The show draws from the rich Fluxus tradition of the multiple and is also a nod to Shannon Michael Cane who helped champion the multiple for new generations through his work at Printed Matter and the NY Art Book Fair. A Matter Of Printing (for SMC) is a journey into the process and exercise of developing the concept of multiples as a democratic element of distribution of the work of art. With this approach the attempt to elaborate a political challenge through the strong and, somehow, limited possibilities of the unique artwork is placed. The multiple naturally comes as a possibility for a different way of communicating, often used in the past as a carrier of new ideas and often subversive or humorous intent.
The core of the exhibition are multiples published by the Edizioni Francesco Conz, a project the Italian collector – a mysterious impresario who strongly supported the artists of his time and that died in 2010 – started in the 70’s and continued until the 2000s. The Edizioni Conz will share the space with some of our favorite living artists and poets.
The exhibition will open on the 23rd of March at Supportico Lopez in Kurfürstenstrasse 14b. During the weekend of 27-29 of April, the exhibition will have a public program, Mass X, curated by The Performance Agency in the gallery’s courtyard.
“… I had no pleasure in collecting ‘rich stuff’, already packed. I was looking for a more refined answer to my approach to art and the creative process behind it…”

Supportico Lopez is happy to announce Daniele Milvio’s first solo exhibition with the gallery.
Dear Stefania and Gigiotto,
Don’t let the length of my e-mail scare you; these are both very relevant points and it means it a lot to me to be able to explain my thought process regarding our exhibition “Brache”.
The extreme difficulty in reading the texts – those texts that were written paying specific attention to the composition and balance of painting and not of calligraphy – it is a point that in this case poses itself wholly, and not in the relationship with the German public, given that the texts are mostly comprehensible only to myself, my sister, an old and elderly high school professor of mine and to the psychiatrist with an expertise in self-hypnosis BS.
My writing became voluntarily almost illegible to others from very early on, for reasons that primarily have something to do with the incredibly powerful sense of shame that can overcome he who is in disagreement with his own age.
I therefore think that I can say without seeming unconcerned that the Italian language is the most minor of obstacles to whoever wishes to read the content of the papers; reading is not the objective of the assortment, I am scanning all of the papers, in order to, one day, propose an anastatic print enriched by transcriptions and translations, but today is not that day.
I am not able to make predictions on the marketable or non marketable nature of the panels, as I have never understood how shared preferences, which I have remarked in the few years of my work, are formed. I can only state that an auric rectangle of 125/77 is a magnificent form, that the colours that I will use are the world’s most beautiful colours – it is not a hyperbole – and that the volume of documents that I will nail on the panels will have the form of the most complete confession that I can make, and that will likely ever make.
I would like to specify the heterogeneity of the material that will be nailed:
Recent papers utilising the automatic writing method
Recent papers written while clearheaded
Recent drawings
Drawings I did when I was a teenager
Illustrated homework
Pages from a school agenda
Notes
A curse
Calculations
Copies
Fines
Complaints
Reflections
A few copies of etchings by Kathe Kollwitz I did as a teenager
An etching done as a teenager from a portrait of Gudrun Ensslin
Drawings made between the ages of 12 and 20
Greeting cards
Receipts
Etcetera
Attached are some examples.
I was thinking of the wall that delimits the alcove where my painting was hung on the occasion of the group show Carpet for a Lord.We could hang the 28 portraits on this wall.
This could also provide works that will be more agile in economically supporting the show, and the mass exhibition of these drawings is something that I have been wanting to do for some time.
I anxiously await your thoughts.
Hugs,
Daniele

Henri Chopin
Graphpoemachines
13 September – 28 October 2017
Supportico Lopez is very glad to present the third exhibition at the gallery of the avant-garde poet and artist Henri Chopin.
“Graphpoemachines” takes his name from a project Henri Chopin realized in 2005-2006 in Verona, under the auspices of Francesco Conz.
Conz invited Chopin several times to Verona, in particular for a residence in 1987, during which his piano mute was made: ‘Francesco left me a big space to work, an almost new piano, which I had to wrap up to make a mute and blind ballerina… like a god with small feet. And because I was fed up always listening to the same concert wherever I went, as if I were to play and finding it all more artificial than a firework with great pleasure I shut the mouth of a piano which played Chopin without pause”.
If such is the genesis of the piano shown in this exhibition, Chopin describes his other three-dimensional pieces as follows: ‘My sculptures, which are not sculptures, are a neo-alphabet created using second hand electro-acoustic devices or those which have been overtaken by technology which evolves with the passage of time. But old radio sets just like old magnetic tape recorders even if they are tired for me are not to be thrown away’.
These curious anthropomorphic totems – sort of self-portraits of the artist in his last years – were made with old instruments to which Chopin had also remained faithful, in both his sound works and public performances.
In 1983 Francesco Conz met Chopin for the first time and few years later they worked together on their first editorial project. During a visit at Leigh-on-Sea, in the south of England, when Jean, Chopin’s wife was still alive, they started to plan To ray the rays, a nine pages book in 5 different colors, silk screen printed by hand on fabric in large format. Chopin followed the production of the edition very closely, personally controlling the quality of the printing, the material, the juxtaposition of colors and their intensity. Conz considered To ray the rays as a milestone in his career as publisher.
This exhibition of Henri Chopin is the first of many that will present, discover and explore the amazing archive left by Francesco Conz, that Supportico Lopez is glad to represent exclusively since. More than three thousands items between artworks, documents, editions and personal belongings by more than one hundred artists, collected and catalyzed by Francesco Conz over the course of more than 30 years.
Supportico Lopez is happy to present an exhibition of Charlie Billingham and Zin Taylor at Independent Régence Brussels.
Independent Régence is the fair’s permanent exhibition space located in Brussels that supports the programs of Independent’s galleries throughout the year. Independent’s Régence platform is part of the fair’s ongoing commitment to the experimentation of presenting and viewing contemporary art, creating unique opportunities to supporting the changing needs of the fair’s extended gallery network.
Supportico Lopez is happy to announce its participation with the Archivio Conz to Printed Matter art book fair at MoMA PS1 New York.
