Seattle: Real Comet Press, 1985. 4to in wraps as issued. 286 pages. Illustrated. Very good clean copy. "As mass culture spreads its web of dreams and illusions over the globe, creating a universal language of desire and belief, our universities and scholarly journals continue to teach and theorize about "art" as though it were some static object of "pure beauty" with no social or economic context or effect. The image of the artist as some isolated "gifted" seer off in an ivory tower persists, as does the ahistorical, nonmaterialist notion that "real art" can easily be distinguished from "mass art" by virtue of certain abstract qualities which, when studied closely turn out usually to be functions of social and historical conditions. Such ideas serve an important political function. They obscure and mystify an entire area of political reality. For as long as we view "art" as static, outside the realm of social forces, and by and large valuable in reverse proportion to its accessibility--the best art of course being produced in a distant past--we will fail to see what is happening under our noses. Such is the pervasiveness of this bourgeois way of thinking, that the activist left in this country (but certainly not in the third world) has rarely engaged in the kind of serious debate on artistic and cultural theory and strategy that the power of the media today demands. Art, for the left, still exists primarily as agitprop, as "entertainment" to be given as akind of light dessert after the serious business of political speeches. Cultures in Contention, which brings together a collection of writings by cultural activists in a variety of media and from countries across the world is no less than remarkable as a corrective to this sorry state of affairs. Its editors start from a theoretical position which is as radical as it is rich in implication. "Cultures in Contention," they say in the introduction, "seeks to reinstate an understanding of the preeminently social character of all cultural action." In so doing, it raises a variety of issues which are rarely discussed or understood. In fact, the book's greatest achievement may be to reveal the world of art production not only as collective, dynamic, and social, but also as theoretically and strategically informed."

London / New York: Continuum Paperback, 2007. X, 221 pp. Very good copy. Noise/Music" looks at the phenomenon of noise in music, from experimental music of the early 20th century to the Japanese noise music and glitch electronica of today. It situates different musics in their cultural and historical context, and analyses them in terms of cultural aesthetics. Paul Hegarty argues that noise is a judgement about sound, that what was noise can become acceptable as music, and that in many ways the idea of noise is similar to the idea of the avant-garde. While it provides an excellent historical overview, the book's main concern is in the noise music that has emerged since the mid 1970s, whether through industrial music, punk, free jazz, or the purer noise of someone like Merzbow. The book progresses seamlessly from discussions of John Cage, Erik Satie, and Pauline Oliveros through to bands like Throbbing Gristle and the Boredoms. Sharp and erudite, and underpinned throughout by the ideas of thinkers like Adorno and Deleuze, "Noise/Music" is the perfect primer for anyone interested in the louder side of experimental music.

Berlin: Bom Dia Boa Tarde Boa Noite, 2015 / 2016. 4to. 200 pages. Illustrated throughout. Unopened in plastic as issued. Artist book. First edition. "Winckelmann’s book was published on the 100-year anniversary of the constitutional amendment of 1915 that allowed women as well as other ‘non-owning citizens’ to vote. The assemblages of one-handed tools resting on top of magazines for men, women, transgender, hetero, gay, etc., makes for a metonymic commentary on the underlying categorizations that allow political disenfranchisement – and at the same time points to the possibility of the unintended alliances that arise from such categorization. Consisting of 50 double-sided, unbound A3 sheets, the book can be dissembled and reassembled at will, making it into a malleable, shifting photographic multitude in red tinted and monochrome. "

"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. Excerpts from the text generated throughout the piece are also included. Each book is numbered by hand and signed by the artist (# 364).

EA - Generali Foundation, Vienna, 1996. 8vo (23 x 16 cm) in wraps as issued. 399 pp with colour and b&w illustrations. German and English text. Fine clean copy. 1st edition. "The overall concept of the exhibition explores the notion of sculpture. Main emphasis is on how this concept has developed since the emergence of new media in the sixties and how it was introduced into the collection of the Generali Foundation. The title of the exhibition directly addresses the theme: the site where art takes place is not neutral ground but explicitly and implicitly a part of the whole. The exhibition thematizes models as well as the conceptual grasping of sculpture, the inclusion of media such as photography, film, video, and TV as well as performative aspects. The selection of works is based on the following question: starting from its origins in the late eighties, how was the basic idea of the General Foundation's collection of contemporary sculpture realized in the nineties, i.e., how is sculpture defined today? The exemplary selection of works from the collection focuses on interdisciplinary works, with film retrospectives by Valie Export and Gordon Matta-Clark at the center of the presentation. Black Box : A movie, lecture, and events hall, a "black box" is set up in the small exhibition hall. A series of events furthers the displays’ emphatically communicative character, an aspect which is integral to the content of the exhibition. This presentation structure attempts to get away from the set display of the same pieces at the same place over a certain space of time. In "White Cube/Black Box" different pieces - which can in part be selected - are shown each day. Another goal is to demonstrate the different parameters for the reception of works (film, video, installation). Film, in contrast to traditional components of an exhibition, is normally offered for a group in a precisely defined space of time and is accompanied by certain social parameters. In exhibitions, film and video is made available continually through the use of looped tapes and short clips. Important themes of this exhibition are therefore the factor of time as well as the aspect of communal versus individual consumption of art works. The Video Collection in Dan Graham's "New Design for Showing Videos" This functional sculpture, which has already been shown in conjunction with Dan Graham's videos in the course of our previous exhibition (Video/Architecture/Performance by Dan Graham), is another central element of the show. Here, the video space is used as a video library for the first time, i.e., for the Foundation's video collection, which has been built up greatly in this connection. VALIE EXPORT Acquisition and Restoration of the Entire Cinematographic Oeuvre: First retrospective in Austria: 28 January to 16 March 1996. The Generali Foundation has acquired and restored VALIE EXPORT’s entire cinematographic oeuvre, making it available to the Austrian public for the first time as a retrospective. The works on display include the film installations "Ping Pong," "Up+Down+On+Off," "Adjunct Dislocations," and "Splitscreen-Solipsism," which have not been shown since the seventies. They are being shown in a cycle each Friday and Saturday from February to mid-March. VALIE EXPORT was awarded the biennial EA-Generali Foundation Sculpture Prize in autumn 1995. Gordon Matta-Clark: Restoration and Acquisition of the Complete Films Film retrospective: 26 March to 13 April 1996. Gordon Matta-Clark (1943-1978, New York) became known for his "cuttings," interventions he carried out on buildings. The artist documented these temporary works on film. However, Matta-Clark also used film analytically and reflectively and it played a major role in his multi-media "gesamt" work (e.g., with "surveillance" being the buzzword in "Chinatown Voyeur" or with the exploration of urban underground scenarios in New York and Paris, as in "Substrait" and "Sous Sols de Paris"). Until recently, Matta-Clark's films were only available as video copies of the original films, which are in a poor state. About half the films were restored upon acquisition by the Generali Foundation, the second half were saved through the support of other institutions (including the Musée d'art moderne; Centre Georges Pompidou, Paris; and IVAM, Barcelona). The Generali Foundation has obtained worldwide first-showing rights for the films restored with its funds; moreover, it has also acquired the presentation rights for all of Matta-Clark’s films and videos. In creating the film program, in addition to structuring the content, attention was given to presenting the films in small segments as a counterpoint to the other exhibition components. Further works from the collection are available alongside the presentations in the Black Box and in the video room. Curator: Sabine Breitwieser. Exhibition Oganization: Daniela Stern.
