The publication Mobil, autonom, vernetzt, Kritik und ökonomische Innovation in Ephemera der Konzeptkunst, 1966–1975 deals with the advertisements and exhibition announcements printed by Jan Dibbets, Adrian Piper, Daniel Buren and Eleanor Antin between 1966 and 1975. These ephemera—simultaneously works of art, advertising instruments, and documentations for artistic actions—are exemplary for the communication-based, flexible, and mobile practice of conceptual art. A 2015 interview with Barbara Preisig discussing ephemera can be found here.

Ici Non, Hier Nicht, Not Here #1
Christopher Knowles
Published by Kunstverein Langenhagen, Langenhagen, 2020, 12 pages (colour & b/w ill.), 23 × 29 cm, English
Price: €10

Ici Non, Hier Nicht, Not Here is a new publication series of the Kunstverein. The first issue is dedicated to the work of Christopher Knowles.

Ici Non, Hier Nicht, Not Here is an exhibition that uses the ‘paper space’ as an exhibition space. Its name is derived from a series of works by artist Remy Zaugg from 1995. This series consists out of small paintings with scarcely legible words that dialectically refer to the fact that images are physical, found in a specific place, and yet also ubiquitous.

Concept: Noor Mertens, Bart de Baets, Lea Schürmann. Designed by Bart de Baets.

Collected Works
Frances Stark
Published by Verlag der Buchhandlung Walther König, Köln, 2008, 160 pages (colour & b/w ill.), 21.5 × 27.8 cm, English
Price: €37 (Out of stock)

The Los Angeles-based artist and art writer Frances Stark has gathered an international cult following for her prolific prose and her smart, honest and intimate artwork. This engaging artist’s book is conceived as a companion piece to Stark’s Collected Writings 1993–2003, fashioning itself as a graphic counterpart that draws from the artist’s paintings, collages, drawings, videos, poetry and more, from 1993 to the present. Through provocative and diaristic text notes printed alongside Stark’s sometimes humorous, often self-scrutinizing images, Collected Works addresses the paradox of reproducing visual art that is essentially non-photogenic by nature–because of its tactility, detail or scale.
