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).

New York: Everson Museum of Art Syracuse, 1985. Oblong 8vo in wraps as issued. 80 pages. Illustrated in bw. Near fine clean copy. First edition. With Essays by Lawrence Alloway among others. "Stuart has long been heralded as a true pioneer, known first for her nature-based art dating back to the late 1960’s and 1970’s, and one of the very few female practitioners of Land Art. In an expansive and illustrious career spanning five decades, her work seamlessly merges the fields of history, ecology and archaeology, reflecting intimate personal memory within the context of sweeping environmental and cultural events. She came of age as an artist in New York when both the feminist and environmental movements were being forged into the culture. For others, the ideals and core beliefs of these movements might have dissipated after first flush, but for Stuart the connection between humanity, the animal kingdom, our planet, and the greater spheres we revolve within, have only strengthened and solidified throughout the lifetime of her work."

" the first book to explore the radical shifts that have taken place in the practice of curating contemporary art over the last twenty years. Tracing a history of the field through its most innovative shows, renowned curator Jens Hoffmann selects the fifty exhibitions that have most significantly shaped the practice of both artists and exhibition curators. The book's nine thematic sections focus on a huge variety of exhibitions, including those that have explored public space; reflected on globalization; engaged audiences in revolutionary ways; and brought into the gallery other disciplines such as theatre and architecture. Short texts introduce and place each exhibition in context, accompanied by installation photographs and factual data about the participating artists, venues, dates, curators and publications, and many feature quotations from the originating curators exploring the premise of the show. The book concludes with a roundtable discussion by some of today's leading curators".

Suhrkamp Verlag, 1994. Gebunden, mit OU. 501 Seiten. Gut erhalten. Zeitungsartikel beigefügt. First edition. Adorno schreibt "Alle Verdinglichung ist ein Vergessen: Objekte werden dinghaft im Augenblick, wo sie festgehalten sind, ohne in allen ihren Stücken aktuell gegenwärtig zu sein: wo etwas von ihnen vergessen ist.« Kaum eine bessere Charakterisierung als dieser Satz aus Adornos Brief vom 29. Februar 1940 an Walter Benjamin ließe sich denken, um darzutun, worin die entscheidende Differenz zwischen den Diskussionen, die in der Kritischen Theorie der dreißiger Jahre geführt wurden, und der Darstellung liegt, die die Ergebnisse jener Diskussionen heutzutage in der Sekundärliteratur zusammenfaßt. Es liegen Welten zwischen der Kritik, die Adorno und Benjamin wechselseitig an ihren Arbeiten während der Emigration übten, und der geronnenen Gestalt, in der diese zentralen Arbeiten von den Nachgeborenen, zerstückelt und ungeschickt wieder zusammengeklebt, rezipiert und ›tradiert‹ werden. - Galt ein beträchtlicher Teil der Korrespondenz Benjamins Fragment gebliebenem »Passagen-Werk«, welches das 19. Jahrhundert geschichtsphilosophisch zu entschlüsseln sich vorgenommen hatte, und der ›Abschlagszahlung‹ darauf, dem Baudelaire-Aufsatz für die »Zeitschrift für Sozialforschung«, so kreisen die Briefe insgesamt, die Benjamin und Adorno vor allem in der Emigration, ab 1934, wechselten, um die verbindliche theoretische Darstellung jener grundlegenden Erfahrungen der bürgerlichen Kultur, die mit dem Faschismus unwiederbringlich verlorengingen und deren Vergessen gerade nicht das glückliche Ballastabwerfen des Wanderers war, der das Ziel in erreichbarer Ferne vor sich liegen sieht. Der Briefwechsel läßt ermessen, welche Bedeutung die praktische und geistige Solidarität hatte, die Adorno und Benjamin voneinander erfuhren, als sie in intellektueller Isolierung lebten. Die in der akademischen Welt abhanden gekommene Gelehrtenrepublik lebte fort in denen, die aller akademischen Sekurität entbehren mußten und die darum aller der Sache äußerlichen Konvention sich entschlagen durften. Den empirischen Niederschlag des Vorrangs der Sache in der Person beschrieb Adorno 1965: »In sich und seinem Verhältnis zu anderen setzte er rückhaltlos den Primat des Geistes durch, der anstelle von Unmittelbarkeit sein Unmittelbares wurde.«

Copenhagen: SMK - 2013. 8vo in stapled wraps as issued. 30 pages. Text in English and Danish. Illustrated. Fine copy. 1. ed. "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".
