Artist Oscar Tuazon’s pamphlet is the first in The Social Life of the Book series, Paraguay Press’s collection of commissioned texts dealing with books, and how they engage with the circulation of ideas and the agency of social situations. “I was raised making books” recalls Tuazon at the beginning of this essay, that addresses the very oft-announced death of the book at the same time as it envisions the conditions of its rebirth. This unflinching reflection on how publishing has changed, also develops as a speculation on the artist’s own approach to sculpture.

Artist Avigail Moss’s pamphlet is the fourth in The Social Life of the Book series, Paraguay Press’s collection of commissioned texts dealing with books, and how they engage with the circulation of ideas and the agency of social situations. Moss examines Marianne Wex’s Let’s Take Back Our Space: “Female” and “Male” Body Language as a Result of Patriarchal Structures, a book of photographs tied to second-wave feminism in Germany during the 1970s and the larger international movement at the time.

Produced on the occasion of the first retrospective of Brazilian artist Hélio Oiticica (1937–1980) at Witte de With Center for Contemporary Art, Rotterdam, 23 February–26 April, 1992.

Oiticica is widely regarded as one of Brazil’s leading artists of the twentieth century and a touchstone for much contemporary art made since the 1960s, primarily through his freewheeling, participatory works of art, performative environments, avant-garde films and abstract paintings.
