Work in Progress
Charlotte Posenenske
Published by Kunstsammlung Nordrhein-Westfalen, Düsseldorf, 2020, foldout poster, 10.5 × 21 cm (folded) 42 × 38 cm (unfolded), English / German
Price: €3

Produced on the occasion of the survey exhibition, Charlotte Posenenske: Work in Progress at the Kunstsammlung Nordrhein-Westfalen, 30 May–2 August, 2020.

In the 1960s, parallel with American Minimalism and the emerging Conceptual Art, Charlotte Posenenske (1930–1985) developed an impressive body of minimalist works within just twelve years, thus demonstrating her innovative understanding of art. Although the artist, who worked in Frankfurt am Main, exhibited during her lifetime together with artists such as Carl Andre, Donald Judd, and Sol LeWitt, and, in 1967, had an exhibition in the gallery of Konrad Fischer in Düsseldorf, which had opened only shortly before, her contribution to the discourse of Minimalism and Conceptual Art remained largely ignored for a long time.

Kunstverein’s in-house magazine is a cross between an academic journal and a darts club newsletter. Each issue contains a limited amount of contributions that vary in length according to the subject matter at hand. The remit of ‘Ginger&Piss’​ is simple: to provide a platform for candid critique but at the same time allow the author to stay hidden. Therefore, each contributor writes under a pseudonym.

A Centre Cannot Hold
Jason Hendrik Hansma
Published by Memphis, Linz, 2020, card, 10.3 × 14.5 cm, English
Price: €1

Invitation card produced on the occasion of Jason Hendrik Hansma’s exhibition A Centre Cannot Hold at Memphis, Linz, 22 July–17 September, 2020.

“Stretched across a white-walled room with grey concrete floors, a chiffon curtain billows from the wind of an open window. Past the window, leaves on a tree flutter in the wind. The curtain stretches from the ceiling to the floor and across the length of the room. Underneath the curtain, is a small, reflective strip on the tiled floor. The sun from the window and from a path leading to another room lights the space and the curtain.”
