First edition. 11.75 x 8.25 inches. 40 pages. Profusely illustrated in color. Original pictorial wrappers. "Published for the release of the Summer 2011 issue of Tar, Toilet Paper: Tar Edition is a special edition of this extravagant publication, gathering the worst images from the first three issues of Toilet Paper into one volume. Part magazine, part artist's book, Toilet Paper is conceived and edited by Italian-born provocateur, mischief-maker and macabre witness to our times Maurizio Cattelan, and his fellow countryman photographer Pierpaolo Ferrari. Published by Deste, Toilet Paper contains no text; only full spreads of photographs, replete with twisted narratives and surrealistic imagery that often appropriate the slick production values of commercial photography to deliver dreamlike (or nightmarish) tableaux that are as appropriate for the coffee table as they are for the WC" (the publisher).

Softcover. Hot pink, spiral-bound card wraps. 166 pp., including 54 pp. of color images. Text in Greek/English. Fusion Cuisine attempts to dispel some of the myths and stereotypes surrounding women's art practice, deconstruct feminist clichés and disrupt stereotypical images of womanhood and established notions of what constitutes 'femininity'. It offers a non-dogmatic and non-didactic glimpse into the diverse and polymorphous nature of contemporary art being made by women today. Though the work in the exhibition addresses disparate concerns, there is also an underlying awareness of the female condition. It presents a varied cross section of art being made by different women from different cultures and backgrounds. History, memory, politics, questions of gender and identity, religion and culture are all areas that are explored. Artists include: Janine Antoni, Cosima von Bonin, Monica Bonvicini, Tania Bruguera, Lee Bul, Patty Chang, Camilla Dahl, Tracey Emin, Sylvie Fleury, Jitka Hanzlova, Hilary Harkness, Eliza Jackson, Liza Lou, Elahe Massumi, Despina Meimaroglou, Catherine Opie, Maria Papadimitriou, Kiki Seror, Fatimah Tuggar, Lina Theodorou and Lisa Yuskavage.

Published by Deste, this part artist's book, part magazine contains no text only full spreads of color photographs with imagery that often appropriates the slick production values of commercial photography to deliver dreamlike (or nightmarish) images that are as appropriate for the coffee table as they are for the WC. In an interview with Vogue Italia, Ferrari said that "the magazine springs from a passion/obsession that Maurizio and I have in common. Each picture springs from an idea, even a simple one, and then becomes a complex orchestration of people who build tableaux vivants. This project is also a sort of mental outburst." -- publisher's statement Good. Light soiling and rubbing to covers.

'Maurizio Cattelan's latest publication, Toilet Paper, follows his previous periodicals, Permanent Food and Charley, with what appears to be a slim folio of appropriated photographs. [.] TP contains no text, only a series of double-page spreads reminiscent of Permanent Food's wildly unpredictable mash-up of styles,' says Vince Aletti in Photograph Magazine.

[320] pp.; 15 x 21 cm.; glue bound; color; edition size unknown; unsigned and unnumbered; offset-printed; Artist''s book / exhibition catalogue edited and designed by Josh Smith and Todd Amicon published in conjunction with show held May 7 - December 31, 2009. Book accompanied the exhibition and expanded the show by introducing a new interpretation of the collection in book form ? another guest, another ghost. "Borrowing its title from one of Marcel Duchamp''s aphorisms, A GUEST + A HOST = A GHOST is constructed as a series of solo exhibitions, many of which have been conceived and installed by the participating artists themselves. A comprehensive presentation of some of the artists that Dakis Jouannou has been collecting in depth over the past few years, A GUEST + A HOST = A GHOST showcases ambitious works, signature pieces, and new productions by: Pawel Althamer, Maurizio Cattelan, Paul Chan, Nathalie Djurberg, Marcel Duchamp, Urs Fischer, Robert Gober, Jeff Koons, Paul McCarthy, Seth Price, Gregor Schneider, Kiki Smith, Kara Walker, Andro Wekua, and Franz West. In a series of symbiotic encounters and parasitic relationships, the solo presentations are often interrupted by incongruous presences or perturbed by unusual juxtapositions: drawings by Kara Walker surround a tomb by Urs Fischer; Maurizio Cattelan''s homeless man kneels down in front of Kiki Smith''s Bat Woman; Robert Gober''s haunted rooms incorporate Gregor Schneider''s architectural fragments Seth Price''s vacuum figures face off a work by Jeff Koons. Each artwork turns into the ghostly reflection of its neighbor, making it impossible to distinguish hosts from guests, friendly creatures from menacing shadows. The exhibition is organized by the Deste Foundation with Massimiliano Gioni as curatorial advisor." -- from book''s forward. Text in English.
