Stolen Works of Art by  Olivier Lebrun

This Catalogue, is a compilation of 124 works of art collected on the Interpol website on may 21st, 2010. They’re classified by Interpol as “Recent Stolen Works of Art” and reproduced here with their administrative number as caption. The process of transformation from stolen artworks to low-file jpeg reproductions, means a dematerialization of the physical pieces which exist now as a data collection. The publication uses the replication of these datas, as a tool for reinterpretation of a collection and therefore, an exhibition in this 130×200mm space

#11 Conversations with poets who refuse to speak

Features a heady mix of words and images that give voice to silence. So much has been said about speech: speaking up, speaking for oneself, not being allowed to speak, speaking for the other who’d rather speak for self, but very little is said about the virtue of silence. So much said about making oneself visible, but little said about mining the rich depths of absence. This issue is about silence, disappearing oneself as act. Though it’s often one of abdication, could it be defiance, resistance even? – a challenging idea, in a culture where struggle about seeking exposure, giving voice, making visible and all that stuff…

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.
