ELVIRE BONDUELLE, Youpie, 2013
hand made tote bag: linen, screen print
ca 47 x 30 cm
incl. double-sided letter on stiff paper
Collection K. van Gelder, Amsterdam
‘This tote bag is not meant as an art work’ Elvire Bonduelle says. Therefore it is neither of work of art nor an edition. It is meant as a try-out to use the word “Youpie”. Here this object has been archived nevertheless because sometimes ambiguity is worthwhile to show since it tells something about the attitude of the artist involved. This work may be compared to another ambiguous ‘object’ given to me by Olivier Mosset. See heap of confetti in envelope: Olivier Mosset, .

The pages of “Reality” are taken from Emmanuel Kant’s ‘Kritik der reinen Vernunft’ of which the words lack. The pages merely show punctuation marks. Kant argues that our knowledge can never transcend experience.

For a Deluxe edition 100 copies plus several PP (Publishers Proof) were signed. Most of the 73 artists solely signed their contributions for the Deluxe portfolios, while a few others signed, and also numbered and/or dated their contribution. Reportedly, there were also a very small handful of artists who did not sign at all due to ideological reasons or that period their recent death like Marcel Duchamp’s. Although the latter signed a few grippers as approval before the production of one of the S.M.S. folios started at the end of 1968.
In the late 1960s two artists working with Xerox copiers were Paul Bergtold and Toby Mussman. The works done on regular 8 x 22 inch sheets of paper, not only depict mundane subject matters, but also emphasize the cheap quality of the process, as there is a lack of definition and detailing.
This Paul Bergtold contribution comes from the #4 portfolio, and consists of a pink tissue folio containing 12 compositions entitled “Machine Art,” that were created using a typewriter on top of the Xerox reproductions. Usually folded as issued, here unfolded as it comes from a special edition of 100.

‘When the show was finally selected, I looked over the cards and the body of work, and was surprised to find that it divided into quite distinct parts: 1) the work dealing with perception of exterior natural phenomena (Aycock, Dunlap, Holt) 2) the work re-framing or re-locating relatively factual material into personal patterns (Darboven, Kozlov, Denes, Anderson) 3) the work dealing with biography, usually autobiography (Altenrath, Bartlett, Lasch, Johnson, Ukeles, Antin, N.E.Thing Co., Mayer) and 4) the work dealing with transformation, primarily of the self (Wilson, Nahum, Myers, Mobus, Nolden, Apple, Stein, Piper, Tacha, Kitchel, Kuffler), with some overlaps in the latter two groupings.

CADY NOLAND, No Land, 2018
28,7 x 20,8 cm
ink hand stamped book couver + envelope
Lümbeck binding, SC, 124 pp.
2nd and extended edition
mint condition
published by Anonymous, London, UK
Private collection, New York, USA
sold
The book “No land” was first published in 2011. This is a second and extended edition, composed with a ‘Clip-on method’. It has been archived by The Archive is Limited, in spite of its unauthorised publication. The book consists of a peculiar compilation of ‘found’ reproductions of all sorts. The notion ‘found’ ought to be understood as trying to circumvent the artist’s strict control over the use and dissemination of her images, texts and works.
A hand stamped couver and tight envelope, and its cheap printing give it the looks of an artist’s book. In fact, it is a full colour chronological compendium of art reproductions taken from magazines, press clippings and exhibition catalogues. The title page of this book reads “Art reproductions of Cady Noland’s work 1989 – 2006”, as if it concerns an institutional catalogue. Instead art reproductions themselves have been reproduced.
There is no colophon or name of publisher that authorises this publication. On Internet there is a link leading to The Piracy Project, being part of And Publishing.org in the UK.
