Produced on the occasion of Dora Budor’s exhibition OLD WORLD at Galerie Molitor, Berlin, 14 April–24 June, 2023. Limited edition of 100. Text by Gianmaria Andreetta. Designed by Dora Budor and Dan Solbach.

The focus of Owens’ essay From Work to Frame, or, Is There Life After “The Death of the Author”? is how artistic production finds its conditions for success within a social universe, and therefore is an acknowledgement of conditions related to production and reception while incorporating an understanding of how authorship in artistic work can be realized. The shift goes, as the title announces, from the work to the frame, and at the same time to a determination of those conditions that make works appear as frames.

From Work to Frame was first published in English and Swedish in 1987 in the catalogue for the exhibition Implosion: A Postmodern Perspective at the Moderna Museet in Stockholm. As S*I*G #12, the text is published in English and in its first German translation, alongside a preface by Hannes Loichinger, who is editor of this issue.

Produced on the occasion of A work for no public audience at Castello di Rivoli Museo d’Arte Contemporanea, (Rivoli), Torino. Handbound artist book with a title by CAConrad. 6 images inset in French folded computer paper. Edition of 65 + 20 AP
