Paris: Marian Goodman, 2015 15 x 21cm, 2pp announcement card in the form of a lenticular printed card. During a visit to his studio Christian Boltanski told me that he was dying and I didn't believe him. Two years later he was in hospital with an unannounced illness and never escaped the room. This card which should really be seen as an object multiple has the words Arrive and Depart on it depending on how you look at it. This was also done as a neon work and p[art of a series of works defining irth and death. VG+. Scarce....

Iona: Iona Craft Shop, 2015
21 x 15cm, letterpress and foil stamping on thick white card, 2pp. Bellingham was commissioned by the Iona Craft Shop to create a new work and he made various scale models of the planets out of bronze and buried them in a remote field on the island of Iona. Each was buried a relative distance from the surface as their average orbits are from the sun. There is no overground record other than the map on the back of this card that shows where the works are - and even that map only shows the outline of the field. Jupiter was the size of an orange and Pluto (hmmm - a planet?) the size of a pea. Mercury is four inches from ground level and Neptune is found nine feet deep.
There are two cards - one on white, the other on brown, this is the former..
"There is nothing to see, just a story to tell about a buried solar system that mimics the one about our heads."
