This is a series of 12 postcards, after a copy of Richard Hamilton’s original hand colored postcard ‘Whitley Bay’. Each postcard is a reproduction of the previous card and was sent by mail monthly in 2015.
The first card shows a reproduction of the original hand coloured card by Hamilton, hence titled ‘A copy of Richard Hamilton Whitley Bay, 1965’. To make a copy has been pushed by Jonathan Monk to an extreme by making copies of copies. Each following card (entitled ‘Another copy of Richard Hamilton Whitley Bay 1965’) is reproduced from the previous one. Due to reproduction processes in printeries a printer’s boarder trimming of a 3 mm margin (bleed) each time was applied in order to get a clean cut of the print during each print run. By repeating this chopping process 12 times, each reproduction of the previous card has become more and more a closer close up.

Corrections and Clarifications is an ongoing series of newspapers, each time containing an edited compilation of corrections ad randomly collected from daily international news. Each issue covering merely a list of corrections page after page.
In the paper issued in December 2016 (edition of 200) the colophon reads as follows: ‘Corrections and Clarifications is an ongoing publication, an intermittent compilation of daily revisions, retractions, re-wordings, distinctions and apologies to print news from September 2001 to the present. A reverse-chronological cataloging of lapses in naming and classification, of tangled catchphrases, detectable patterns of mis-speech and inflection, distraction, connotation and enumeration.’
ANNAÏK LOU PITTILOUD, White Between The Darlings, 2014
folded: 11 x 15 x 0.5 cm
leporello
numbered, signed
edition 200, here nr 47/200
published by Barbara Seiler Gallery, Zurich, Switzerland
Annaïk Lou Pittiloud collects postcards, mainly bought at museum shops and kept as a kind of darlings. She exhibits them as pairs following logics that draw comparisons between different postcard reproductions of the same artwork. The pairs are mounted in a passe-partout with a little space in between.
In this edition Annaïk Lou Pittiloud created a distance between a reproduction of an art work and its description on the backside of the postcard by skipping the reproduced art work completely. Instead she replaced the front of the postcard with a description of her gallery exhibition at Barbara Seiler Gallery, i.e. “White Between The Darlings”.
Edition is available at Barbara Seiler Gallery, Zurich, Switzerland.

Descriptions of the term tote or tate for bags, meaning bags “to carry”, can be traced back to 1900. During the 1950s, tote bags began to enter into the main culture. Women primarily utilized them as practical handheld bags because they didn’t require much care.
