Appropriation artists: Johannes Regin, Jonathan Monk, Michalis Pichler, Pierre-Olivier Arnaud, and Roisin Byrne In an art critical context, it does not make sense to seek a lineage in what we categorize as “appropriation art” that predates Marcel Duchamp’s readymade gesture. Dating here is an issue, as it’s not possible to see this gesture as having been understood prior to Duchamp’s Pasadena show in 1963. But dating aside, there is no need for confusion, for it is possible to be very clear: appropriation is not simply the borrowing of a style.

Inscience
An autobiographical work recounting everything you can remember learning,
composed exclusively from the words you do not know (there are probably about
200,000 for a college-educated English speaker). Articles and prepositions exempted.

The beginning of the system of lies (J'ai le mouvement qui déplace les lignes) Michalis Pichler (deutsche Version unten) The beginning of the system of lies (J'ai le mouvement qui déplace les lignes) 03/01/2012 – 03/25/2012 „It appears to me, that the signature of the author, be it an artist, cineast or poet, is the beginning of the system of lies, that all artists try to establish to defend themselves, I do not know exactly against what.“ Marcel Broodthaers The web of lies around the signature of the artist starts out in the streets of the fourth district. Posters spread like satellites on crucial street corners (Wiedner Hauptstrasse, Schleifmühlgasse, Kettenbrückengasse, Naschmarkt…). This web of references is typical for all of Pichlers work. The signature is the questionable “sign” (Markenzeichen) of the individual. The artist’s signature even has a direct relation the a material value. Somehow similar to the trade markes of clothes, cars and jewellery who dominate the public space. This is the virulent starting point for Pichler’s ironic play with signature and authorship, its blurring and erasing. The film „Une séconde d’éternité“ is reduced from 24 to 18 frames per second by transferring it from 35 mm film to Super-8. The original piece by the Belgian concept artist Marcel Broodthaers shows his initials. M.B. The 18th frame finishest he line only for M.P. Leaving out a line changes the authorship. Much like the piece after Richter, that originally was signed “ichter”. Without the t–line the signature says “ichler”, like in “Pichler”.
