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.

The Meaning of Everything, vol. 1 Ayreen Anastas & Rene Gabri. 2009.
Paraguay Press
Edition of 500.

The first manifestation of a long-term creative collaboration between Ayreen Anastas (b. Bethlehem, Palestine) and Rene Gabri (b. Tehran, Iran) in the form of a series of artists books, The Meaning of Everything. Vol.1 was conceived in Paris during the summer of 2008 and the artists residency at castillo/corrales. Entirely handwritten, it presents a series of notes, quotes, thoughts and drawings about the ever-changing conditions of the blurring of art and life. The book is also a script which can open up to events, acts, performances, videos, texts, statements or diners. Anastas and Gabri are two of the primary organizers of the 16 Beaver group, an artist community that functions as a social and collaborative space on 16 Beaver street in New York, where the group hosts panel discussions, film series, artist talks, radio recordings, reading groups and more.

Zeitgeist, Variations and Repetitions – Save As… Publications

A collection of artworks and essays we feel admiration for and which have an influence to most of the ones who work today.
Inevitably, the ideas of “appropriation” and “appropriation as a resource” are very present. Not only due to the affinity we feel with it, also due to the nature of publishing itself: “to reproduce” or “to quote”.

Zeitgesit.Variations & Repetitions contains contributions by Ignasi Aballí, Adicciones porquesí, Javier Aramburu, Martí Anson, David Bestué / Marc Vives, Rafel G. Bianchi, Luís Bisbe, Luz Broto, Anne Collier, Fito Conesa, Creatures, Folch Studio, Ryan Gander, Dora García, Alex Gifreu, Felix Gonzalez-Torres, Rubén Grilo, Lilli Hartmann, Daniel Jacoby, Jeletón, Tamara Kuselman, Juan López, Martí Manen, Fran Meana, Jordi Mitjà, Mariona Moncunill, Jonathan Monk, Julia Montilla, Carme Nogueira, Miguel Noguera, Antonio Ortega, Tania Pardo, Gabriel Pericàs, Jack Pierson, Carles Ponsí, Job Ramos, María Ramió, Tere Recarens, Alex Reynolds, Xavier Ristol, Francesc Ruiz, Saladestar, Joan Saló, Dean Sameshima, Jorge Satorre, Manuel Segade, Gail Thacker, Ignacio Uriarte, Andrea Valdés, Azucena Vieites, Oriol Vilanova, Martín Vitaliti and Alicia Yáñez.
