Revolver Publishing & Space Poetry, 2012. Squarish quarto in original wraps. 155 pages. Illustrated. Text in English. Minor wear. with an enclosed piece of paper: "this is not an artwork of mine / Mikkel Carl" (see photo).  1st ed. with handwritten note by Mikkel Carl, signed. - "A Kassen, Kristoffer Akselbo, Walead Beshty, Mikkel Carl, Simon Denny, FOS, Ryan Gander, Marc Ganzglass, Tue Greenfort, Jens Haaning, Mette Hersoug, Marie Kølbæk Iversen, Henrik Plenge Jakobsen, Jacob Jessen, Marijn van Kreij, Jette Hye Jin Mortensen, Marc Nagtzaam, Navid Nuur, Henrik Olesen, Amalia Pica, Lea Porsager, Pind, Nikolaj Recke, Katya Sander, Kasper Sonne, Simon Starling. The idea originates from the sixties. In 1966 Mel Bochner exhibited "Working drawings and other visible things on paper not necessarily meant to be viewed as art". The show simply consisted of four binders placed on separate plinths. They each contained photocopies of various material selected according to the title. Two years later, gallerist Seth Sieglaub published "The Xerox book". Featuring works by Carl Andre, Joseph Kosuth, Sol LeWitt, and Lawrence Weiner among others, the publication was a proposition for the exhibition catalogue as an artistic medium in its own right. Quite recently Mel Bochner's groundbreaking exhibition has been promoted through the publication of four completely identical catalogues. Instead of showing the four slightly varying photocopied versions of the original material, they have all rather surprisingly been made from one and the same photographic reprint. Seth Sieglaub's project is characterized by a similar paradox because in the end it proved far too expensive to produce a book made entirely photocopies. Thus "The Xerox Bbook" was duplicated using a regular printing press. Nevertheless, these two exhibitions radically transformed our comprehension of what art might be. But as Lucy Lippard has pointed out this so-called "dematerialization of the art object" all too quickly turned into a sort of "Xerox aesthetics". Functioning as a very successful brand, this particular look gave conceptual art its pyrrhic victory as it led most of its social and political ambitions to a dead end. Neither photocopy nor offset print are more neutral, or perhaps objective, than any other media. Their physicality is no less tangible than say oil paint, plaster or bronze, and if you consider a publication to be an exhibition in its own right it's probably located somewhere between the white cube and public space. However, its key strength is that it enables concentrated conceptual and sensuous qualities to flow across time and space. Anyone getting their hands on a copy of this book - whenever or wherever - will experience the presence of the artworks. "This title is an artwork of mine" presents 26 original works of art that exist solely as printed pages in a catalogue. The invited artists have more or less freely dealt with this context : graphic (re-)presentation of art. "This title is an artwork of mine" is a presentation and distribution of these rather different applications of the catalogue as a specific exhibition space."

New York and London: Anyone Coporation & MIT Press, 2001. Quarto in french wraps as issued. 287 pages. Text in English. Illustrated. Fine clean copy. 1st ed. "At a time when the fragmented ideas and styles in architecture make it seem as if "anything goes," Anything asks whether there are constraints to thought and action that change "anything" to "the thing." In thirty-two original essays, many of them illustrated, leading architects, theorists, historians and others discuss their works. The wide-ranging topics include a "refugee republic," "blur buildings," virtual environments, shopping, and stress. "Anything," it would seem, is many things, opening the way for architecture to embrace history, science, research, and technology. The authors include, among others, Caroline Bos, Ignasi de Solà-Morales, Elizabeth Diller, Peter Eisenman, Zaha Hadid, Jacques Herzog, Steven Holl, Osamu Ishiyama, Arata Isozaki, Romi Khosla, Rem Koolhaas, Greg Lynn, Rafael Moneo, Jean Nouvel, Wolf Prix, Hani Rashid, Bernard Tschumi, and Ben van Berkel. Anything is the tenth and final book in the ongoing series that began in 1991 with Anyone and was followed by Anywhere, Anyway, Anyplace, Anywise, Anybody, Anyhow, Anytime, and Anymore. Each volume is based on a conference at which architects and leaders in other fields came together to present papers and discuss a particular idea in architecture from a cross-cultural and multidisciplinary perspective.

Spector Books, 2013. Tall 4to in wraps as issued. 112 pp. with illustrations. Fine clean as new copy, unopened in publishers plastique. 1. ed. - Jean-Pascal Flavien‘s work involves the design and conception of houses that produce a particular situation of living. A form of thinking gives rise to a form of living and dwelling, and the use of these houses furthers this approach to thinking by experimenting with the space, by writing, films, etc. Four houses have been realised thus far: the »viewer« in Rio de Janeiro in 2007, the »no drama house« in Berlin in 2009, the »two persons house« in Sao Paulo in 2010, and the »breathing house« in Pougues-les-Eaux in France in 2012. Each house suggests a specific perspective on the world by proposing different types of interaction through language, space, gesture or mediation of the activities that take place within it. This catalogue is an arrangement of independent parts put next to one another, or side-by-side, like a parataxis, following the development of the most recent houses, the »no drama house« and the "breathing house".

Copenhagen: Book Lab, 2023. Tall large quarto in hardcover boards as issued. 164 pages. Text in English. Fine copy.  First edition. "From the Baltic countries and Ukraine in the west, to Siberia far to the east, Georgia, Armenia and the Caucasus in the south. In the years from 1988 to 1993, photographer Stig Stasig traveled around the Soviet Union and photographed life on streets. “Today’s Russia is a product of its past: the tsarist era, the revolution and the Soviet regime, and not least the chaotic break-up period around 1990. The only way we can hope to understand Russia’s behavior today is to familiarize ourselves with history and the completely different reality that the Russian people are and have been subject to. We have a tendency to try to understand Russia’s and Putin’s actions based on our own perception of freedom and democracy. What seems absurd from our point of view can often be understood very differently when looking at the same problem from the Russian side.” – Stig Stasig. Retrograd contains text by Sergej Lebedev, one of the young promising Russian writers in exile, who in his stories about the present draws threads to the past. Book design by Stig Stasig with Michael Jensen of K Grafik. a very intense, poetic and classic photobook documentary. Highly recommended!

First edition, fine copy. - "(1–3) Making the audiovisual recording for the exhibition My first sonic Lok at Bahnmuseum Albula, Bergün, 2013. Installation of various analog sensors to record the vibrations and electro-magnetic waves during the operation of the locomotive on the world-famous Albula route. Gion Caprez, Andy Guhl. Live sound mix in the driver’s cab of the locomotive RhB GE 6/6 704 «Davos», 65-ton, 2400 HP engine, 11 kV, 16.7 Hz. (4) Eight different converters from physical waves—used as microphone or speaker. (5–6) My first sonic Lok, 170° video still, from the exhibition at Bahnmuseum Albula, Bergün.Taken from the audiovisual recording of a train locomotive ride on the Albula line. Visual of the cracking sounds of this high-voltage machine recorded by a video camera attached to the window of the locomotive". This book about the experimental musician Andy Guhl at first looks loud and somewhat confusing, but this is part of its programmatic intent. It is a reference to Guhl’s musical credo: for four decades, he has often moved on the border between music and noise with his disassembled and rewired everyday electronic devices. In addition, two important design decisions remind the reader that a book, like live music, has a temporal dimension: the left hand pages show full-bleed still images from audiovisual performances by Guhl, creating a strong rhythm as one leafs through; and on the right-hand pages, a continuous stream of various images and texts flows from top to bottom in a seemingly mechanical layout. On these pages, the unusual paper, reminiscent of carbon paper, is extremely susceptible to the traces left from being touched and scratched. The inevitable rapid wear on the volume, particularly on the cover, transforms each book into a unique art object. Most Beautiful Swiss Books 2014.
