17 x 15 x 5 cm
16 mm celluloid, film ‘Skytypers’, wood, paint, metal
series of ca 30 unique pins, hand-made by the artist

On behalf of Eye on Art – Artists Talk at Eye in Amsterdam on 11 March 2025, 30 speakers were invited to throw a light on each of the presented film loops. In gratitude for the personal lectures – one and a half minute each – of technicians, experts and friends, Marijke presented them with a pin. The used 16 mm celluloid clipping is taken from her film “Skytypers”. A tiny orange ball at the end of the gold spray painted pin refers to a series of film loops on oranges she is working on now.

It includes the exact ratio of the three colors of the painting. When you hold this book in your hands, you have the entire surface of the canvas in your hands.

There is a self-adhesive sticker on the back so that the owner can determine the background himself. Instead of framing the work, it can be mounted on a wall or window and thus become part of an interior.

Franck Bragigand has made two working methods he devised an essential part of his work. A visitor can approach him at any time with, for example, a chair or cupboard and ask to have it painted. The object taken can be painted monochrome or each surface is given a separate color using his method of ‘un plan, une couleur’, as he calls it. In the latter case, there is more work and the asking price is higher. After the painting method has been determined, a price is agreed. The 6-part invitation card from 1999 is printed in both monochrome and ‘each area, one color’. KvG

 

Additional information

FRANCK BRAGIGAND: PSS (Public Street Sculpture), 1999

The title of the exhibition “Garbage in order to…” refers to a recycling method. Franck Bragigand found all kinds of objects in the garbage on the street, which he cleaned, sanded, painted and exhibited as brand new in the gallery.
After the exhibition, the objects were thoughtfully placed back on the street – almost like an installation. The ‘consumer’ could take the originally discarded rubbish from the street back into his home, varnished and well. Bragigand brings street waste or second-hand goods back into circulation through various systems. KvG
