Barcelona: Actar / Macba, 1999. Small 4to in flexible hardcover as issued. 205 pages, richly illustrated, mainly in color. Text in both French and Catalan. Near fine clean copy with only light shelfwear to corners of cover. From the collection of John Hunov, with his neat bookmark at front innercover. Fine monograph on Hains’ work: hypnagogic photographs, abstract photos made through fluted glass in the late 1940s, under a Surrealist influence to his decollage works and more. Ribbed glass, cinema and letterist poetry, Nouveau Réalisme – the décollage (unpeeling) of torn posters: a turning point but also one “site” among many others – which he regularly revisited. Urban dérives (“drifts”) took him ever closer to Situationism and, after the ads and billboards, he next collected and displayed boarding fences from construction sites (palissades). The first time the term décollage appeared in print was in the Dictionnaire Abrégé du Surréalisme in 1938, it is usually used in the context of nouveau réalisme. The artists involved, Raymond Hains among them, often sought out sites with many layers of posters so that the process of décollage took on an archeological character and was seen as a means of uncovering historical information. They exhibited their ripped poster artworks as aesthetic objects and social documents. From 1949 Hains made work from posters that he tore from the walls of Paris. In 1963 the German artist Wolf Vostell appropriated the term, staging a series of happenings under the title Nein 9 Decollagen which involved television images which he had ‘décollé’ unstuck from the screen and re-presented.

Sternberg Press, 2014. Small paperback. 345 pages. Clean, seems unread. When workaday author John Barlow is asked to ghostwrite a novel about secretive tax havens, he assumes the job will be straightforward. Then he learns that his employers, Swedish conceptual artist duo Goldin+Senneby, want him to investigate Headless Ltd, a shadowy company with possible links to French philosopher Georges Bataille, famed for his fixation with human sacrifice. Barlow travels to Nassau, the mecca of offshore finance, to uncover the plot. He is not alone. A beautiful, mysterious woman is also seeking the truth about Headless-and about Barlow. One day the ghostwriter is happily posting to his travel blog; the next he is implicated in the decapitation of a police officer, consumed by the dark world of covert capitalism and secret societies. Barlow's probing becomes desperate. The more he grasps at the threads of the labyrinthine plot, the closer he comes to madness. Copublished with Tensta konsthall and Triple Canopy.

Publisher: Serpent's Tail, London, 2000. Squarish in softcover, as issued. XXXII, 231 pp. Illustrated. Very good clean copy. "n 1998, the Spice Girls were barred from the No. 1 spot by Run DMC. Rap is back. Rap is a form of music and spoken rhyme which first came to prominence in 1979 through The Sugarhill Gang's chart hit Rapper's Delight. Rap, along with all the other features of hip hop culture, originated in New York's Harlem and the South Bronx. This book takes hip hop culture as its central focus for an investigation of African-American rapping in all its forms. It begins with the music's African roots and ends with the global acceptance of rap as both commercial pop genre and voice of rage, a journey which encompasses West African griots, doo wop groups, jazz singers like Slim Gaillard, soul rappers from Millie Jackson to James Brown, old-school rappers Grandmaster Flash and Afrika Bambaataa, new-school rebels like Roxanne Shante and Run DMC, all the way to Public Enemy, De La Soul, NWA, the pop rap of MC Hammer and Vanilla Ice and the gangstas Tupac Shakur, Notorious BIG, Puff Daddy and Snoop Doggy Dog".

University of Chicago Press, 2014. Paperback. 179 pages. With illustrations. Fine clean copy. One of the most important avant-garde movements of postwar Paris was Lettrism, which crucially built an interest in the relationship between writing and image into projects in poetry, painting, and especially cinema. Highly influential, the Lettrists served as a bridge of sorts between the earlier works of the Dadaists and Surrealists and the later Conceptual artists. Off-Screen Cinema is the first monograph in English of the Lettrists. Offering a full portrait of the avant-garde scene of 1950s Paris, it focuses on the film works of key Lettrist figures like Gil J Wolman, Maurice Lemaître, François Dufrêne, and especially the movement’s founder, Isidore Isou, a Romanian immigrant whose “discrepant editing” deliberately uncoupled image and sound. Through Cabañas’s history, we see not only the full scope of the Lettrist project, but also its clear influence on Situationism, the French New Wave, the New Realists, as well as American filmmakers such as Stan Brakhage.

Durham & London: Duke University Press, 2015. 8vo. Paperback. XXI, 468 pp. Very good copy, unread. Microgroove continues John Corbett's exploration of diverse musics, with essays, interviews, and musician profiles that focus on jazz, improvised music, contemporary classical, rock, folk, blues, post-punk, and cartoon music. Corbett's approach to writing is as polymorphous as the music, ranging from oral history and journalistic portraiture to deeply engaged cultural critique. Corbett advocates for the relevance of "little" music, which despite its smaller audience, is of enormous cultural significance. He writes on musicians as varied as Sun Ra, P.J. Harvey, Koko Taylor, Steve Lacy, and Helmut Lachenmann; and among other topics, he discusses recording formats, investigates the relationship between music and visual art, dance, and poetry, and with Terri Kapsalis, analyzes the role of female orgasm sounds in contemporary popular music. Above all, Corbett privileges the importance of improvisation; he insists on the need to pay close attention to “other” music, and celebrates its ability to open up pathways to new ideas, fresh modes of expression, and unforeseen ways of knowing.

Princeton Architectural Press, 2003. 8vo in wraps as issued. 256 pages, richly illustrated in color. Text in English. Fine copy. A book about radio amateurs and their acknowledgement cards, a beguiling book designed by graphic design genius Paul Sahre: "Jerry Powell began his ham radio operation in 1929 and with the exception of the World War II years (when government forbade ham radio operators to take to the air) he was in continuous communication with people all over the world until his death in 1999. This book tells the story of Powell and the people he met. It is a record of one man's contacts during times of war, depression, peace and floods. Whenever a communication is established for the first time, the recipient of the communication by law must send an acknowledgement card, called a QSL. These QSLs are unique to each individual, it is their stamp and their calling card. This book brings together over 500 QSLs received by Jerry and provides commentary on each one. The authors radioed many of his more recent contacts to get Jerry Powell's story - and the story of ham radio."

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.
