24 March – 28 April 2007

Issued for Pierre Bismuth’s 2007 New York exhibition One Size Fits All, presented across Mary Boone Gallery’s Fifth Avenue and Chelsea spaces in conjunction with Team Gallery — described as Bismuth’s first solo exhibition in the United States.

This invitation is especially strong as a graphic object: a square folded format opening into a 54 cm horizontal strip, with near-blank red and green monochrome panels functioning almost like portable exhibition walls. The design turns gallery information into colour, spacing, and institutional placement. The typographic interior — with its title shifting mid-word between uppercase and lowercase — enacts the same logic as Bismuth’s practice: systems of recognition made slightly unstable.

Bismuth’s practice works through appropriation, displacement, cinema, authorship, and systems of cultural recognition. He is also known for his conceptual contribution to Michel Gondry’s Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind (2004), for which he shared the Academy Award for Best Original Screenplay.

Condition: Good vintage condition. Light surface rubbing, minor handling marks, softened corners consistent with period gallery ephemera.

Shipping and handling included.
