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 groupÂ’s fascination for these pictorial non-fiction books comes from the need to find images that exist on the fringe of regular commercial photo books. ItÂ’s only in this area that itÂ’s possible to find images with an uncontrived quality. WhatÂ’s noticeable from these publications is that thereÂ’s a thin line between being terrible and being awesome. This constant tension makes the books interesting. ItÂ’s 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)

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)

Know Thy Instrument / A Lecture (AI Split Editions #1)
AU$50.00 Read MoreAdd to cartBruce McClure; Hollis Frampton
Milan: Atelier Impopulaire, 2014.“Atelier Impopulaire Split #1 consists of an original text by Bruce McClure, an architect and performer based in New York. It is titled Know Thy Instrument, and based on a lecture given by Hollis Frampton on 30 October 1968, then published as A Lecture. Both with his text and projection performance, McClure aims at reflecting upon the body/technology dynamics, the relation with the whole projection apparatus, and the implications deriving from the removal of some of its parts. This all results in a modification of its mechanical structure, thus provoking a systemic abstraction of the obscurity/light duality in the guise of sound patterns.” (publisher’s blurb)

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)
