Soft cover. Condition: New. 1st Edition. Three friends hang out and share a long and unremarkable conversation about getting dressed, headaches, ticks, compression fantasies, surgery, and personal aspirations, among other things. When two of the friends go home for the night, the remaining one watches TV, dances, and takes apart his face in front of a giant mirror. Originally a play, Sorcerer is a book about the pleasures of being together and being alone. The characters find contentment in each other's company, conversing in the placid, eerie rhythms of a sitcom in which conflict never arises. Unease is exported to furniture, gadgets, and bodily movements. The result is a counterintuitive kind of realism, lying somewhere between the procedural and the miraculous. There's levitation.

Soft cover. Condition: New. Novelty Theory is the fiery debut collection of poetry by Caspar Heinemann. "Caspar Heinemann has written an anthem for alien beloveds everywhere, in the time before rising up and where the "pre-nothings" burn up as soon as you touch them. Reading this book burst adhesions in my outlook, which is what I want (always.) A book without an afterwards or a before, Novelty Theory occupies an intense present that does not console its readers. Can poetry be a form of cultural revenge?" Bhanu Kapil.

Soft cover. Condition: New. 1st Edition. Limited numbered edition of 500. Apropos of Van Gogh, magic and spells: all the people who, for two months now, went to see the exhibition of his works at the Musée de l Orangerie, are they really sure they remember everything they did and all that happened to them every evening of the months of February, March, April and May 1946? Was there not a certain evening when the atmosphere of the air and the streets became liquid, gelatinous, unstable, and when the light from the stars and the heavenly vault disappeared? And Van Gogh who painted the café in Arles was not there. But I was in Rodez, which means, still on earth, while all the residents of Paris must have felt, for one night, very close to leaving it. A new English language translation and the first time this essay has been available as a single publication. All books are sent signed and tracked.

With its focus extending from his novels to his work in film, art and performance, this illuminating collection of seven texts drawn from encounters and conversations with Pierre Guyotat over a period of close to thirty years explores his driving preoccupations and experimentations, with corporeality and vision, conflict and warfare, sex and the entity of language, activism and revolution, hallucination and aberration.

Artists Reba Maybury and Lucy McKenzie dissect power and desire in a provocative conversation that probes the material erotic, appropriation, and sex. In Pervert or Detective?, artists Reba Maybury and Lucy McKenzie dissect power, desire, and subversion in a provocative conversation. Maybury, who integrates her work as a political dominatrix into her artistic practice, manipulates dynamics of control, compelling her male submissives to create art under her direction, only to claim it as her own. Through confession and humiliation, she dismantles notions of authorship, masculinity, and labor. McKenzie, known for her intricate trompe l'oeil paintings and conceptual installations, similarly blurs boundaries?between art and commerce, and authenticity and illusion. Her work challenges power structures and exposes the unstable nature of representation. Maybury and McKenzie, through an expansive discussion with French art critic Marie Canet, interrogate the logic of seduction and domination, pushing against rigid binaries to probe the material erotic, appropriation, and transformation. With an introduction by curators Fredi Fischli and Niels Olsen, an afterword by writer Susan Finlay, and extensive reading and viewing lists, Pervert or Detective? offers a compelling exchange between artists committed to unsettling the familiar and redefining artistic agency.

Soft cover. Condition: New. 1st Edition. Perhaps it was not something he knew. And leaving it, and then coming back to it, and at the edge of the writing, always having to write, as if his paradise hadn t the ripeness to affirm itself. With one exception, and that was not what she said, my love, o my love, come with me, this way. That fragile moment, that absolute fall into what, all of a sudden, that moment, that fraction of the instant, that momentariness, falls into here, and here is the one thing to try to relate, to attempt, and yet these words would disappear when transforming the ways and the leaves on the memory. To turn all into the formulations of what is somehow an accident, an opening moment, opened, and where the room is reflected, the lid is inlaid with a memory, a falling through that which is removed, that which would play and be able to come back through the sides, through what ought to be, allowing us to ponder the obscure, the less than clear, the clarity that fights between thought and what would continue to work, to warm and comfort itself, to be the passion through which comes the notion, singing in its own language, something that would appear, disappear, as on the outside, as outside the image, no one there either from or there to. A fragmentary existence, a fraction of itself, what is best to be scuttled. - Paul Buck, from 'Marthe, Dear Marthe (Nakedness)'.

Soft cover. Condition: New. No Jacket. 2nd Edition. Devised as a way to indulge in their interest in literature and explore the parallels between systematic painting and formulaic writing, the artists Lucy McKenzie and Alan Michael present their collection of crime stories Unlawful Assembly. First published in private limited edition it was intended as a cheap holiday read to titillate and entertain summer visitors to the Mediterranean island of Stromboli, and as a piece of site-specific work; the location of the action and the place in which it is read being the same. The Unlawful Assembly cast of characters are united by narcissism, ineffectuality and paranoia, and like fast food s ratio of fat, salt and sugar to protein, these stories confront pathology in a similarly consumable (and cynical) package of calibrated sex, violence and humour. Lucy McKenzie and Alan Michael have familiarised themselves with the methodologies of illusionistic painting, trompe l oeil and photorealism respectively. The visual art subsequently generated by Unlawful Assembly includes work by Josephine Pryde, with whom the artists collaborated to produce this second edition s cover image.

Soft cover. Condition: New. No Jacket. 1st Edition. John Knight Cabinet London 2013 Texts by Ray Mckenzie and Pedro de Llano Soft cover 20cm x 23 cm, 25pp 14 colour and 26 b&w plates Layout and typesetting in Bembo Translation Martin Dale Printed by Donahue Printing , Los Angeles Design JBMT Edition of 1000 copies This catalogue has been printed in relation to the exhibition Quiet Quality, which took took place in two sites, Cabinet Gallery London London 10 October 17 November 2012 and the Frieze Art Fair London 11 14 October 2012 The format of the book is consistent with the open ended series which the artist initiated in 1986, and of which to date approximately ten have been published. They are in many ways conspicuously all the same. Nine-by-eight-inch, staple bound, with white covers bearing the title of whatever project they encapsulate and typically featuring a die-cut hole as their cover design, which reveals an image beneath. The inside covers are printed with a repeating logo pattern, which also refers specifically to the hosting institution or to another aspect of the project. The internal structure, too, is consistent. The font used is Times Roman or more recently Bembo, and the content is organized into a title page, a list of acknowledgments often in reverse alphabetical order (Z-A), an introductory text, and one or more critical essays on your work accompanying reproductions of both past and current projects. At the end is a very short biography listing only the year or city of your birth (1945, Los Angeles or Hollywood) and where you are currently residing. Then, conspicuously, you never list your exhibition history, but instead offer a "Selected Bibliography" of articles and essays about your work. Seeing any one of these catalogs on its own, the design is innocuous enough that all these particularities recede beneath the informative capability of the catalog, but after twenty-plus years, this consistency is quite striking. Anyone even remotely familiar with your working methods can assume that this repetition of uniformity is anything but arbitrary. Jay Sanders. From a conversation with the artist entitled Jay Sanders Reads John Knight originally published in Parkett 86 2009, and included in October Files 16. All books are sent signed and tracked.

Soft cover. Condition: New. 1st Edition. The exhibition Atelier EB: Passer-by has an essential element of the fashion industry on the subject: the world of mannequins and displays. Since the surrealists took up the mannequin in the early 20th century, this object has established itself in the visual arts as a recurring motif. Lipscombe and McKenzie bring the individual disciplines of window display design to light, present radical thinkers and doers who have broken down the boundaries between art and window display design, and create a convincing narrative that brings ethnography, sculpture, puppets and world exhibitions together with our digital future. The catalog is a meticulously elaborated study of the hierarchies that traditionally separate art and design, and thereby questions the boundary between commercial staging and non-commercial exhibitions. ***** Atelier EB: Passer-by examines an essential facet of the fashion industry: the world of mannequins and retail display. Since the Surrealists took them up in the early twentieth century, mannequin have been an enduring motif within fine art. Lipscombe and McKenzie un-pack the disciplines of window dressing, look to radical thinkers and makers who dissolved the dividing line between fine art and commercial display, and piece together a compelling narrative that encompasses ethnography, statuary, dolls, the world fairs and our digital future. This catalog, like the traveling exhibition, is a meticulous and idiosyncratic study of the hierarchies which have historically separated the spheres of art and design, All books are sent signed and tracked.
