Quite often John M Armleder is mesmerised – as he calls it – by how banal objects can change character by changing their position (context). Here, in 1989 JMA bumped up to a “Chrome silver car alloy wheel center hub cap” with no logo of car company Mercedes Benz, he told me. He made it into a disc one may place on a table as an object.

In 1976, Dominik Steiger published quarterly magazine NERVENKRITIK under the name Buchdienst Fesch. Each issue (ca 20 pages) featured illustrations and text by fellow artists. The cover of the 250-copy print run displayed an enlarged so-called “Bone drawing” (Knöchelchen-Zeichnung] of Dominik Steiger. It functioned as a logo that is also depicted here on the cassette label of Low Nose.
