WILLIAM ANTHONY

ON ARTSTAMP. DK GUEST

Artstamp.dk is proudly to announce eight new Artstamps.dk by the New York-based artist William Anthony (b.1934)

For more than 45 years William Anthony has twisted and turned the conventions, clichés of and preconceptions about the world of images. It is clearly seen through iconography that it is pop. But it is also sub - Pop Art subconscious. A machine which displaces and distorts images.

New York Times describes Anthony as “A cult figure” and his work as “hilarious and profound”.

Quotes “I can’t wait for the New Testament. His is the first Bible I could Understand” Andy Warholl for Anthony´s 1978 book BIBLE STORIES.

And from Laurie Anderson “…delightfully satiric drawings… a precocious enfant terrible…”

His work is today in the Collection of Museum of Modern Art, Metropolitan Museum of Art, Whitney Museum of American Art, Brooklyn Museum, Art Institute of Chicago , Ludwig Museum among others.

Over the last two decades, William Anthony has exhibited several times in Denmark through Stalke Gallery and since 2008 also produced art stamps through Artstamp.dk

William Anthony has titled his new Art stamps as Miss Lichtenstein Smiles Through Her Tears, Picasso Couple, Baby Doll, Very Small Unidentified Non-Flying Object, A Friendly Face and simply Soup.

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?

FRITHIOFF JOHANSEN

Aknowledging, as he does, his debt to the age-old traditions of art, Frithioff Johansen still works with the classic materials used in painting, sculpture and graphic art. His own inherent curiosity has, nonetheless, taken him a long way, in terms of trying out new forms of impressions. Science and technology have provided one of the main sources of his inspiration for his work for many years.
Johansen has won international renown for his work with lasers and holograms. His magnum opus to date is probably the laser sculpture "Chaos Temple" which has become something of a symbol for the town of Holstebro. Other major works include the tower sculpture "Sfirot" in the town hall square in Billund, "A Kind of Entropy" at the Flakkebjerg Research Institute, "The Virtual 'A'" in Kolding and the light sculpture "VD" in Skanderborg. All these works include moderne technological tools such as computer work, lasers, holograms, fibre optics and LED light.

This stamp is inspired by recursivity. In a Dutch university's mathematical class you may be entertained by the metaphorical concept "The Droste effect". It refers to cocoa packing with a picture of a nurse with a tray with a cocoa packing with a nurse etc. In Denmark we are tought "The Ota Solgryn effect" by former professor Flemming Topsoe , who used an old oatmeal packing showing a running boy carrying an oatmeal packing with a picture of a boy etc. Have a look at: http://www.frit-johan.dk/ota_movie.html

Well - here we have a stamp with a picture of a stamp with a picture of … etc.

Thorgej Steen Hansen on Artstamp.dk Guest

(DK)

Thorgej Steen Hansen lives and works in Copenhagen, Denmark. He graduated from The Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts in 2004 and has shown his work in both Denmark and abroad.

The two stamp series (Untitled / standard form) Thorgej Steen Hansen have done for Artstamp.dk – Guest is the latest manifestation of an ongoing series of works in which he stages the same pattern, the same standard form, in multiple ways.

The standard form is produced and presented in various sizes, materials, and medias:

The standard form can be shown as a single unit in the form of a drawing or a painting - or in some other form - but most often, as it is the case with the artstamps in question, it is presented in various series of different color combinations.

The standard form is also used as building blocks in more elaborated installations. And as split seconds of stills in continuous flows of ever changing color combinations in short animated films shown in loops.

The standard form was designed for the first time in 2007 as an element to be used among others in a large decortion assignment which Thorgej Steen Hansen completed together with the artist group Zedamator for the Rhythmic Music Conservatory in Copenhagen in 2008.

The standard form has since then been used by Thorgej as a significant part in both solo and group shows.

The Stamps is released 4.5.2011, and can be acquired on Artstamps Website

Kristian von Hornsleth on ARTSTAMP.DK GUEST

Artstamp.dk announce new artstamps by Kristian von Hornsleth, HORNSLETH portrait in five colours.

Who is Kristian von Hornsleth?

by Wolf-Günter Thiel, art historian and publisher, Berlin

There seems to be at least two contradicting approaches in the work of Hornsleth. Firstly his confrontational navigation through contemporary culture built on his own philosophy which he calls Futilism, making one capable of using futility as such in a most constructive way. Secondly his manic insisting of developing a symbolic representation of his own name, ‘Hornsleth’, emblazoned across countless works he's produced that now reach out all over Denmark and around the world. The word is ‘Hornsleth’, questioning the beauty of manipulation in an often countercultural manner and further questioning if the publicity in itself is more important than the products it endorses, now spreading from branding Lamborghini's to sculptures, provocative photographs, and people themselves. Where does all this leave the contemporary person?  The Hornsleth Village Project Uganda saw every individual in a village change their name to Hornsleth, in a simple exchange for a pig or a goat, and outrage ensued. Headlines spread across the world, and questions about ethics arose, but you didn't hear the villagers complain? Or should we say the Hornsleths? The Hornsleth Arms Investment Corporation drives questions home about the accepted face of capitalism, and the nature of human relations to safety versus cruelty and how commerce can spread the dilemma. Once the message is seen, it's not forgotten. The Hornsleth Deep Storage Project, is energizing a clarion call to mankind to try and save itself from itself, and utilizing art in a way that offers a potential chance to fight for the future of our species from today.

Opening Saturday, March 26th from 1 pm to 5 pm

Stalke Gallery is pleased to announce the exhibition 09-11 is a survey into Nikolaj Recke’s photo works for the past two years, often is Nikolaj Recke's photographic work a further elaboration of ideas which have first been tested in videos and installations. The motifs in Nikolaj Recke’s photos are recognizable spaces, such as landscapes and night skies, but with a twist of aesthetic involving self-irony, political consciousness and a romantic feeling for beauty.

Nikolaj Recke’s works are an extension of 1990s rediscovery of Conceptual art. Unlike our usual perception of conceptual art, Nikolaj Recke ́s conceptual art is not just a question of what art is, rather, it is a question of whether or not art can be used, but to investigate whether art can be used to ask questions to the world with all the uncertainties and perspectives that it involves. The exhibition presenting a view both his current work as well as his previous achievement. And there is a suggestion of what his future endeavors will be.

The earliest two--the gold goose eggshell and the birds mating on a Zen Archer`s target are from my 1969 installation titled Plain Air. Live birds were given free reign of the studio. A target was placed on the floor below a bicycle wheel hung as a perch. Zen Archer`s find a bullseye irrelevant. Canvas nests were added when the piece was recreated--at Sandra Gering Gallery, New York, 1989, The Mattress Factory, Pittsburgh, 1990 and PS 1 Contemporary Art in New York, 1991. The egg that was hatched in the original installation prompted the casting of the two halves of an eggshell in bronze. In the 80s silver and gold casts were made, each time breaking a new egg. The work`s title Series, Nothing nods to Zen`s `success is dust.` In 2000 the first goose egg shell cast in gold ecchoes the ancient tale about the goose laying the golden egg,

2 √ 0 [waterclock and level], is a 1971 sculpture originally designed as an invention to function vertically as a clock, horizontally as a level. Left uncalibrated it failed as a scientific instrument, but in time became a work resisting the assumption that space and time are measurable. The title is a nonsense mathematical formula also drawing attention to the futility of definitions.

You Skull See is a self-portrait in a mirror. The title is from Finnegans Wake.

For Herself in the Element, the body elements are tattoed on a woman`s back in descending proportion by weight. Oxygen, represented by the letter "O"on the periodic table, circles her neck. The title is also from Finnegans Wake.

Barbara Husar
Barbara Husar´s work is focusing on the flow of information. She owns a flock of goats in the desert of Sinai and uses the umbilical cords of the newborns as medium for her ongoing process Data Exchange. Far away from binary realms she is collecting information strings of life. http://data-exchange.tk/

The concept of artstamp, to let selected informations travel all over on analog tracks and in unexpected non-intimity was inspiring Barbara Husar for feeding this organism with her cosmic access. Sharing art with everybody between sender and receiver.

The Austrian artist (1975) is working with many medias from filmmaking to installations. Basis is always pure drawing. The way to her transmedia-based concepts starts here.

Awardwinning Barbara Husar already had numerous international exhibitions
and is well known for her extraordinary interactions with reality.
