St. Gallen, Kunstmuseum & Goteborgs Konsthal - Kehrer, 2009. 4to in wraps as issued. 120 pages. illustrated, text in English. Near fine / fine copy. 1. ed. "Change of Place is the title of a joint work by New York artists. In interviews, women from diverse backgrounds are asked how they see themselves. The resulting photographs show not only those interviewed, but also the interpreters, subtly shifting the theme of the work to the question of what happens when information is translated from one language into another. Andrea Geyer (*1971) was the prime discovery at documenta XII with her Spiral Lands I. In quietly revealing works made up of both image and text, photographs are combined with historical data, news and fictional travel reports. Sharon Hayes (*1970) explores social realities by searching for historical parallels. She always chooses themes that have inscribed themselves in US history, with traumatic consequences."

Sternberg Press, 2014. Small paperback. 345 pages. Clean, seems unread.  When workaday author John Barlow is asked to ghostwrite a novel about secretive tax havens, he assumes the job will be straightforward. Then he learns that his employers, Swedish conceptual artist duo Goldin+Senneby, want him to investigate Headless Ltd, a shadowy company with possible links to French philosopher Georges Bataille, famed for his fixation with human sacrifice. Barlow travels to Nassau, the mecca of offshore finance, to uncover the plot. He is not alone. A beautiful, mysterious woman is also seeking the truth about Headless-and about Barlow. One day the ghostwriter is happily posting to his travel blog; the next he is implicated in the decapitation of a police officer, consumed by the dark world of covert capitalism and secret societies. Barlow's probing becomes desperate. The more he grasps at the threads of the labyrinthine plot, the closer he comes to madness. Copublished with Tensta konsthall and Triple Canopy.

Barcelona: Actar / Macba, 1999. Small 4to in flexible hardcover as issued. 205 pages, richly illustrated, mainly in color. Text in both French and Catalan. Near fine clean copy with only light shelfwear to corners of cover. From the collection of John Hunov, with his neat bookmark at front innercover. Fine monograph on Hains’ work: hypnagogic photographs, abstract photos made through fluted glass in the late 1940s, under a Surrealist influence to his decollage works and more. Ribbed glass, cinema and letterist poetry, Nouveau Réalisme – the décollage (unpeeling) of torn posters: a turning point but also one “site” among many others – which he regularly revisited. Urban dérives (“drifts”) took him ever closer to Situationism and, after the ads and billboards, he next collected and displayed boarding fences from construction sites (palissades). The first time the term décollage appeared in print was in the Dictionnaire Abrégé du Surréalisme in 1938, it is usually used in the context of nouveau réalisme. The artists involved, Raymond Hains among them, often sought out sites with many layers of posters so that the process of décollage took on an archeological character and was seen as a means of uncovering historical information. They exhibited their ripped poster artworks as aesthetic objects and social documents. From 1949 Hains made work from posters that he tore from the walls of Paris. In 1963 the German artist Wolf Vostell appropriated the term, staging a series of happenings under the title Nein 9 Decollagen which involved television images which he had ‘décollé’ unstuck from the screen and re-presented.

São Paulo, 1994. 4to in wraps as issued. 57 pages, plus adds. Fine clean copy. Goran Petercol, born in Pula in 1949. "Petercol attended the Maritime School and, after graduation, served on ocean-going merchant navy ships. He graduated in Painting from the Academy of Fine Arts in Zagreb, in 1975, after which he spent two years in Ljubo Ivancic's Master Workshop. For years he has worked as an art editor of encyclopaedic and lexicographic publications and, until retirement, as a professor at the Academy of Applied Arts in Rijeka. During the 70s and the beginning of the 80s, Goran Petercol was closely associated with a group of conceptual artists who adopted analytical methods in structuring their works. His exploration of processuality, reach, stylization and various conceptual strategies has been continuous. From early on in his career, he has been treating light as a material. In addition, he uses light and shadow to lay claim to and reactivate a certain territory. He thereby directs the gaze of the viewer to what usually gets eluded – spatial relations, the combination of elements tied to a certain place, as well as memory as an idea of a past event which, according to the artist, is a part of life and art to a greater extent than we might be aware of."

Koenig Books, 2009. 8vo in black wraps as issued. 206 pages, richly illustrated. Text in English. Fine clean copy. First edition. Elke Krystufek, Dorit Margreiter and Franziska & Lois Weinberger. All have developed new works for the Austrian pavilion. Each of these artistic positions deals with a specific theme, and while their art differs greatly, they all share a structural approach, which critically questions the orders determining social aspects of our lives, our culture and politics. Elke Krystufek condenses several themes in her painting installation TABOU TABOO (2009): Polynesia, the mythical place as it was conceived and conveyed in Modern European art, and the issue of a specifically “female gaze”. The title TABOU TABOO is a reference to the film “Tabu” by F. W. Murnau and further to Sigmund Freud’s “Totem und Tabu”. Krystufek replaces the word “Austria” on the outside of the pavilion with the word “Tabu”, and thus attacks the identity of the building. Dorit Margreiter‘s work Pavilion (2009) is a film dealing with the place of its production and its mis-en-scène: the pavilion constructed by Austrian architect Josef Hoffmann, opened 1934 in the Giardini of Venice. Margreiter explores the pavilion as an utopian space of art, forming an architectural sculpture in itself. Pavilion is a grainy black-and-white film with a surreal quality. Its staged rendition at the actual site mirrors the pavilion in its space and in time, it is a projection of itself onto itself. Laubreise (2008/09) by Franziska & Lois Weinberger is an outside piece, an accessible architectural sctructure located between pavilion and canal which houses an object inside. Laubreise as well as other works by F. & L. Weinberger deal with the relationship between “nature” and “culture”; their work is about the subtle „peripheries of perception” of an “invisible nature / spiritual nature” (L. Weinberger). Inside the pavilion an installation gives insight into Weinberger’s work from 1976 until today.
