Wade Guyton rose to prominence in the mid-2000s with a landmark series of abstract paintings composed of simple forms and letters printed on canvas. Running the canvas through a commercial inkjet printer, Guyton stretched the device beyond its capacity to the point of failure, embedding the limits of a digital future onto the surfaces of his paintings.

“George Washington” at the Art Institute of Chicago, 1979 and 2005
Michael Asher
Published by Yale University Press, New Haven, 2006, 96 pp. (colour & b/w ill.), 17.5 × 24 cm, English
Price: €29 (Out of stock)

In a 1979 exhibition at the Art Institute of Chicago, American conceptual artist Michael Asher, known for his site-specific work that investigates the relationship between a piece of art and its place of display, relocated a 20th-century bronze cast of Jean-Antoine Houdon’s famous marble George Washington (1785–91) from the museum’s front steps to an interior gallery. In placing the work in a new context, Asher sought to make the viewer aware of usually invisible institutional practices–the categorisation of works of art, methods of installation, and the criteria for assigning aesthetic value.

Installation
Julie Ault, Martin Beck
Published by Verlag der Buchhandlung Walther König, Köln, 2006, 96 pages (colour & b/w ill.), 23 × 28 cm, English / German
Price: €36

Produced on the occasion of the exhibition Julie Ault, Martin Beck: Installation at Secession, Vienna, 22 September–12 November, 2006.

The exhibition consisted of an arrangement of individually and collaboratively authored installation fixtures, arenas, and works that functioned as the display architecture produced specifically for the Secession’s space.

The vocabulary inscribed by Félix González-Torres’ series of photographs Untitled (Natural History)—Patriot, Historian, Ranchman, Scientist, Soldier, Humanitarian, Author, Conservationist, Naturalist, Scholar, Explorer, and Statesman parenthesized the exhibition. The photographs were hung on the gallery’s permanent walls.

Art of The Eighties and Seventies
Michael Stevenson
Published by Revolver Publishing, Berlin, 2006, 96 pages (colour & b/w ill.), 24 × 32 cm, English / German
Price: €28

Produced on the occasion of Michael Stevenson’s 2006 exhibition, Art of the Eighties and Seventies at the Städtisches Museum Abteiberg, Mönchengladbach, referencing both Hans Hollein’s postmodern design of the museum and the 1978 Tehran gallery exhibition ‘Gold Bricks’, on short display during the outbreak of the revolution – a sculptural work by Armenian artist Zadik Zadikian which disappeared without a trace through looting. This exhibition was the first and only show of a gallery that Toni Shafrazi, who later became successful in New York, opened in Tehran in 1978.
