The Worst of Gordon Pym Continued...
(Collector's Set)
Peter Crump, Ian Cooper, curators
Brooklyn, NY: Wolves. 2001

This set of postcards by young artists was produced on the occasion of the exhibition of the same name at Printed Matter in October 2001. Crump and Cooper each invited seven friends – who happen to be artists – to create an artwork in a standard postcard format. In turn, each of the initial artists invited an artist friend to contribute a piece as well. Thus the show was curated not on the basis of the quality of the work, but rather on a network of friendships and acquaintances. The result is a lively and varied selection of artist made post cards, smartly packaged in a golden stationary box. Each card is signed by the artist, and the box is numbered in an edition of 125.

The Poster Project
Devon Costello, Ilya Lipkin, Lutz Bacher, Justin Lowe, Jonah Freeman, Lovett/Codagnone, Scott Hug
New York, NY: D. Costello. 2006

The Poster Project was created by artists Devon Costello and Ilya Lipkin to provide a forum for collaboration in a zone removed from the commercial art market—a neutral space. The curators believe that the poster, as an object and a destination for work, is an accessible and cheap non-product that allows artists to engage in social spheres without being subject to its market economy. That said, The Poster Project is a boxed edition that contains twenty posters that are meant to be hung, strung, and pasted—infiltrating and passing through the public sphere.

The Poster Project showcases the work of Lutz Bacher, Alisa Baremboym, Ann Bottcher, Kathe Burkhart, Jan Christensen, Devon Costello, Greg Edwards, Grupe, Kent Hendrickson, Scott Hug, Timothy Hull, Josh Kline, Lovett/Codagnone, Ilya Lipkin, Justin Lowe & Jonah Freeman, Justin Matherly, Michael Paulson, Robert Schmaltz, Ania Siwanowicz, Erika Somogyi, and Hanna Weislander.

"Black Mirror"- Originally intended for North Drive Press for their exclusive "Little Brown Artbox" for Bloomingdales, the Black Mirror was rejected over legal concerns. The hand-held hand-made mirror is made of wood, and a petri dish filled with oil-clay: a material composed of recycled motor oil, beeswax and petroleum jelly.

Kiss Me Quick Before I Change My Mind : A Diary of Our Mutual Experience in Love and Loss
Diane Dispar
Valatie, NY: Valence Press. 2003

Designed to look like a word-a-day calendar, this artist's book is a self proclaimed experiment in writing. It is also an experiment in editing, sequencing and consequently in reading. The pages are dated 12/05/03 through 12/04/04 and present the artist's writings, citations and found images in a disjointed compellingly personal narrative that crosses the terain of memory, desire and dislocation one day at a time.

Gefundene Identität [Found Identity]
Texte zur Kunst Edition No. 75
Elmgreen & Dragset
Berlin, Germany: Texte zur Kunst. 2009

Since the 1990s Berlin-based, Scandinavian collaborators Michael Elmgreen and Ingar Dragset gained an international reputation for their "Powerless Structures," an ongoing series of installations and performances in which the space of the exhibition is analyzed in terms of its multi-faceted meanings and functions. Questions regarding the sexual connotations of private and public spheres are at the center of Emgreen & Dragset’s conceptual artistic practice. For Texte zur Kunst, the two produced an artists’ edition that forms part of their artistic reflection and curatorial mise-en-scène of the private rooms of collectors at the current 53rd Venice Biennale. In "The Collectors", Emgreen & Dragset installed their own pieces and those by befriended artists in the fictitious residencies of A. Family and Mr. B at the Danish and Nordic Pavilion in the Giardini to develop a narrative about the relation between art, design, taste, and sexual identity in times of crisis. The edition object Gefundene Identit&$228;t [Found Identity], consists of a wallet containing personal belongings of an unknown person. Parts of this portable collection are a letter, a photograph, a money bill, a condom and other objects of everyday life. Altogether, they only give a vague hint at the identity of their owner.
