WJM KOK, Maxi-Color, 1992

edition 200
published by the artist
This edition was never completed; circa 50 copies were made. Here a used copy with sticker residues is shown.
The prints and paintings (1991-present) with the name Maxi-Color are part of a large group of works in which an industrial product is appropriated by the artist. On the one hand, this group of works can be divided into ‘appropriation art’ and, on the other hand, into a product that is ‘already made’ as Marcel Duchamps put it. An ‘objet trouvé’ as the colour book featured above.

The House Project (1974-2007) is originally a sculpture installed in the open air by Hreinn Fridfinnsson. Once he read about an aristocratic character in an Icelandic novel who decided to build his house inside-out, with wallpaper, curtains and framed photos as its façade, to turn the outside as indoors. And the other way around. Hreinn Fridfinnsson honoured this idea of erecting such a house again in the middle of nowhere in the high lands of Iceland in 1974.
