[2010.flux4.098] Twenty-Six New York Bathrooms - Eliz (Elizabeth Beckmann) (USA)
small plastic cases containing smaller plastic boxes, photographs.
Donated by the artist, received by mail 2010.

Artist Statement: Inspired by Peter Greenway's documentary Twenty-Six Bathrooms, represents various bathrooms, both public and private from New York City. As part of a photo-sculpture series, they redirect the high aesthetics of photography as an art form into a plaything. By Fixing photographs within handling-objects as opposed to wall bound frames. I create a personal, boundless relationship between viewer and object, not to mention a new format of porta-potties. The photo-objects are great fun for me as well because the structure of the box determines the composition.
The internal grid construction of the small cases defines the size, shape and rythmn of the photo compositions. The trasparent quality of the boxes when viewed from different arrangements of the sculpture, (closed, open, front, back, placement of the smaller boxes without or within the sculpture, etc.), performs like a silent cinematic experience: a sequence of close-ups, long shots and panoramic shots. The viewer may rearrange the piece inside and out, exploring the multi-faceted aspects of a bathroom, art object and plaything. Thus, the conventional notions of one's relationship to the artist, who usually determines the end construction of a non-ephemeral work, dissolve like urine in a toilet bowl.
Therefore, by investigating the snapshot itself and what can be done with it as opposed to manipulating the images in the darkroom or in photoshop or controlling the outcome of the picture by the use of lenses, filters, etc., (I used a small disposable black and white camera), I am confined to the valuable study of the subject and not the mechanism of photographing. My process refuses traditional techniques and compositions of sculpture and photography. Each sculptural composition is a mere collection of rectangular pieces of paper that represent a New York bathroom. They are cut and pasted pictures of mundane subjects: toilets, plumbing, toilet paper, floors, etc., which become abstract or surreal images. The Twenty-Six New York Bathrooms divorce themselves from conventional notions of bathrooms, photography and sculpture.

Come back at a later time.

In one shot, take all the items saved-out, the entire collection, and as quickly as possible slap them together into compositions that follow a numerical rule only.

Keep the rule simple, say 2 or 3 items per individual composition.

Once the number rule is made, stick to it.

As you assemble the items, use whatever means available to adhere them together.

Go as fast as you can, think as little as possible; and do not stop until all the items collected, are used up.

When there are no more items to adhere, you are done.

Sign each composition, date and number 1/4, 2/4, 3/4, etc..

16x10 inches - materials: chopsticks, black metal wire, silver metal wire, glass and silver beads, chain, bone dice beads,small green glass bottle, black feathers, book board cut from recycled books, propeller from a fan, printed pictures of drawing by the artist.

Notes: This is a mask and is used as an aid in inspiration, in terms of, decision making and game ploy tactics. It shows the illusion of the gambit, as for the ruse that it is and ensures fair play. When wearing this mask, the answers will just leap out to you and be as obvious as day! No cleaver strategem or tricks will ever get past you again.
To Use: Smell the scent in the gree bottle, then hold handle in right hand (as shown with eyes looking out and nose lined up with the center point of the propeller) and you must them believe, without a shaddow of a doubt, that it will work for you. It will amaze you and your friends.

[063] The Family Secret - Maureen Bachaus - USA
http://www.maureenbachaus.com/
2010 12x10x6 cm, wood, fabric, glass, photograph
The Family Secret contains a story. The artwork is a puzzle that needs to be solved. The symbols used are leading you to the truth. The visitors of the museum, and the people who buy the catalog may try to figure out what the secret is. They can send their story to the museum or write their story in the displayed sketchbook. So a number of these stories will - if possible - be exhibited in the museum and - if possible - be published in the catalog. The Family Secret is a true story, Maureen Bachaus always works with real stories of real people.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR DISPLAY
The Family Secret can be displayed hanging on the wall (box open), with the instructions beside it. It can also be displayed standing (also with box open) like a little sculpture, with the text hanging near it. A book or collage with different stories (letters or hand written notes or emails) from different people can also be a part of the display... eventually.

I would like to ask everyone who works in the museum to write their version of the Family Secret to give the visitors an example.

JIGSAW PARCEL - Jorge Artajo - Spain

(The following text is included on the surface of the wrapped parcel along with several addresses of friends) :

Please Mr Postman,

This parcel contains a precious object Yoko Ono sent me sometime ago that I would like to share with some of the people I love, but I'm unable to decide with whom. Could you please help me by picking one of these addresses at random and deliver to it?

Thank you.

TRANSFIGURATION GAME – TRANSFORMER #5: GEOFF HENDRICKS as Sky Shaver

I want to pass this Sky Brush Shaver from Amador Sola (1920 somewhere in the South of Spain – 2005 Olesa de Montserrat, Spain) to Geoff Hendricks (1931 Littletown, New Hampshire USA- Present)

Amador Sola used this shaver brush every day during the three years he was interned in a Franco’s labour camp after Spanish civil war (1936-1939). He wanted to be nice and clean because he always had in mind that “that“ day could be the one of his liberation. That shaver brush was a means for freedom. Years ago Geoff Hendricks he also did an act of liberation by shaving all the hair on his body. This Sky Shaver Brush its a symbol of their connection to me.

COLOURED CHESS-SET - Jorge Artajo - Spain

This is a Piece inspired by Yoko Ono’s "White Chess-Set"

The basis is the same, but where Yoko says "Play It by Trust", I add "Yes, Play It by Trust and Joy". We should have always in mind that respect is the best way to end with our fears and enjoy the others. Although the differences, we are not as different as we are told. We all are in the same game, despite our anger or hate. We all have the choice of transforming life in a game of love and togetherness, or in a game of death and rejection.

When I was a child, about 10, I used to hate playing chess, because one of my brothers, who was 5 years older than me, used it to humiliate me. He always won, of course, and he had that feeling of being stronger and cleverer than me, and he would show off treating me like an inferior and insulting me. That, raised a lot of resentment in me towards him, but when I was alone, I used to find something fascinating in that black and white cardboard and all those different pieces, so I enjoyed very much playing chess alone, with my own rules. The cardboard could become a hug golden room, a palace, a desert, a country, a planet, or a universe and there were lots of love and war stories over there, but there were always happy endings with balls and parties where the pieces got to know to each other, dancing and talking.

So with all this in mind, I made this Colored Chess-Set, as a way of add a layer to Yoko's piece. Maybe if I have had this kind of chess set when I was 10, my older brother and I wouldn’t have stopped talking to each other when grown ups.

[041] Trumped - Janine Nichols - USA
2010 - 20x20 inches - Altered Game Board - image transfers on discarded game board.
http://jazzpaperscissors.blogspot.com

A little background: I can't stand the man, Trump. I can't stand that he thinks for so much as a moment that he has or will ever have a place in the history of American architecture.

I found a discarded gameboard for Trump: The Game right where it belonged: in the recycling area of my apartment building. I'd been thinking about making something to submit to the next Fluxus Fluxhibition in Ft. Worth, focused on toys and games. When I saw this I thought about the full-page ad I'd just seen in the NYTimes promoting the new Palladio show at the Morgan Library. Mercifully, the gameboard didn't sport D. Trumps' porcine visage anywhere , so I made a transfer of Palladio's engraved portrait and placed him at center. I then circled him with portraits culled from old museum catalogs. I thought of them (loosely) as his patrons, muses, cronies, disciples, builders.

I left two "For Sale" signs untouched. Those are Trump's.
