| Under
a wooden sign sporting the words "The Textiles Co-Operative Society", hang
four lengths of cloth in different sizes and colours, one over the other.
... The painted sign above the lengths of cloth doubles as a trading sign
and the title of this conceptual piece of work. ... The picture object not
only rescinds the later distinction of "applied" an "fine" art, but also,
in the inscription, tells the source of these materials out of a co-operating
society in which artistic and social production are inseparably alloyed. Kolja Kohlhoff, Berlin 1999 |
