About the Item
'And Ten Out of Ten' is a rare early example of the small-scale assemblages that American artist Joel Jaeks began producing in the 1980s. As with all of his assemblages, the artwork is constructed inside an envelope-sized paper board box – then filled with what can only be called memories, ideas and fading dreams. 'And Ten Out of Ten' is broken into three compartments: at the top, filled only with white paint and a piece of a calendar or planner for the date December 22nd, and at the bottom completely empty apart from that same white paint. The middle compartment is the most complex, containing a hand-colored photograph of a swimsuit model reclining, but obscured by a transparent sheet covered in the white, snow-like paint found in all three compartments. In a hidden compartment behind the model, however, what is probably a glass marble rolls free making noise as the assemblage is handled. The exterior of the assemblage relates to but breaks from the interior: it is treated like an abstract canvas of the 1960s, covered in energetic impasto in blue and green and red, unlike the simple snow-white of the interior. Pasted on the back, a piece of paper writing about memory, saying: "I can never remember whether it snowed for six days and six nights when I was twelve or whether it showed for twelve days and twelve nights when I was six."

American artist Joel Jaecks (b. 1958) began his college career as a watercolor artist in the early 1980s after graduating from UWM with a bachelor’s degree in drawing and painting. These watercolors achieved notoriety through exhibitions and a strong collector base in the 1980s.
"While houses and the foliage around them are the objects my camera records," he said, "the subjects of my paintings are the photographs themselves. What appears to be reality in my paintings is not necessarily what is true to life, but what is true to the photograph." Joel Jaecks was spellbound by the abstraction of reality recorded by the camera. Painting from photographs, he highlighted the same nuances he notices in mechanical recordings: the flattening of three-dimensional images, exaggerated angles, the changed intensity of colors. After studying the photograph of an object caught in a peculiar light, Jaecks would paint the scene in great watercolor detail. This detail, expanded to the large scale of his paintings, compels the viewer to look beyond the simple play of shadows.
In the time since, he has moved on to focus on his assemblages, which are themselves inspired by the work of Jasper Johns. “I did my first one in 1982,” he said. “I used to send mail art to my friends. They were flat pieces of paper with paintings or collages on them. After a while I started making them three-dimensional and I guess I haven’t stopped.”
To make them, he uses mat board to build them. He paints the backs of the boxes, glues the sides together, and then fills the space within with ideas, dreams and memories. “The inside of the box usually begins with a photo,” he said. “It might be my own photo or a photo from a book, but it’s usually an image that I start with. I’ll glue it in and then I might let it sit for a few weeks until I find something else to add.” He uses found objects in his work — puzzle pieces, screws, credit cards, paint samples, an image from a cereal box. He also incorporates text, either from books or song lyrics. “I want my work to be more than the objects I find, or lyrics from a song,” he explained. “When I put it all together, I want it to become a piece of art.” Jaecks also includes string and bamboo sticks in his work to make the boxes kinetic, more dynamic. In some, elements are mounted on strings and can be slid up and down. “People seem to really respond to things that move so I like to incorporate things that hang or spin,” Jaecks said. He elicited the passing of time in a dream-like piece that features an old photo and clock that spin.
He continues to live and work in Milwaukee and is a teaching assistant at Fernwood Montessori School.
