‘Fictitious entries’ are deliberately incorrect entries in reference works. Also known as Mountweazel, trap street, paper town, phantom settlement and nihilartikel. ‘Ghost words’ generally originate from a typographical or linguistic error. Once authoritatively published, a ghost word occasionally may be copied widely and enter legitimate usage.

Faux Pas. Selected Writings and Drawings (Expanded Edition)
Amy Sillman
Published by After 8 Books, Paris, 2022, 300 pp. (b/w ill.), 12 × 18.5 cm, English
Price: €20 (Out of stock)

A key figure in the New York art scene, Amy Sillman is renowned for her singular approach to painting and drawing. Her writings extend a practice that challenges traditions and theoretical frameworks with criticality and humor, and advocates subjectivity: she reevaluates Abstract Expressionism with a queer eye, explores the meanings of color and shape, and discusses in depth the work of other artists—from Delacroix (and Cézanne!) to Maria Lassnig to Carolee Schneemann to Laura Owens. In Faux Pas, a collection of her most recent essays, alongside her cartoons and original drawings, art—as personal as it is political—is a practice that responds to today’s struggles.
