“The Chilean people began to ask these and other questions in revolutionary Chile 1970. How To Read Donald Duck was first published as Para Leer al Pato Donald in Chile 1971, and during the fascist period it was banned and burned there with other literature. A product of the political struggle, the book is a profound and imaginative critique of the sacred cow of children’s culture: the Disney Myth. With a new preface by the authors, an updated introduction by David Kunzle, an annotated bibliography of left writings on cultural imperialism and the comics, and an appendix by John Shelton Lawrence on the U.S. government’s censorship and the legal-political right to criticise Disney.” Published by Seth Sieglaub’s imprint International General.

With a text by Jacques Henric, translated by Masashi Ogura.

Pierre Klossowski was a French writer, translator and artist. A prolific late in life artist who was internationally acclaimed for his writings and translations on Sadeian erotic expression, Klossowski is a pivotal yet underrepresented figure in the history of 20th-century art, often overshadowed by his earlier literary work and his younger brother, Balthus. Primarily working with pencil and charcoal, the laborious drawings he produced reference a variety of subjects, including Greek mythology, Sadean decadence, medieval fantasy and sexualized scenarios involving a recurring female figure, Roberte. These imagined scenes depict a perplexing and intriguing array of mature, familiar and fantastical situations involving cartoonish human figures set in fictitious landscapes that uniquely relate back to the dystopic realities he creates.

Despite having only a brief artistic career, spanning from 1962 to 1967, Peter Roehr left behind him a prolific oeuvre of pioneering collages, photo and sound montages and films. Roehr developed a proto-conceptual practice borrowing from pop art and minimalism. His practice was based on the principle of serial organisation and montage, focusing on the effects produced by unvaried repetition.

Produced on the occasion of Richard Tuttle’s 1991 exhibition at the Institute of Contemporary Art, Amsterdam.
