Brice Marden: Graphic Drawings
Anonymer User Beitrag: “Eine Landschaft entsteht, einzig durch die Verwendung von Graphitstiften verschiedener Härten und dem natürlichen Muster des schweren Papiers. ‘Koh-I-Moor’ steht unten auf der Karte, die Herkunft des Werkzeugs. Auch der grosse Diamant der englischen Kronjuwelen. Aus England kommt auch der erste Bleistift; Graphit in handlicher Form.”
Thomas Hauseago: Ode
User Beitrag: “Schön und einfach. Die Rückseite hat ihre eigene Geschichte und macht den Druck zum Inhalt.” Sven
Rock, Paper, Scissors, Arbeiten auf Papier und 1 Skulptur
User Beitrag: “Ich habe diese Ausstellung zwar nicht besucht, jodoch hat mich die minimalistische Gestaltung von schmuckloser Schriftart, Papierfarbe und grafischer Illustration ausserordentlich gefallen.” Jan Steiner

Evidence
Testing the limits of materiality, Barry produced this poster for an exhibition that had neither a location nor a date. The address is a post-office box, and the telephone number for the gallery is an answering service with a recorded message describing the “work.” The work was the release, by the artist, of five measured volumes of odorless, colorless, noble gasses into the atmosphere in various locations surrounding Los Angeles, where they would diffuse and expand naturally into infinity.
While documentary photographs were taken of the action of the releases, the only physically tangible evidence of the work would remain the poster, published by the New York art dealer Seth Siegelaub, who stated, “He has done something and it’s definitely changing the world, however infinitesimally. He has put something into the world but you just can’t see it or measure it. Something real but imperceptible.”
