Literary Text Production is not my Goal with drawings by Unica Zürn
Anne Krul
Published by A Tale of A Tub, Rotterdam, 2025, 48 pp. (b/w ill.), 12 × 21.5 cm, Dutch/English
Price: €9

Produced on the occasion of the exhibition anne Krul – ANAGRAMMA TICS with Tabea Nixdorff and Unica Zürn, at A Tale of A Tub, Rotterdam, 31 May–24 August, 2025.

ANAGRAMMA TICS takes the form of an unconventional retrospective, wherein the various facets and outputs of krul’s practice—anagram poetry, art making, education, organising, collaboration and intergenerational dialogue—will be on show for many for the first time. krul worked with artist and typographer Tabea Nixdorff, a pre-existing collaboration which has seen the pair produce new audio works while also translating krul’s anagram poems—a type of poetry made with the guiding principle that either each line or each verse is written with the same set of letters as all other lines or verses in the poem—into spatial installations and sculptures, building on their overlapping interests in poetry and found language, as well as the restrictions inherent to writing.

Designed by Tabea Nixdorff.

Rayograph (Card)
Man Ray
Published by Fotofolio, New York, date unknown, card (colour & b/w ill.), 15.2 × 10.8 cm, English
Price: €12

Rayograph is term invented by Man Ray, in which he merged his name with the word “photograph” to describe his particular approach to the technique of making photograms. As old as photography itself, photograms are photographic prints made by placing objects and other elements on photosensitive paper and exposing it to light, without the use of a camera.

Le témoin (Card)
Man Ray
Published by Art Unlimited, Amsterdam, card (colour & b/w ill.), 15 × 10.5 cm, English
Price: €16

Le témoin is a small sculpture Man Ray had made in 1941 and executed again in 1971. It was constructed from a cardboard box that had contained Man Ray’s favourite sweets, Calissons d’Aix. The artist stuck a glass marble inside it: touching the corner of the box causes the eye to flinch as if it were witness to its surroundings.
