Title: SAVE
Edition 1100
Artstamp.dk was established in 2007, as an alternative mail art project in relation to more traditional works of art. With Artstamp.dk I wish to both challenge the classical stamp and the frames for the concept of art.

Thomas Bang
TOPOGRAPHICAL REFLECTIONS
The lozenge shape, which is dominant in the drawings, “Topographical reflections”, appearing on the stamps, emerged initially in Thomas Bang’s drawings from the mid-sixties. Since that time the lozenge image has occasionally re-appeared, primarily in sculpture- and installation contexts and generating various references.
As a result of one of Bang’s recent interests: Egyptian Funerary Portraits from the Roman Period, this image once again crops up in his work. The entire shape of these portrait paintings is roughly that of a lozenge. Bang’s interest focuses on the appearance of the realistic painting style of the mummy portraits (1st and 2nd century AD) as entirely isolated and incongruous images forced upon the context of images of a long standing Egyptian burial tradition.
This severe disruption of context and the near disintegration of image over time which many of the portraits suffered, served as the initial point of departure for this series of drawings appearing on the stamps. The conditions of incongruity and breakdown of image found in these portraits relate to Thomas Bang’s long standing interest in contexts of a provisional and fragile nature.
The distribution of components in the drawings relates to the location and activity of elements in the installation entitled “Seven attempts to create adequate apparatus for ordinary families. Attempt No. 1”, 2008, which is in the collection of Statens Museum for Kunst, Copenhagen.

SMIKE KÄSZNER
When death pays us a visit – that is the theme of Smike Käszner’s stamps. They are selected from a series of 10 drawings (ink/watercolour), inspired by Holbein the younger’s Death of Dance series. Hence the titles of these four stamps; Der Tod besucht den Künstler, Der Tod besucht den Einsamer, Der Tod besucht den Gläubiger and Der Tod besucht die Hoffnung.
A reoccurring theme in Smike’s work is that of memento mori. Remember time is limited. And the only way to get more time is at the expense of space. In Smike’s mind time can be expanded if space is limited and vice versa. How much experiences can be put into a life – while still keeping a balance between time and space?
In this context Smike views himself more as an explorer rather than as an inventor. The role of the artist here is to map unknown territories and thereby witness and document alternative ways to fulfill the role of a contemporary human. How do we come yet closer to the question, of what we at the end of the day will regret we didn’t do?
Smike fans out his questions to involve events, graphic work, paintings, writing and video – the latter for example in the work done together with video artist Jan Krogsgaard, where the work consisted of 101 interviews with very old people, answering just one question: What here in life did you regret the most that you didn’t do?
