Anonymous user comment: “Interesting how an image of one person’s work can instantly remind you of another’s. I thought immediately about a performance done by the Georgian artist Mamuka Japaridze where he walked through the streets of Tbilisi dressed in a similar way. I tried to find some images of it to post here but alas I could not find any.”

Anonymous user comment: “I was drawn to this image as I wondered in which city the photo was taken – the desolate streetscape could be in numerous cities around the world. On turning the invitation card over I discovered it is an image of Brooklyn, New York – taken in 1994 by Steven Parrino. I find it interesting that Oliver Mosset chose an image from another fellow artist for an invitation to his own exhibition. I didn’t really know either of them but on further investigation found out they were both mainly known for their monochrome paintings, which only makes the choice of this image more interesting.”

Archiv ohne Inhalt
Anonymous user comment: “I work a lot with archival practice in my own art work so i was naturally drawn to this invitation. I really enjoy the method of posing questions on an invitation card as I can imagine then going to the exhibition and already having the discourses raised by them on my mind on entering the space. Questions 2 and 10 are very interesting.”

Great learning of a new author from an exhibition invite. The show sounds intriguing too… Here is quite a nice review from New York Times: new york times review”
Theorema – Pietro Mattioli
Anonymous user comment: “I saw Teorema the other night at Xenix where a Pasolini retrospective was playing the entire month of November. I needed a couple of hours and a few glasses of red wine until I could work out what I had just seen. It is a marvel of a film. Plus I also recently spent 2 months in Rome and was hanging out quite a lot in a little wine bar in Pigneto just across the street from where Pasolini shot his first film Accattone. Hence my attraction to this invite!”
