2000 “ПРЕЙЪР- PROJECT IN PUBLIC SPACE” NEWSPAPERS AS AN INSERT OF THE JUNE ISSUE OF VICE MAGAZINE
by David Bogner/ Editor-in-Chief / Vice Alps:
“… An und für sich würde das ja schon reichen, aber Anna Ceeh und Iv Toshain haben dieses Mal einigen Ausgaben noch ein Kunstprojekt beigelegt, deren Mittelseite schon ganz im Sinne vom guten alten Playboy (oder Bravo) an unserer Bürowand hängt. Das ganze kann man mit den Worten von Kurt Kladler so sagen:
In this manner, further strategies are added to the FUCKi̶s̶m̶ artistic practice (outside of the “white cube,” and beyond art-crowd territory), camouflaged as merchandising. A „poster“ is displayed in the space of pictures and signs that this publication is a magazine, surely reminding many of the time when the word “poster” first became something with meaning to them, i.e. their first art magazine centerfold that addressed the social and political concerns of a young audience. Mimetically adapting the pop icon rhetoric of representation, Iv Toshain and Anna Ceeh subversively propagate an attitude towards life that is marked by multiple models of identification from the worlds of art, politics, pop, sex, and fashion as well as by a vital awareness of what it takes to create presence.”
