in his drawings are so out of focus, in fact, that here and there they barely give shape and definition, blending and dissolving often into a mist of gray. With all their blurring and smudging, his drawings seem to emulate painting. In this, technically, Marc Bauer plots a new twist in the classical story of drawing versus painting. Here butterflies are symbolizing freedom or innocence, yet this depicted beauty of nature is paradoxically put in order and apparently framed.
ANAHITA RAZMI, States, 2013
DVD, 36 min., loop
edition 10 + 2 AP, numbered, signed
published by Kunstverein Hannover, Hanover, Germany
Anahita Razmi has a special relationship with Iran, the homeland of her father. She connects with it on the level of a stranger, as she explains, “Somebody who is on the outside, but who at the same time finds herself in some kind of indefinable relationship with this alien place.” Here she focusses on the question of what happens when ‘Haram'(i.e. sinful in Islamic jurisprudence/forbidden) and ‘Halal'(i.e. lawful/permissable) are transplanted into a different cultural, as well as aesthetic, political context.
