Cambridge University Press, 2001. Softcover as issued. XIII, 368 pp. With illustrations bw. Very good copy, no name and no markings. 1st edition. From the series Cambridge Studies in Renaissance Literature and Culture, # 38. "During the late sixteenth century 'fashion' first took on the sense of restless change in contrast to the older sense of fashioning or making. As fashionings, clothes were perceived as material forms of personal and social identity which made the man or woman. In Renaissance Clothing and the Materials of Memory Jones and Stallybrass argue that the making and transmission of fabrics and clothing were central to the making of Renaissance culture. Their examination explores the role of clothes as forms of memory transmitted from master to servant, from friend to friend, from lover to lover. This book offers a close reading of literary texts, paintings, textiles, theatrical documents, and ephemera to reveal how clothing and textiles were crucial to the making and unmaking of concepts of status, gender, sexuality, and religion in the Renaissance".

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.

Denmark: Louisiana Museum of Modern Art, 2022. Large tall 4to in wraps as issued. 108 pages, richly illustrated. Text in English. Fine unread copy. 1. ed. Book designed by Michael Jensen of K Grafik. - Dorothy Iannone was born in Boston, Massachusetts, in 1933. Her father died when she was two years old and she was raised by her mother Sarah Nicoletti Iannone, later Sarah Pucci. She graduated from Boston University in 1957 with a B.A. in American Literature. She went on to study English literature at the graduate level at Brandeis University. In 1958 she married the painter James Upham and the couple moved to New York City. The following year, Iannone taught herself to paint alongside her husband. Between 1963 and 1967 she exhibited with her husband at the Stryke Gallery, an exhibition space she ran with her husband in New York and traveled frequently to Europe and Asia. In 1961 the U.S. Customs at the Idlewild Airport in Queens, New York seized her book The Tropic of Cancer by Henry Miller she was traveling with and which was banned at the time. Iannone sued the U.S. Customs with assistance from the New York Civil Liberties Union, which caused her book to be returned and the ban on Miller to be lifted. The majority of Iannone's paintings, texts, and visual narratives depict themes of erotic love. Her explicit renderings of the human body draw heavily from the artist's travels and from Japanese woodcuts, Greek vases, and visual motifs from Eastern religions, including Tibetan Buddhism, Indian Tantrism and Christian ecstatic traditions like those of the seventeenth-century Baroque. Her small wooden statues of celebrities with visible genitals, including Charlie Chaplin and Jacqueline Kennedy, especially display with the artist's interest in African tribal statues. The explicit nature of Iannone's work frequently fell foul of censors in the 60s, 70s, and 80s. The artist said of the early censorship of her work: "When my work was not censored outright, it was either mildly ridiculed or described as folkloric, or just ignored. In 1969 the Kunsthalle Bern tried to censor Iannone's work in the group exhibition Ausstellung der Freunde by requesting that she cover up the genitals of her figures. In protest Dieter Roth dropped out of the exhibition and the curator of the Kunsthalle Bern, Harald Szeeman, resigned. Iannone recalled the experience in the Fluxus publication The Story of Bern or Showing Colors (1970).
