Spector Books for HKW, 2015. Tall slim 8vo in wraps as issued. 218 pages. Text in English. Fine copy. 1st edition. "Ape Culture" traces the long cultural and scientific obsession with humanity’s closest relatives. In the Western historical representations of modernity, depictions of apes were traditionally used to show the absence of culture. Standing as a liminal figure separating humans and animals, the ape has, since ancient times, played a central role in the narrative of civilisational progress. This book, which appears in conjunction with the exhibition of the same nameseeks, however, to go beyond the mere examination of apes as signifiers of difference. The juxtaposition of artworks with documents taken from popular culture and the history of primatology gives the reader an insight into what the science historian Donna Haraway has termed the »primate order« — a hall of mirrors reflecting the scientific and cultural projections that turned the ape from an instrument of humanity’s self-definition into an integral element in testing out the possibility of reconstructing human »nature«. »Ape Culture« was shown at the Haus der Kulturen der Welt 2015.

Texts (in English) by Else-Marie Bukdahl, Jan Zahle, et al. Very good clean copy- 'In the latter half of the 18th century, Johannes Wiedewelt (1731-1802) played a pivotal role in introducing an early form of Neoclassicism in Danish sculpture by creating a large number of monuments for many different purposes. In the 1750s he studied in Paris and Rome, where he became part of an international network of pioneering artists and scholars, including J.J. Winckelmann. In Denmark, Wiedewelt endeavoured to translate the ancient idiom in statuary and monuments into an ‘eternal’, national style. This is the first book-length study of Johannes Wiedewelt in English, and the volume aims at reassessing Wiedewelt’s role in the service of art, art theory, academic education, design, etc. Emphasis is placed on his studies of Classical Antiquity and Danish prehistoric and medieval monuments, which makes him particularly interesting for the history of archaeology'.

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.

Amsterdam, The Netherlands: Mondriaan Foundation, , 2009. Catalog for Fiona Banner's contribution to the Dutch Pavilion, 53rd Venice Biennale, June 7 - November 22, 2009. Wrappers. Dos-a-dos binding. Stitch bound and glued. Curator: Saskia Bos. Includes a coversation between the artist and curator and essays by Bruce Grenville, Dominic van den Boogerd, Doris von Drathen and Thomas Elsaesser. Minor edgewear to cover, clean inside. For the Dutch pavilion at the 53rd Venice Biennale, Fiona Tan has developed the project Disorient, which consists of three different works: Disorient, Rise and Fall, Provenance. Her audio-visual installation refers to Venice's pivotal position in the history of geostrategy in the time before the discovery of new routes to Asia diluted the city's power. Her project attempts to bridge the centuries by creating connections with both contemporary day-to-day reality and with the symbolic past that every visitor to Venice wants to grasp. The elaborately designed book (Design: Gabriele Franziska Götz) also presents other recent works by Tan. Fiona Tan's (*1966 in Indonesia) installations and films are the result of her ongoing investigation into representation and the role of images and portraits in contemporary culture. Her works were shown at many international venues: Amsterdam's Rijksmuseum; Istanbul Biennial; ICP Triennial, New York; Documenta 11, Kassel; the 49th Venice Biennale. Tan was shortlisted for the first Artes Mundi Prize in 2003 and the Deutsche Börse Photography Prize 2007.

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.
