 https://www.adamchodzko.com/works/untitled-stile-teenage-version/‘Stick-errs‘ , made by Chodzko from acrylic paints, acetate and self-adhesive tape, were designed for ‘customising’ Untitled Stile (Teenage Version) (1991) by their user, in the same way that a skateboard might be decorated with accumulated decals. They remain in a limbo state until stuck. But once stuck they’ll disintegrate if attempting to remove them to place them somewhere else. As with many of Chodzko’s works, the viewer, owner, or participant is given agency, responsibility and a quandary around when the object becomes the artwork, and what ‘activation’ they might be required to do to complete the work.
One ‘stick-err’ is based on a wing by Albrecht Dürer from his engraving Nemesis (The Great Fortune) ca. 1501, and the other is based on car bumper stickers. “Honk if you’re Jesus” alludes to The God Look-Alike Contest (1991-1992) which Chodzko was in the process of making in early 1991.
“Stick-errs’ were part of the installation, with Untitled Stile (Teenage Version) (1991), This Is It (1992) and other works, in Chodzko’s solo exhibition at Bipasha Ghosh, London 1992.
