On the Self-Reflexive Page, Louis Lüthi

The subject of this book is the page, and the pages reproduced in it are taken from works of literature (or, in some cases, art books that derive specifically from literature). Lüthi presents them thematically, resulting in a typology of self-reflexive pages: Black Pages, Blank Pages, Drawing Pages, Photography Pages, Text Pages, Number Pages, and Punctuation Pages. In literature, such devises are often used as a counterpoint to what has preceded or what will follow in the narrative.

A not B, Uta Eisenreich

Book with recent photographic work by Uta Eisenreich focussing on the shortcomings of our cognitive tool-kit. A NOT B walks us along the fine line between common sense and uncommon nonsense in a realm reminiscent of pre-school books, assessment tests and optical illusions.

1:1:1 # 1 Eylem Aladogan Niessen and de Vries Drukkerij Mart. Spruijt

1:1:1 is a series of publications in which printing matter converges with the subject matter, the image with the text, the reproduction with the original and the designer and the printer with the client. An artist, designer or musician is the point of departure for each of the numbers in this series, and the subject of conversation is the basis for investigating graphic design and printing as a form of expression.

Alpine Star by Ron Jude

The source of the photographs in Alpine Star is the weekly newspaper from the artist’s hometown in Central Idaho. The poetic element of these images – that unnamed, abstract subtext found in every photograph – is inflated here through the process of subtle manipulation and nuanced sequencing. While offering a world of loss and isolation, the pictures also suggest the cross-pollination of personal history and collective memory.
