Anonymer User Beitrag: “Ich mag die Künstler und die Zeitepoche, der diese Karte entstammt. Sie (die Graphik) ist super random und doch humorvoll. Ein Zeitgeist wird transformiert.”

Tracey Emin
Anonymous user comment: I find this drawing incredibly moving. Emin’s drawings in general are very singular and powerful. I found a really interesting article she wrote about her relationship to drawing in the Guardian. My favourite passage in her text (I also like her honesty when she writes) is the following:
“It took me years to understand the magic of drawing. For years, I tried to make things look how they are – instead of being what they are. Drawing is an alchemic language. Some of my favourite drawings I have done with my eyes closed – or so drunk I do not remember making them.”
Oh, and here’s a link to the article:
Anselm Kiefer
Anonymous user comment: “Amongst all the invitation cards within this archive this is one of the rare ones that show the artist’s atelier.”
Francesco Clemente
Anonymous user comment: “Clemente has such a distinctive style. I have always found his paintings very compelling. The soft oranges in this work are especially beautiful. I also find the font on the back of the card very beautiful. I have a feeling it is Clemente’s own handwriting – I can’t be sure but from looking at a lot of the other invitation cards for Galleria Lorcan O’Neill in Rome, where this show was held, it appears that each artist handwrites the text.”
47 Canal, New York City
47 Canal is a New York based gallery founded by the artist Margret Lee and the gallerist Oliver Newton in 2011. As far as I know, they don’t send out invitation cards, but use email to announce their shows. These announcements resemble press releases, but are often written by the artists themselves. Some come with images, others are lists, or read like poems. They tend to be subjective (or pretend to be subjective), and can easily be understood (or misunderstood) as part of the exhibition and the artist’s practice. Information is replaced by / combined with attitude, a gesture that became one of 47 Canal’s trademarks. DB
