"What are quirky salt and pepper shakers doing next to some of the main masterpieces of art history? Haim Steinbach is deeply interested in objects and how they are displayed. In this exhibition he challenged our perception of the art museum as an institution by showing important works of art side by side with small everyday objects. In his works Haim Steinbach arranges objects from all sorts of contexts on shelves and walls and in display units. In fact we all collect things and place them next to each other – on a windowsill, the kitchen worktop, or a bathroom shelf. On a previous occasion Steinbach has explained that he regards the act of collecting and displaying things as a fundamental human practice: With my work, the bottom line is that any time you set an object next to another object you´re involved in a communicative, social activity. Haim Steinbach includes works of art from different eras and genres in his exhibition, presenting them in a way that is completely different from the usual approach taken by museums, which typically display art in accordance with chronological, thematic, or monographic principles. By making a break with those principles Steinbach creates a whole new contex".

Yale University Press, 1997. Square 8vo in publishers hardcover, with jacket. 180 pages, richly illustrated. Dustjacket spine is sunned else a clean and very well preserved fine copy. First edition. "Le Corbusier, the most influential architect of the twentieth century, died in 1965 only weeks after completing Mise au point, his last opus in the form of antobiographical reflections. Published posthumously, Mise au point is a curious and cryptic text, yet it sheds an important light on the great artist’s mind and temperament. This book is the first English translation of Mise au point, the first illustrated critical bilingual edition, and the first attempt to integrate this document into Le Corbusier’s life as a whole, especially its final embittered years. In an insightful introduction and in annotations, Ivan Zaknic shows how the themes of the text echo the contradictions of Le Corbusier’s personality: determined to rebuke society and yet constantly courting its approval; devoted to serving the public and yet returning again and again to a solitary monastic ideal; distrusting professional institutions, the academy, and the government and yet stung by their willingness to pass him by. Zaknic links the themes of this text with Le Corbusier’s passion for certain literary works, especially Don Quixote, and emphasizes the architect’s many philosophical formulas for coming to terms with death—first that of his beloved wife and then his own. Illustrated with photos and drawings, many of which appear here for the first time, and also including a revealing interview granted by Le Corbusier in the final months of his life, the volume will be welcomed by all students of Le Corbusier’s art, architecture, and urban planning, as well as by those interested in modernism and twentieth-century culture."

San Francisco Cinemateque, San Francisco, 2004. Small tall 8vo in wraps as issued. 64 pages with illustrations. English text. Fine clean copy. 1st edition. " Images of the deconstruction of abandoned buildings and industrial structures are closely associated with "anarchitect" Gordon Matta-Clark. Often overlooked, however, are the film works through which Matta-Clark furthered his lifelong excavation of urban dwellings. In this book, San Francisco Cinematheque presents a retrospective of the moving-image works through which Matta-Clark explored his aesthetic assumptions and philosophical inquiry. Featuring rarely published images and a quartet of imaginative essays, City Slivers and Fresh Kills establishes Matta-Clarks films as perhaps his most surprising, and certainly most viscerally arresting body of work, characterized by the same creative provocation, rough aesthetic beauty, and intellectual insight that informed all of the artists famous architectura".

Manuella Editions, 2013. 8vo in original canvas cover in coloured linen with a transparent, silkscreen-printed dustjacket as issued. 160 pages, illustrated. Fine clean copy. First edition. - Anri Sala’s project for the French Pavilion in Venice is a play on words based on the verb to ravel and its opposite, to unravel, as well as a reference to the famous French composer Maurice RavSound artel, who in 1930 composed the Concerto in D for the Left Hand, which is at the heart of Anri Sala’s project. The book was conceived by Anri Sala and Christine Macel to accompany this project and contains different texts offering a variety of perspectives, including historic statements of Maurice Ravel, Paul Wittgenstein (for whom Ravel composed the concerto) and Marguerite Long (a famous pianist and friend of Ravel’s), texts taken from the novels of Alexander Waugh (a Wittgenstein specialist) and of Jean Échenoz (extracts of his novel Ravel), texts about John Cage and the anechoic chambers by Dana Samuel or about the musical technique of the left hand by Hans Brofeldt, and finally essays by Laurent Pfister (on issues of copyright and authorship), by Peter Szendy (a musicologist and philosopher) and by Christine Macel (curator of the French Pavilion).
