La Poudre D'Escampette : La Véritable Histoire d'Albert, Employé du Gaz, Chanteur, Fou Voyageur
4 Taxis: Michel Aphesbero and Danielle Colomine
Bordeaux, France: 4 Taxis. 2004
La Poudre D'Escampette (meaning "to leave quickly"), tells the story of Albert, lead singer of the rock band Memory Stick, as he hops on a train leaving Bordeaux to meet people and see places that he will not remember afterwards. Like Jean-Albert Dadas, who travelled from his home in Bordeaux in the 1800s to explore Europe on foot, Albert suffers from dromomania, a psychological condition in which people spontaneously depart their routine, travel long distances, and take up different identities and occupations. Albert's story is told through photographs arranged in a comic book format by 4 Taxis' Michel Aphesbero and Danielle Colomine. With text exclusively in French.

Juvenilia
Ole John Aandal
Oslo, Norway: Teknisk Industri. 2009
Juvenilia is a collection of photographic images originally taken by teenagers and uploaded to the Internet, where they caught the attention of artist Ole John Aandal. Printed as snapshot-sized color images, most have been enlarged, giving them a dreamlike blurriness or pixelation that suggests still images from television or film. As a group, they succinctly and poetically convey the short and incredibly fraught and fetishized liminality between child and adulthood. The images are accompanied by texts by Edy Poppy, Susan Bright, David Bate, Nathalie Herschdorfer, Eva Løveid Møster, and Ole John Aandal.

0 To 9 : The Complete Magazine : 1967-1969
Vito Acconci, Bernadette Mayer
Brooklyn, NY: Ugly Duckling Presse : Lost Literature Series. 2006
Self-published from 1967–1969 by Vito Acconci and Bernadette Mayer, 0 To 9 originally appeared in seven inexpensive, mimeographed, staple-bound issues that were sold for a dollar an issue. Although democratically conceived, the original issues ultimately were printed in small runs of between 100 and 350 copies. Very different from conventional art and poetry magazines from the period in terms of content, design and distribution, 0 To 9 consisted mostly of original, language or idea-based contributions by artists and poets, establishing a new kind of “dematerialized,” do-it-yourself exhibition context beyond the existing official gallery and magazine system.
Highly regarded, yet rarely seen, New York-based 0 To 9 gave a home to some of the most experimental and innovative artists and writers of its time—almost all of whose work consisted of experiments in language: Vito Acconci, Robert Barry, Ted Berrigan, Clark Coolidge, John Giorno, Dan Graham, Michael Heizer, Kenneth Koch, Sol LeWitt, Lee Lozano, Jackson Mac Low, Bernadette Mayer, Adrian Piper, Bern Porter, Yvonne Rainer, Jerome Rothenberg, Aram Saroyan, Robert Smithson, Alan Sondheim, Hannah Weiner, Lawrence Weiner, and Emmett Williams were among the more than seventy contributors.

Rita Ackermann : Under Pressure from 2006 to 2007
Rita Ackermann
Zurich, Switzerland: Nieves. 2008
Under Pressure from 2006 to 2007 was published on the occasion of Hungarian artist, musician, and performer Rita Ackermann’s inclusion in the 2008 Whitney Biennial. It is a collection of recent collage work in which Ackermann deftly combines newspaper clippings, paintings, drawings, and images of women throughout art history to create powerful totems of female sexuality and physicality. Writing in The New York Times, Roberta Smith described the collage works thus: “Ms. Ackermann is equally at home with scissors or ballpoint pen; with finely rendered figures and poetic phrases or words and images clipped from newspapers and magazines; and with clogged compositions or spare ones. Women--as victors, victims or silent witnesses--appear in all situations.”
