superselect: kateoplis: Jan van Toorn, Van Abbemuseum, 1971 Although this poster is a museum exhibition promotion, it’s also a bold critique. It manages to disclose the banalities of both the art market and of accepted visual communication processes. The work represents Van Toorn’s career-long concern with reclaiming the media as a channel of communication, from its modern role of mere distribution, or worse, of obfuscation and deception.
