Revenge publishing? A new genre? Or has it been around since writers first put pen to paper? Isn’t all writing to some degree a means to avenge an oversight or a rejection, intending to set the record straight? A number of pieces in this collection which were commissioned, accepted, and paid for, never appeared for one reason or another, whether devious or common: books don’t always cross the finish line. Years go by. Patience evaporates. Corrected Proofs aims to seek remedy. In addition to previously unpublished pieces, a number of essays and interviews were written specially for this collection: on Lutz Bacher and Charles Ray, with Arnold J. Kemp. There are heroes and villains, from the assassins John Wilkes Booth and Lee Harvey Oswald, to Felix Gonzalez-Torres, Cady Noland and Steven Parrino. Here the reader encounters usual suspects in unexpected context—Marcel Duchamp, Ed Ruscha and Andy Warhol—and artists recently rediscovered—Bob Smith and Stephen Varble—alongside Lee Lozano, the January 6 insurrection, and The Fall.

The Los Angeles architect Rudolph Schindler is regarded today as one of the central figures of the Modern movement. Trained in Vienna under Otto Wagner and Adolf Loos, Schindler then migrated to Los Angeles under the apprenticeship of Frank Lloyd Wright. Surrounded by a clientele of progressive thinkers in the emerging intellectual culture of Hollywood, Schindler created a radical and intensely personal architectural conception, resulting in some of the seminal works of the twentieth century.

Founded by Curandi Katz in 2011, The Pacifist Library is a nomadic library and framework for interventions that fosters the exchange of radical ideas in public spaces, art institutions, and libraries. It has appeared at venues such as Kunsthalle Düsseldorf, CCA Glasgow, Flux Factory New York, the Sarajevo International Festival, and the NY Art Book Fair at MoMA PS1, among others.

This bibliography, compiled and edited by Ian Clewe, highlights The Pacifist Library’s collection of books and fanzines on nonviolent social change.

A founding member of the radical electronic improvising group Musica Elettronica Viva, since the early 1970s Curran has developed an idiosyncratic body of solo work that occupies a unique position in the post-Cageian experimental tradition.

Natural History consists entirely of field recordings from Curran’s archive, arranged as a series of ‘still lifes’, sometimes layered, but without any additional processing. Sounds recorded over the course of nearly twenty years, at Curran’s home in Rome or while traveling: constructions sites, insects, children’s toys, a piano being tuned, foghorns, lovemaking, a singing neighbour.

“For more than 35 years, Jochen Lempert’s photographs have stood out as a singular oeuvre within contemporary art. The trained biologist’s gaze is marked by constant wonder. At first, and not without irony, at the history and forms (and warps) of our cultural fascination for the inexhaustible potential of plants and animals. He is increasingly interested in the phenomena of perception and how they are translated into images, in the life forms of flora and fauna and their analogies to his own creative process… Following the publication of Phenotype in 2013 by Verlag der Buchhandlung Walther König, Natural Sources is Jochen Lempert’s second major artist’s book.”—Florian Ebner
