  My gift to you will be an abyss, she said,
  but it will be so subtle you’ll perceive it
  only after many years have passed
  and you are far from Mexico and me.
  You’ll find it when you need it most,
  and that won’t be
  the happy ending,
  but it will be an instant of emptiness and joy.
  And maybe then you’ll remember me,
  if only just a little.

  The Mouse Museum / The Ray Gun Wing: Two Collections/Two Museums by Claes Oldenburg, Museum of Contemporary Art, Chicago, 1978
  
  
  

  In Oldenburg’s words, “the Ray Gun stands for vision, the power of ‘seeing through walls,’ i.e. the artist’s supposed capacity to discover reality.

  Raw Color: Tinctorial Textiles, a commission by Van Eijk & Van der Lubbe for the ABN Amro bank office in Eindhoven. 13 semi-translucent wool curtain panels dyed with natural dyes.

  The term tinctorial relates to most organic dyeing agents categorized by the term in their latin name. The dyes used in this project derive from three plants, madder root – ‘Rubia tinctorum’ for the reddish hues, woad – ‘Isatis tinctoria’ for the blueish hues and reseda – ‘Reseda luteola’ for the yellowish hues. All agents are purely applied in different concentrations to achieve more or less saturation. New shades are created by over-dyeing the fabric with two agents resulting in greens, purples and oranges.
