This is the first catalogue of works by Sylvie Fleury. Shopping bag installation “It’s Clinique Bonus Time’ (1991) has been installed by her for a second time at Galerie van Gelder in Amsterdam in 1992. She added some bags to it, including the shoppings from where she got the paper bags from in Beverly Hills, Los Angeles, USA.
For some reason it is rarely mentioned that Fleury’s paper bag installations contain original shoppings of Sylvie Fleury. At the time she installed the piece she doubted to take her shoppings with her back home, since all these cloths were personal belongings that fitted her.
Apparently the list of exhibition venues in the biography was added to this publication after it was printed in 1991, since it states shows done in 1992. Or the publisher anticipated on the scheduled solo exhibition at Galerie van Gelder in Amsterdam and a group exhibition at Galerie Gilbert Brownestone in Paris.

This set of 5 postcards in transparent envelope shows and describes five kinds of books: Unseeable Books, Imperceptible Books, Invisible Books, Ethereal Books and Undetectable Books. None of these categories is present in the depicted book cases. Claude Closky imagined to have them filled with these five kinds of books as a kind of wish to show the “unmanifested” among the incessant flow of images that surrounds us.

This object out of the edition is one of the few larger objects consisting of a unique collage and a sheet of paper with a text written in felt pen ink. Each multiple came with a plastic shopping bag, hence three parts.
Jonathan Meese is known for ‘Repeating incantations aloud or holding up cardboard signs with formulas as if to invoke the gods and placate them. Consequently, Meese designed an amulet for texts on art. It is amazing how Meese’s artistic repertoire changes in these amulets entitled “Nabob to Nabob = D.A.F. (Humanity)” condensed. Announcement Texte zur Kunst, 2000.
The cardboard amulets are roughly held together by pieces of cardboard or wood and glue, which is reminiscent of Meese’s quickly built structures made of wooden sticks. The amulet also pushes his cult around the new wave band D.A.F. (German-American Friendship).
Half of the edition was published with collages, each made as a unique object. A part is dated 2001. The other half consisted of hexagonal hangers made of plexiglass with a portrait of one of the members of the Electropunk and cult band Deutsch Amerikanische Freundschaft.
