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."

"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. "

Georg D.W. Callwey München, 1961. Small slim 8vo in publishers hardcover. 105 pp. Illustrated. Text in German. Very good clean copy. 1. edition. - Tessenow (1876-1950) is considered together with Bruno Taut, Erich Mendelsohn, Walter Gropius and Mies van der Rohe one of the most important personalities of German architecture."Tessenow's basic ideas were expressed in his text Hausbau und Dergleichen, a very didactic book in which he goes over the basic and permanent issues of architecture, as well as presenting his projected work until 1916. One of the basic ideas is not to subtract from architecture the dignity that it has gained over the years. This argument was shared by the Italian architects who, during the fifties and after, defended the primordial importance of tradition in architecture, of the effort accumulated during centuries of experience and the distrust versus the experimentalist rhetorics who seek the formal renewal of architecture. Another basic idea is that of identifying craftwork with traditional bourgeois values. This leads him to give importance to the aspiration for order, loyalty and rigour as fundamental bourgeois values. Order, simplicity and clarity are also related to repetition as instruments used by simple people. This makes him tend towards a sort of primitive functionalism, a minimalist architecture that seeks to produce a strong and rich impression by means of repetition. In his books and his work, Tessenow always defended a rigorous research task of the essential forms: "The simplicity to which we aspire can represent the greatest richness, just as the formal variety that we have at our disposal can reveal itself as very poor". (JOSEP MARIA MONTANER).

Profile Books, London, 2013. Publishers hardcover, with jacket. XV, 382 pp. Fine unread copy. Prehistoric drummers used natural acoustics to recreate natural sound. In classical Europe, orators turned the human voice into a lyrical instrument. In Buddhist temples, the icons' ears were exaggerated to represent their spiritual power. And in modern metropolises we are battered by the roar of sound that surrounds us. In the first narrative history of the subject which puts humans at its centre, and following the author's major BBC Radio 4 series Noise, acclaimed historian David Hendy describes the history of noise - which is also the history of listening. As he puts it: 'By thinking about sound and listening, I want to get closer to what it felt like to live in the past.'This unusual book reveals fascinating changes in how we have understood our fellow human beings and the world around us. For although we might see ourselves inhabiting a visual world, our lives are shaped by our need to hear and be heard.

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".

As the co-founder of the legendary Factory Records and the Hacienda, he appointed himself a custodian of Manchester's legacy of innovation and change, becoming a cultural pioneer for the North. To Paul Morley, he was this and much more: bullshitting hustler, flashy showman, inventive broadcaster, self-deprecating chancer, publicity seeker, loyal friend. It was Morley to whom Wilson left a daunting final request: to write this book.From Manchester with Love is the biography of a man who changed the world around him through sheerforce of personality. In the cultural theatre of Manchester, Tony Wilson broke in and took centre stage".

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.

Carlos Capelán is a Uruguayan and Swedish contemporary artist, educator and curator, born in Montevideo, Uruguay, in 1948. After two years hitch-hiking across South America, he returns to Montevideo in 1970 and opens a weaving studio. In 1971, his studio is raided five times by police and military. In 1972, he moves to the island of Chiloé in Chile where he works with peasant cooperatives as a weaving technician. In 1973, he is detained and disappeared during the military coup. He reappears in the Estadio Nacional among a group of 54 Uruguayans rescued by the Swedish Ambassor to Chile, Harald Edenstam. As a result, he ends exiled in Sweden and settles in Lund where he still keeps a studio. He starts studying at Grafikskolan Forum in 1978 and opens his first solo show at Andres Tornberg Gallery. Between 1980 and 1981 he lives in Mexico where he leads courses at the studio of Uruguayan artist Anhelo Hernández. In 1981, back in Lund, he opens a print-making studio together with Carl Gustafsson and Stefan Sjöberg. In 1986, he receives one of the awards at the third Havana Biennial. He returns to Havana in 1989 to hold several seminaries and lectures at the Instituto Superior de las Artes (ISA) and again in 1994 as celebrated artist of the fifth Havana Biennial. In 1996 he discotinues working with his galleries in Germany, Colombia, Spain and France, and moves with his family to Costa Rica where he will live until 2001. During tha period he starts a close collaboration with Virginia Pérez-Ratton, at the time the Director of the Museo de Arte y Diseño Contemporáneo and later founder of the Fundación Teorética. His work has been called post-conceptual. Free from specific trends or formal boundaries, he works with structures of ideas with a material and formal diversity operating from the language of representation, referrinig to his identity as an artist as well as the artwork's itself. Capelán's language includes drawing, print-making, painting, photography, installation, sculpture, objects, performance, workshops, lectures and texts, as well as his activity as curator.
