Heath Course Pak
AU$60.00 Read MoreAdd to cartTan Lin
Denver: Counterpath, 2012.“Like its predecessor, HEATH (plagiarism/outsource), Heath Course Pak exists somewhere between a Project Gutenberg version of Samuel Pepys Diary and a minute-to-minute news feed and blog of Heath Ledger’s death. Sad, appropriated, lyrical and confused, the book contains a brief history of recent performance art, a legal defense of plagiarism, the diary of a poetry workshop at the Asian American Writer’s Workshop, an MP3 protest song, and an examination of SMS and GMS technologies as distribution networks for human sadness. Multi-authored, and with numerous text blocks and photos, the revised edition contains 52 pages of new material, an interview, an annotated text, autographed photos of Jackie Chan and Heath Ledger, e-PostIts, COAs, and coffee/tea stains.” (publisher’s blurb)

Media Works
Read MoreIain Baxter
Toronto: Art Metropole, 1992.“The Baxters’ relationship to media and issues of media exploded in 1965 as one of the conceivers of “The Medium Is The Message”, a multi-media extravaganza involving artists of all disciples as well as Marshall McLuhan. In 1966 they began a flood of projects in non-art media such as business cards, letterhead, buttons, and the founding of the N.E THING CO. LTD. It reflects Canadian identity in terms of bureaucracy and everyday life. All images are in black and white.” (publisher’s blurb)

Terribly Awesome Photo Books
AU$150.00 Read MoreAdd to cartPaul Kooiker; Erik Kessels
[Gent]: Art Paper Editions, 2012.“For several years, Paul Kooiker and Erik Kessels have organized evenings for friends in which they share the strangest photo books in their collections. The books shown are rarely available in regular shops, but are picked up in thrift stores and from antiquaries. The groups fascination for these pictorial non-fiction books comes from the need to find images that exist on the fringe of regular commercial photo books. Its only in this area that its possible to find images with an uncontrived quality. Whats noticeable from these publications is that theres a thin line between being terrible and being awesome. This constant tension makes the books interesting. Its also worth noting that these tomes all fall within certain categories: the medical, instructional, scientific, sex, humour or propaganda. Paul Kooiker and Erik Kessels have made a selection of their finest books from within this questionable new genre.” (publisher’s blurb)
