Tulip Enterprises' "Ceramixed Plates" Available at the New Museum Store

  

Summary: Tulip Enterprises' "Ceramixed Plates" are available at the New Museum Store, New York. The New Museum attracts attention with its spectacular new building in Downtown New York.

On December 1, 2007, the new building for the New Museum of Contemporary Art was opened, coinciding with its 30th anniversary. The daring and highly recognizable structure, designed by Japanese architects Sejima & Nishizawa (SANAA), symbolizes and reaffirms the leading role the New Museum plays in its field.

The New Museum Store stocks finest giftables, (artist) editions and books from around the world. Its proceeds go directly to furthering the New Museum's artistic and educational programs, which will be greatly enlarged in its new building.

Apart from presenting books and editions by noted artists like Jeff Koons, Jack Pierson and Zoe Leonard, the New Museum Store stays true to the New Museum's credo of presenting the under-represented: in its range of "artist-made products" it treads where few museum shops dare to tread, directly supporting emerging artists. Two of those, Dutch artists in Berlin, Hans Booy & Paulus Fugers are proud that two of their "Ceramixed Plates" are part of this offering. Their faux Delfts Blauw porcelain plates, hand-painted and inscribed with "Include Me Out", thematize social (self)exclusion, sexuality and multiculturalism. They are available (for now) at only 94 USD each.

The New Museum was founded in 1977 by curator Marcia Tucker. Today it is the most important museum for contemporary art in New York, with an excellent world-wide reputation for curatorial daring and progressiveness. It stresses and exemplifies the internationality of art, and focusses on emerging artists and under-represented themes, media and developments.

Tulip Enterprises is a Berlin art collective working with a Pop-art philosophy. It consists of Hans Booy & Paulus Fugers who collaborate on art production, murals, self-organized art shows and art presentations in public and in galleries, clubs and deserted buildings. They work in a wide range of techniques, from Kinetic Art and projections to Folk Art, installation, painting and collage. The Staatsgalerie Stuttgart owns a major billboard painting. Recent books like Flyer Soziotope and Mein Schwules Auge IV feature their work.
