Two Objects
\nTwo objects that may or may not go together.
\nTwo objects that are distinct, but related.
\nTwo objects roaming the earth in search of each other, like mythic lovers navigating the global network of book distribution, tracking, and sales<\/p>\n

Smaller Object
\nIn this volume, artist Joe Scanlan\u2019s magazine columns from the past fifteen years have been gathered as one long, picaresque narrative in which democracy plays the dishonest but amiable lead role, from the Lumi\u00e8re Brothers\u2019 use of their employees in the making of the first film to Tino Sehgal\u2019s use of museum visitors in the production of his art. As Scanlan writes: Once again we regress to the familiar, not on the basis of its merits but because it puts the most people at ease. However vexed we were by modernist ideology, the products resulting from the current consensus-based, consumer-driven service economy are really starting to depress me. I miss having to accept something whether I like it or not, if only for the bits of stunning genius that single-mindedness made possible. Consumer culture, where is thy victory? Product, where is thy sting?<\/p>\n

Larger Object
\nRemember
\nWhich begs the question
\nIt all started 100 years ago when
\nOn the one hand
\nOn the other hand
\nOf course
\nWhich reminds me
\nThat is why
\nSpeaking of stylists
\nMeanwhile
\nThat being said
\nI choose
\nOnce upon a time<\/p>\n
