sweeter and lower contains some of the remnants of untitled (sweet and low), a work presented during appendage, Iris Touliatou’s solo exhibition at Grazer Kunstverein in 2022. untitled (sweet and low) was the result of having transformed the old, left-over stationery of the Grazer Kunstverein— half white / half red—into a pink pulp, which then was scattered over the floors of the building. By shredding the stationery with a blender, a pink fluff emerged from the transactional paper that in a former life used to transmit official communication, invoices, announcements, etc. sweeter and lower gathers fragments of that action and compresses them into a plexiglass box. Contained and preserved, the left-overs of what once was whole meet again and are turned into a vivid chromatic picture in hues of pink.

*The editions are available to the members of Grazer Kunstverein. It is possible to become a member when purchasing an edition.
