Yvon Lambert to close

Sad news:

"Yvon Lambert has announced that he will close his gallery, which he first opened in 1966 on rue de L’Échaudé in Paris with exhibitions that promoted early Conceptual and Minimalist work by artists including Carl Andre and Lawrence Weiner. In 1977, Lambert opened a larger space in the Marais district, showing work by artists like Joseph Beuys, Louise Lawler, and Allan McCollum, before moving to his present space on rue Vieille du Temple in 1986, where he worked with Nan Goldin, Joan Jonas, Jenny Holzer, and Glenn Ligon among others. In 2003, he opened a gallery in New York, which closed in 2011. The dealer plans to devote his attention to his foundation, the Collection Lambert en Avignon, which he opened in 2000 to showcase his privately owned artwork, which includes more than 1200 pieces by contemporary artists."

Daniel Buren | A Partir De Là

Daniel Buren
A Partir De Là 
Mönchengladbach, Germany: Städtisches Museum, 1975
[unpaginated], 20.5 × 16 cm., boxed
Edition of 660

For his solo exhibition at the Stadtisches Museum in late 1975, Buren researched the eight-year history of venue, dating from its opening on the former premises of a large private house in 1967. The artist applied material (white-and-blue stripes on the ground floor, white and red on the 2nd floor, white and brown on the staircase) directly to the walls. Buren then selected paintings from the museum's previous exhibitions and cut a section to scale from the material, exposing the bare wall behind. With the assistance of gallery director and curator Johannes Cladders, and photographic documentation, Buren was able to distinguish a consistent installation approach, deriving a composite pattern of rectangular voids.

The work represents one of Buren's many investigations into the conventions, framework and support of exhibiting artworks using his signature vertical stripe patterns.

The catalogue/artists' publication consists of two booklets and one loose sheet in a yellow card box. The contents includes maps and installation shots, with texts in both German and French. The loose sheet is printed with the show title, location and dates, and is numbered on the verso.

MOREpublishers is a Brussels based editorial and curatorial platform, founded in November 2009 by Amélie Laplanche and Tim Rychaert. The aim is to produce and distribute artists editions and multiples, combining this practice with a curatorial approach.

This curatorial insight is transaled in both the development of standard production formats where in artists are invited to intervene, as well as into precise (production based) answers to invitations to exhibitions and site specific projects.

MOREpublishers has a close interest in the idea to consider edition-formats as a space with its own architectural qualities and characteristics. This interest is to be found in in the development of different formats. Thus far, MOREpublishers has developed four different series : ‘sunday’, ‘hors série’, ‘INSERTS’ and ‘exhibition copy’.

Daniel Buren for Illy

The last of the boxes, for now. Future posts will include Brecht's classic Wateryam, Filliou's Ample Food for Stupid Thought, and the box that started it all, Duchamp's Boite en Valise.
