In 1987 Kristjan Gudmundsson started to make use of graphite on paper without using graphite as a traditional technique to draw with. In stead he merely combined graphite and paper as an assemblage, i.e. a solid block of graphite together with a paper roll. In ‘Horizontal-Diagonal-Vertical’, its use has been applied as a collage showing three formal compositions. KvG

MARIJKE VAN WARMERDAM, pin, 2025
17 x 15 x 5 cm
16 mm celluloid, film ‘Skytypers’, wood, paint, metal
series of ca 30 unique pins, hand-made by the artist

On behalf of Eye on Art – Artists Talk at Eye in Amsterdam on 11 March 2025, 30 speakers were invited to throw a light on each of the presented film loops. In gratitude for the personal lectures – one and a half minute each – of technicians, experts and friends, Marijke presented them with a pin. The used 16 mm celluloid clipping is taken from her film “Skytypers”. A tiny orange ball at the end of the gold spray painted pin refers to a series of film loops on oranges she is working on now.
