Corrected Proofs: Previously Unpublished, Uncollected, Unwanted
Bob Nickas
Published by At Last Books, Copenhagen, 2023, 360 pp. (b/w ill.), 17 × 24 cm, English
Price: €35 (Temporarily out of stock)

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 In addition to previously unpublished pieces, a number of essays and interviews were written specially for this collection: on Lutz Bacher and Charles Ray, with Arnold J. Kemp.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.

A Shrine to Aphrodite
Philipp Gufler
Published by Hammann von Mier Verlag, München, 2023, 78 pp. with 16 silkscreen printed mirror papers (colour & b/w ill.), 22.5 × 29.7 cm, English/German
Price: €100

The human body is a central focus in Philipp Gufler’s mirror painting series. Looking at the work, the spectator is confronted with their own image. To make these works Gufler uses a silkscreen printing technique on mirrored glass in order to produce layers of translucent pigment.

“Gufler’s ‘mirrorical’ art passes through the looking glass; his spaces are traps for the gaze. The reflective surfaces and diaphanous scrims in his oeuvre function as projection screens and as obstacles in games of identification and disidentification; recognition and misrecognition; self-performance and self-alienation.“ Sven Lütticken. Designed by Sabo Day.
