JCJ Vanderheyden has produced various mirrors, most of the time for the sake of an exhibition in order to play with repetition through mirroring. This one comes with two yellow painted glass laths, i.e. one on the lower side and one on the right side. A method he uses on the edges of his paintings as well. The horizontal and vertical painted laths reappear in the reflection of the mirror.

Uncommon signature put straight into the image of the print, by which the artist’s name creates much more depth to the depicted firmament. It functions as a repoussoir.

“Bracket” is about a choreography for cats that comes in from the right and leaves the stage at the left. The second Act is executed the other way around. The structure of this choreography is apparently based on angle brackets often used in mathematics, denoting some form of grouping.
BEN VAUTIER, Anything Anyhow / N’importe Quoi n’Importe Comment, nd. [1972]
each 9,5 x 12,5 cm
2 loose cards, offset on thin paper (160 g/m2)
edition 2000
published by Rijksuniversiteit Utrecht, Utrecht, The Netherlands
excellent condition
inv.BVau 1020
These two loose cards come from an envelope that contains five contributions of Ben Vautier, George Brecht, Gerhard von Graevenitz and François Morellet. The envelope was part of “TOEVAL”, a ring binder produced on behalf of a symposium. A fifth contribution consists of two dices with a Mozart score. It is published as examples of chance, but may be considered as an artist’s edition since the ideas and instructions come straight from the artists. It is not known if all loose contributions by various artists (e.g. “Chance Imagery” of George Brecht) have been added to the complete edition of 2000 copies.
A copy is in the collection of the Van Abbemuseum, Eindhoven, The Netherlands.
‘Actually it is not a catalogue but an artist’s book, with mostly original contributions by artists. That Morellet sheet – translucent paper – is usually signed.’
