A poster by German artist Michael Riedel. As Martin Kippenberger or Lawrence Weiner, Riedel’s announcements, invitation cards, and flyers are an important element of his art practice. They communicate communication, they brand branding, the archive archiving and they record recording. If you have them all, you may have everything and nothing.

User comment: “It has to have 3 ingredients: 1. image; 2. text; 3. a form (more than a sheet of paper)
It has to do something – turn, fold, flip. A key aspect is text of ranging sizes + fonts, especially the text which runs off the page, forcing you to follow it, open the poster, rotate it to see more. I want to touch it, to zoom in and out – that is, to conclude a thought and have my attention renewed by an adjacent image.” Lara Mehling

Das Grafische Werk von Martin Kippenberger

Martin Kippenberger erklärte seine Einladungskarten zum grafischen Werk: “Ich habe dann ein paar Dinge im Sinne eines Wiedererkennungsprinzips genommen, wie zum Beispiel auf den Einladungskarten, wo ich drauf bin, und die dann zu meinem graphischen Werk geworden sind. Wer alle Karten gesammelt hat, hat das komplette graphische Werk von Kippenberger.” (aus Martin Kippenberger Kippenberger leicht gemacht, Interview mit Daniel Baumann, Genf, 1997) Für mehr Kippenberger Karten, hier klicken.
