Postcards were sent to people from a mailing list of the artist. An enlarged version of the same postcard was released as a poster in an edition of 25 + 5 AP.

‘In her performances, videos, textual works, photographs, and installations, Rosler confronts her audiences with political subjects and the role of the media, analyzing quotidian, domestic, and urban life from a feminist viewpoint not altogether devoid of humor. In her series, “Beauty Knows No Pain,” or “Body Beautiful” (1965-74), she used techniques of collage to create a sense of unease with the ways in which women are portrayed. She has used this technique continuously, as in her well-known series of photomontages, “Bringing the War Home: House Beautiful,” and “Bringing the War Home: In Vietnam” (1967-72). Here, as in her installation “B-52 in Baby’s Tears” (1974), Rosler scrutinizes the role of the mass media in wartime.’ Generali Foundation 1974, Salzburg, Austria.

Textiles were an instrument for the viewer and prompted a specific action, such as lying on or leaning against them. According to Walthers, the textile objects he sewed became works of art when a person or a group of people did something with them, he stated. In this case a hand may be resting on the surface of the neatly sewn canvas.


Here Franz Erhard Walther’s hand is put on a copy of the edition.

Added information:
This edition is made from the regular poster announcing the exhibition of Otobong Nkanga at Portikus. With the applied laser technique the lower part of the poster is cut off completely.

‘In 1875 a prospector scouting the land described Green Hill, an area so rich in ore minerals that it radiated the bright green colour of oxidised copper. The Green Hill would become legendary as having the highest concentration and diversity of minerals in Namibia. Yet what Nkanga came upon was a cavernous hole. The extraction of the minerals malachite and azurite had mined the hill into oblivion. The copper had been processed, transported and erected elsewhere with no tangible connection to its origins in Tsumeb. The closed mine, abandoned miners’ houses and disused railway buildings that Nkanga encountered languish – ruins and debris of places that once bustled and bristled with desire.’

‘From an encounter between Voebe de Gruyter and Herman Labro [founder of Galerie Eve’n and Yet] arises a collaboration which, in 1996, results in De Gruyter’s second solo exhibition, Winterbeelden, this time in Louvain. Winterbeelden ultimately turns out not to be a true solo: curator Labro has one more ace up his sleeve, the Swiss photographer Peter Blatt and Lizz Kampe are also invited. However, there is no trace of De Gruyter’s co-exhibitors before or during the exhibition.

The 2020 encounter does not lead to a new joint project: De Gruyter declines. This happens against the backdrop of a relationship that becomes strained when, in 2015, De Gruyter discovers that the MOEV collective consists of no one other than Labro himself.’ Ref. “How It Functions – an introduction”, Rudi Salomon, May 2025
