Kelly 1:1. A Cover Version by Experimental Jetset.

(The Netherlands): Casco Editions, 2002.  First edition.  Quarto.  29.5cm by 21.25cm.  Unpaginated. Cool publication issued to accompany the exhibition Casco Projects, where Experimental Jetset (collaboration of graphic designers Erwin Brinkers, Marieke Stolk and Danny van den Dungen) to remake Ellsworth Kelly’s painting Blue, Green, Yellow, Orange, Red (1966). Experimental Jetset’s interpretation is a faithful reproduction (scale 1:1) of the original, a “light” version that is made up of printed sheets of A4 paper that – collated – form the cover version of the painting which measures 6 by 1,5 meters. This catalogue consists of the same 150 A4-sized pages, bound as a paperback publication. In other words, the publication is a scale 1:1 version of the work on the wall. And since the title (Kelly 1:1) exactly describes the work, all the three elements (work, title and catalogue) can be seen as scale 1:1 models of each other.  Thus the publication functions both as the catalogue to the exhibition, as well as a bound version of the presentation.  A very good copy in white wrappers printed in black and silver.  Published in an edition of just 250 copies, and now scarce.
