Kaleidoscope Press, 2010 (1995). 12mo hardcover, no jacket, as issued. 206, (4) pp. Fine clean copy. With a new foreword by the artist. - Second edition, first printing thus - of the critically acclaimed French artists' publication: an artist's book and novel of speculative fiction: "In late 1994 Philippe Parreno dictated to Liam Gillick and Jack Wendler a fantastical description of a party that had not yet occured. Snow Dancing, is a record of his original conversation and the party it described. At the Consortium in Dijon two months later, hundreds of people were invited to participate in a promotional event that played out Parreno's earlier description. The party lasted one hour and a half hours, exactly as long as it had taken to narrate it and about as long as it will take you to read this book. "Snow Dancing (1995) started with the publication of a book in which I described a promotional event, a kind of party or festival. The reading time of the text was about the same as the event itself. So the book was a score that was performed in Le Consortium in Dijon. I transformed the exhibition space that hosted the party, and this time-based architecture became the exhibition - people were invited to visit an architecture produced by a party. So the book was a score that produced a space." - Parreno, Philippe interview with Tom Morton.

MIT press, 2012. Large paperback. XX, 270 pp. Fine clean, unread copy. An exploration of the production, transmission, and mutation of affective tonality—when sound helps produce a bad vibe. Sound can be deployed to produce discomfort, express a threat, or create an ambience of fear or dread—to produce a bad vibe. Sonic weapons of this sort include the “psychoacoustic correction” aimed at Panama strongman Manuel Noriega by the U.S. Army and at the Branch Davidians in Waco by the FBI, sonic booms (or “sound bombs”) over the Gaza Strip, and high-frequency rat repellants used against teenagers in malls. At the same time, artists and musicians generate intense frequencies in the search for new aesthetic experiences and new ways of mobilizing bodies in rhythm. In Sonic Warfare, Steve Goodman explores these uses of acoustic force and how they affect populations. Traversing philosophy, science, fiction, aesthetics, and popular culture, he maps a (dis)continuum of vibrational force, encompassing police and military research into acoustic means of crowd control, the corporate deployment of sonic branding, and the intense sonic encounters of sound art and music culture. Goodman concludes with speculations on the not yet heard—the concept of unsound, which relates to both the peripheries of auditory perception and the unactualized nexus of rhythms and frequencies within audible bandwidths.

Galerija suvremene umjenosti Zagreb 1975. Square 8vo in wraps as issued. Text in both Croatian and English by Davor Maticevic. 150 pp. Illustrated thorughout. Fine copy.  Dalibor Martinis (b. 1947) Croatian video, performance and conceptual artist. Graduated at Zagreb Academy of Fine Arts 1971. Exhibits since 1969, began working with video in the early 1970s. Taught at Zagreb Drama Academy from 1987-1991, and 1991 as a guest lecturer at Ontario College of Art in Toronto. He also works as a graphic designer. - The artworks in this book were not commissioned, he tells in an interview "I just produced them myself. They were imagined as an intervention in the wider urban space and into the sphere of city living that concerned everyone, not just me. They were in a sense an extension of my work on Counterfeits of 1973, collage interventions into the tram tickets of the time that contained a graphic display of the city’s layout of the time and the tramlines. There were small, hardly visible interventions and changes on the tickets that at the same time suggested big changes in the layout of the city. Qua document, such a ticket was a fake. In the making of the posters I also made use of graphic elements of tram tickets because it was then a generally recognised graphic portrait of the city, of life and movement around it, an image that every inhabitant recognised".

New York : Aperture Foundation, 2005. Large heavy 4to. Original red clothed hardcover with mounted plate, decorated endpapers, copiously illustrated with colour photographs, illustrated throughout with intro in English. Light wear to exterior else fine copy. First edition." The intimate ache of the dollhouse and its air of manipulation (whether as consumer object or ventriloquist dummy) has become as identified with pioneering photographer Laurie Simmons as with Ibsen. She's even designed a dollhouse for a toy company. Mostly self-taught, Simmons began working in the 1970s, when color and staged tableaux were first being explored by fine-art photographers, and has since mapped out a world all her own, mostly in haunting miniature. Over the past 25 years, her photographs have conveyed a bittersweet nostalgia for the 1950s, while edgily commenting on consumerism, feminism and other fraught aspects of postwar American culture. The accompanying essay by Kate Linker concentrates on selected series that cover the artist's entire oeuvre--from "Ventriloquism," "Walking Objects" and "Lying Objects" to the 1997 "Self-Portraits" and "Café of the Inner Mind".

London: Everyman's Library 309, 2007. Publishers hardcover, w jacket. XXXIII, 787 pp. Fine clean and unread copy. "Flann O'Brien, was an Irish civil service official, novelist, playwright and satirist, now considered a major figure in twentieth-century Irish literature and a key figure in modernist and postmodern literature with novels, such as At Swim-Two-Birds and The Third Policeman. O'Brien's novels have attracted a wide following both for their unconventional humour and as prominent examples of modernist metafiction. As a novelist, O'Brien was influenced by James Joyce. He was nonetheless skeptical of the "cult" of Joyce, saying "I declare to God if I hear that name Joyce one more time I will surely froth at the gob".

University of Helsinki, Department of Anthropology 2002. 8vo in original wraps as issued. VI, 355 pages. With illustrations. Very good, well preserved copy. 1st edition. - " a study of religious knowledge and ritual practices among the Spiritual Baptists in Tobago. It explores the Spiritual Baptist belief system and religious practitioners' politics of self-definition and demarcation, and contrasts these to the ways religion and culture have been conceptualised in studies of AfroCaribbean religious syncretism. Creolisation is shown to spring from the cultural resourcefulness of Spiritual Baptists rather than simply from a synthesis of two or more "original" cultures. The inventiveness and indigenousness of the religion do not render it rootless, fragmented or teleologically constructed, however. An ethnographic analysis of the Spiritual Baptist cosmology and rituals demonstrates that the religion has a cohesive, if not bounded, structure, and that the cosmology is thoroughly rooted in the local world and materialised in bodily experiences and performances. The dynamic of structure and creativity, inherent to the religion, engenders the basic questions of the study." (diss.).

Published by Hatje Cantz, 2008. Large 8vo in hardcover, no jacket as issued. 164 pages, richly illustrated. Text in both English and German. Fine clean copy. 1st edition. "For over twenty years, the repertoire of American artist Mark Dion (*1961 in New Bedford, Massachusetts) has included staged workbenches, dusty storage vaults, stuffed bears, and tarred birds. Ostensibly, his installations, interventions, performances, and photographs critique humankind’s often cruel treatment of nature. However, the artist also demonstrates that “nature” is a mere construct that is constantly being reshaped and reinterpreted. Dion’s current project, Concerning Hunting, examines hunting as a traditional, but controversial, cultural practice. One of the fascinating things about hunting is its fundamental contradictoriness: the sensitivity of the hunter and his profound knowledge about what nature requires are also expressed through the act of killing animals. Dion’s artistic examinations do not focus on nature as such, but rather on the hunt as a way culture deals with it."

University of California Press, 1995. Small hardcover, with dustjacket. XIV, 271 pp. Illustrated b/w. Fine copy. Publisher's note: 'Smithson's pioneering earthworks of the 1960s and 1970s anticipated contemporary concerns with environmentalism and the site-specific character of artistic production. His interrogation of authorship, the linear historiography of high modernism, and the limitations of the museum prefigures key themes in postmodern criticism while underscoring the uniqueness of Smithson's own work as an artist, filmmaker, and writer. Gary Shapiro's elegant and incisive study of Smithson's career is the first book to address the full range of the artist's dazzling virtuosity. Ranging from Smithson's best known works such as "Spiral Jetty" and "Partially Buried Woodshed" to his photographs, films, and theoretical readings and writings, Shapiro's masterful book analyzes Smithson's art in relation to the legacy of American art of the 1960s and central philosophical themes in its contemporary reception.'
