André Morlain, Amenoffice boxes, 1969-70
Three styrofoam icecream boxes filled with various objects, 20 x 11 x 7 cm, named Amenoffice 1, 2 and 3. All signed by André Morlain, founder of the Belgian artist periodical Amenophis published in Bruxelles/Paris between 1968 and 1985. The title of the works seems to suggest these were objects assembled at the magazine's headquarters.
Box 1 contains an empty packet of Gauloise cigarettes and a flyer for an exhibition on Small Press publishers at 't Venster in Rotterdam in 1970 (Amenophis was amongst the participants). Box 2 features screws, plastic lids and cigarette ash. Box 3 is penetrated by several screws. Boxes show usual aging
