Exhibition summary
The exhibition 'Editionen' presents four distinct showcases exploring the concept of art editions, multiples, and artist books. It examines their role in democratizing the art market and creating public engagement, featuring positions closely aligned with the Secession's program.
Curatorial context
The exhibition 'Editionen' delves into the critical questions surrounding originality, the public sphere, and the art market's inherent commercial relationships, particularly as they pertain to multiples, artist books, and limited editions. This four-part series aims to showcase positions that have a close connection to the Secession's own programming, utilizing the 'edition' format as a tool for both democratizing the art market and forging distinct public spheres. The invited positions are presented in a rotating two-week cycle within the Secession's Graphic Cabinet.
The exhibition features works by General Idea, known for their early use of multiples to subvert notions of artistic genius and satirize the art market. Pork Salad Press contributes with their current newspaper project 'Old News,' where artists select and recompile relevant news items. The edition 'En/Of,' initiated by Robert Meijer, creates a dialogue between musicians and conceptual artists through vinyl LPs and accompanying artworks. Lastly, Edition Artelier, celebrating 20 years, presents works developed with a focus on the logical and consistent use of technique, featuring artist Michael Schuster for this presentation.
