Arthur Rimbaud in New York, one of David Wojnarowicz’s incursions into photography, is the articulation of a testimony to urban, social and political change in New York.

Wojnarowicz, using the figure of the accursed poet as the only way for an artist to intervene in reality, chronicles his own life and his emotional relationship with New York City in the late 1970s. The artist portrays a number of friends with a life-size mask of the French poet Arthur Rimbaud, thereby taking on his identity and highlighting the parallels in their lives: the violence suffered in their youths, the feeling of being denied freedom, the desire to live far away from the bourgeois environment and the fact of their homosexuality.

Produced on the occasion of the exhibition Investigations 1988 at the Institute of Contemporary Art, Philadelphia.

It isn’t just in her photographic work that Lawler explores art’s economic regime down to its smallest, seemingly banal details. She also continues to produce ephemera including matchbooks, gift certificates, postcards, posters, and souvenirs such as drinking glasses or paperweights. Invoking her signature, subtle humour, she underscores how the art apparatus relies on a loose network of advertising materials and other articles that help determine how an artwork is recognized and valued.

Invitation card produced on the occasion of the exhibition Bas Jan Ader (1942–1975) at Art & Project, Amsterdam, 29 January–23 February, 1985.

Bas Jan Ader was a Dutch conceptual and performance artist known for works exploring failure, loneliness, and the sublime, famously disappearing at sea in 1975 while attempting a transatlantic voyage as the final part of his trilogy, In Search of the Miraculous. His art, often using photography and film, featured self-performances of falling or emotional distress, linking life and art as metaphorical journeys, culminating in his mysterious final act of becoming part of his art.

Produced on the occasion of Ian Wilson’s Discussion at Van Abbemuseum, Eindhoven, 1 March, 2009.

Ian Wilson presented spoken language as his artistic medium, liberating art from its material form and opening it up to the unpredictability of verbal exchange. Through his Discussions, he engaged individuals in private and public conversations about verbal communication. Wilson views speech as dematerialized sculpture, believing that words enable one to “have the essential features of the object at your disposal.”
