Olivier Mosset has remained the most radical artist of the BMPT group (1968-1969). Unlike colleagues Buren, Parmentier and Toroni, he still adheres to the group’s original idea of not making art that can be speculated upon. His ideal is to “create art that everyone can make” such as painting a monochrome canvas, preferably in an extra large format. When I once asked why he makes so few small canvases, he replied with a grin that “large canvases are difficult to sell”.
“De Zwitserse kunstenaar Olivier Mosset is het meest bekend om zijn conceptuele schilderkunst waarbij het niet moest gaan om zaken als originaliteit of auteursrecht die belangrijk zijn voor de kunstmarkt maar puur en alleen om het kunstwerk zelf. Hij maakte en maakt echter ook heel ander werk. Bij Fluxus in New York bijvoorbeeld verscheen in de jaren ‘60 een editie die bestond uit een plastic doosje met rode papiersnippertjes. Kees van Gelder, oprichter van de gelijknamige Galerie van Gelder, heeft ooit zijn stand op Art Rotterdam laten vol storten met soortgelijke stukjes papier, maar dan in de kleur grijs. Prachtig werk, en vast nog wel ergens te koop. Zelf bezit ik een auto van chocolade: Mosset heeft op de doos geschreven dat het een Buick Riviera betreft.”

TAKAKO SAITO, hand out by Takako on 14 July in Wiesbaden, 2022
ca 14 x 15 x 7 cm
plastic cup with text “On on On on”, felt pen ink, bean, colour print, cellophane bag
This object in cellophane bag was part of a performance in Nassauischer Kunstverein, Wiesbaden (Germany). Every ten years a Fluxus Anniversary is organised. ‘Takako’s performance consisted of her digging up all kinds of objects from a bag and throwing them one by one to the audience. Each object had one or more words on it. The people who caught the objects had to read aloud what was written on it. Completely different words, meaning didn’t matter, they were fantasy words to me. It did work comically, especially when she threw a lot of things in quick succession.’
