Red Flags, Joe Scanlan. 2009.
Paraguay Press.
Edition of 500.

Over the past several years, Joe Scanlan has read a lot of seminal economic texts and noticed that a strange thing kept happening: where the original authors were talking about absentee ownership, stagnating markets, colonialism and government subsidies, in the artist’s head he heard them talking about artists’ neighborhoods, Chelsea galleries, tae kwon do lessons, Jack Kerouac. Fascinated with these recurrent, uncontrollable synapses, Scanlan rewrote the texts as he heard them in his head and color-coded each alteration. Produced for his exhibition at castillo/corrales in May 2009, Joe Scanlan’s Red Flags contains four essays that the artist has refracted from original texts by Thorstein Veblen, Joseph Schumpeter, Milton Friedman and Edward Said, gathered in a slim, elegant book, beautifully designed by Francesca Grassi.

Spirit – Henry Roy, published by Gottlund Verlag

“Spirit is as subtle and intangible as a breath of air. It is an energy circulating between beings and things. It travels with light, winds, clouds or waves, it penetrates in stones, plants and animals. It affects humans, seizing control of their bodies, whose sentiments and sensuality he reveals. It manifests itself at the boundaries of the visible, in a dimension where only imagination can penetrate.” Henry Roy, Paris 2009.
