Forlaget Palomar, 2020. 337 pp. Hft. 1. oplag. Pænt eksemplar. "Gennem min barndom var jeg den eneste der vidste at hun skrev på et eller andet, og jeg gættede på at det var erindringer. Men det fortsatte år efter år, til tider kunne der gå flere måneder hvor jeg ikke så hende sætte sig ved bordet og åbne hæftet; og jeg havde allerede vænnet mig til at hendes skriveri var uendeligt, antog at det var en slags indre samtale der ikke var beregnet for en udenforstående læser. I slutningen af firserne blev bedstemor så syg, den ene lidelse afløste den anden, og i nogle år forsvandt hæftet med hendes manuskript et eller andet sted. Og det forsvandt tilsvarende fra mine tanker, jeg glemte det med den forhastede lethed hos teenageren der sluger dagene, den ene efter den anden; at tænke på manuskriptet var som trække et illusorisk, helt ubegrundet håb i langdrag.” Rusland august 1991: Et kup får landet til at vakle, Gorbatjov bliver afsat, Jeltsin overtager magten, og på afstand aner man allerede omridset af Putin. Landet falder fra hinanden. Den ene halvdel sælger råstoffer og kampvogne og bliver mangemillionærer, den anden halvdel synker ned i bitter armod. I dette klima af total omkalfatring finder jegfortælleren sin bedstemors dagbog og erkender at tavsheden om fortiden må brydes hvis Rusland skal have en fremtid. En højaktuel og spændende roman om det land der indtil for få år siden var en verdensmagt. ”Arvtager efter Solsjenitsyn forvandler nutidig russisk depression til en nærmest magisk læseoplevelse".

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.

"In PLEASE BE HERE NOW, Dwelling #1: The Body, the main theme of exploration was the performers own, female body – as private, public and artistic material. Nana Francisca Schottländer lived for three days and nights, 72 hours, in the shop window of Nørgaard Store in central Copenhagen, where she performed everyday chores like sleeping, reading, eating, drinking, thinking – being. While being there she challenged the spectator’s gaze by looking as much at the people passing by and stopping, as they looked at her. The piece created a platform for shared reflections and encounters and was visited by people of all ethnicities, ages, social groups and background at all times of the day and night. During her stay, invited guests joined her in her dwelling to share their thoughts on the body as professional and personal point of reference." - The book incluides an interview by Michael Thouber, head of Kunsthal Charlottenborg with Nana Francisca Schottländer and Mads Nørgaard about the piece, an introduction by Torben Sangild and photos by Casper Sejersen, Alexandra Buhl, David Morrow and Georg Jagunov.

Guggenheim Museum, 2008. 8vo in publishers hardcover, no jacket as issued. 254 pages. Illustrated in color. Some edgewear to bootom edge and lower corners, else well preserved and clean copy. 1st edition. "During the 1990s a number of artists claimed the exhibition as their medium. Working independently or in various collaborative constellations, they eschewed the individual object in favor of the exhibition environment as a dynamic arena, ever expanding its physical and temporal parameters. For these artists an exhibition can comprise a film, a novel, a shared meal, a social space, a performance or a journey. Their work engages directly with the vicissitudes of everyday life, offering subtle moments of transformation. This catalogue, which accompanies a major exhibition at the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, New York, is the first in the U.S. to examine the dynamic interchange among a core group of these artists -- Angela Bulloch, Maurizio Cattelan, Liam Gillick, Dominique Gonzalez-Foerster, Douglas Gordon, Carsten Höller, Pierre Huyghe, Jorge Pardo, Philippe Parreno and Rirkrit Tiravanija -- a many-sided conversation that helped shape the cultural landscape of the 1990s and beyond." (publisher) With a plethora of illustrative essays.

Fine contemporary edition: "Specimen Days" is Whitman's own compilation of prose fragments written across two decades of Walt Whitman’s life: his hospital visits during the Civil War, his recovery from a paralyzing stroke, his jaunts through the broad western states of America, his delight at trees and moths and glowworms, his disappointment at the posturing of prairie women. In his own words, it’s a “mélange of loafing, looking, hobbling, sitting, traveling—a little thinking thrown in for salt, but very little— ... wild and free and somewhat acrid—indeed more like cedar-plums than you might guess at first glance.”
