INUK OH CARDS

88 Round Cards plus 10 Cut-Out Cards "Who am I?"

INUK OH CARDS

The INUK cards present a companion in play to the existential question,
"Who am I, what makes me how I am?"

Each 88mm picture card depicts metaphorically a situation in which any of us might find ourselves. Players interpret the pictures through attributing feelings, moods and actions and so themselves become participants in the scenes.  At the same time they might catch a glimpse of their own current inner state. 

Artist Bai Yilin has enriched the OH-Card genre with her 88 paintings on the theme of self-discovery and self-determination.  10 cut-out cards operate as windows, keyholes or magnifying glasses to enhance and affect our perspectives. 

For further surprises try combining the INUK images with the OH words!

BEAUREGARD - OH CARDS

55 printed collages by the artist Joan Beauregard (limited edition, black box, silver stamp)

BEAUREGARD - OH CARDS

Collages are pictures which include materials other than paint, 'for it´s not the material that is of the essence. The collage´s sole function is the composition itself' (K.Schwitters).

Like ECCO, the BEAUREGARD cards open a door into the world of abstact art. In a song without words the music alone expresses the meaning. Likewise, abstract art in abstaining from depiction of object, figure, scenario or landscape, appeals directly through colour and form to the viewer´s response.

The Beuregard cards are free-spirited arrangements of form and colour that can deeply effect their viewers. We may also go beyond viewing to using these collages as a departure point for personal creative expression. Spontaneous associating can inspire the invention of stories, anecdotes or imaginary travelogues. Other responses to these vivid cards might find expression in painting or dance, music, theatre or pantomime.

A master storyteller in the language of images, Bosch populated his creation with fabulous beasts and creatures of fantasy as well as the people of his time and culture whose imaginations they inhabited.
