Long out of print, this seminal collection of essays and photographs are by artist, theorist and filmmaker, Allan Sekula. Originally published by the Nova Scotia College of Art and Design in 1984, in these essays and images Sekula sought to portray the inextricable bond between labour and material culture, drawing deeply on Marxist theory to argue passionately for a collective model of progress. Sekula taught at California Institute of Arts (CalArts) from 1985 until his death in 2013, and from that insider's position he critiqued photography and the circumstances of its production and consumption, exposing what the medium failed to represent—women, labourers, minorities and the institutional structures that reinforce cultural biases.

Allan Sekula (1951–2013) was an American artist, whose work spans multiple media: long form photographic series (Aerospace Folktales, 1973; School as a Factory,1980; War Without Bodies, 1991/96), critical texts (The Body and the Archive, 1986 and Debating Occupy, 2012) and film (The Forgotten Space, 2012).

This profoundly great exhibition catalog from Plötzlich diese Übersicht  (Suddenly This Overview) (1981) represents the first major collaboration between artists Fischli & Weiss. It's a spectacular book, satisfying in the way many of the works are, and, we suspect, the way the exhibition was. Plates of their miniature, unfired clay sculptures, that have insanely straightforward captions like "Marco Polo shows the Italians spaghetti, brought back from China, for the first time" and "Lois Lane drinks coffee with Clark Kent and doesn't sense that he's Superman" and "Travelling Hedgehog." Fourth edition of 2000.  

So good at taking the everyday object and making it fun to look at, absorbing to consider, hypnotized by its ordinariness that you, the viewer are responsible for taking into the stratosphere. The duo began this series Polyurethane Objects in 1982, sculpting and carving readymade replicas of the objects that passed through their studio. The plates are sequenced by Mr. Fischli, and evoke a funny poetry of the mundane. You can flip through this book, or really sit and consider each page. Either way, you'll see it like new each time.

Provence (FR) is "an eight-issue magazine dedicated to hobbies," (P-R-O-V-E-N-C-E). Mostly informal in its writing style, but the rhythm and approach to its design and primary content is unpredictable with each issue. Printed with a high-gloss cover stock that gives a serious dash of elan, its interior pages reflect a calculated chaos of ideas that pull from the best traditions of low magazine culture. There's a sense of the daily life, extrapolated into the heady impacts of visual culture on it; also the other way around. A stellar roster of writers, artists, and friends contribute.

We decided to stock this particular issue because of a story with/by/on Ghislain Mollet-Vieville, critic, collector, and "art agent" of conceptual and minimal art. His style (and the man has style) of organizing and showing is quite amazing for its ability to embody the complexities of the work he lives and promotes. Many other fascinating stories are also in this issue, recollections that are revelatory through a personal experience with something small, or big. There's a lot about fashion (Takeji Hirakawa interview), or mode, maybe, in this one. Hard to say.

Creating a space where you're surrounded by good, soft scent that feels naturally occurring is an almost impossible task. Incense can be too smoky, water diffusers quickly get moldy, candles burn super fast and are pricey.

These ceramic diffusers are a different animal. Squeeze a few drops of your favorite oils on the porous ceramic vessel created by sculptor Sang Geun Jeon (전상근). As it soaks in, the scent is gently dispersed. Over time, the layering of scent permeates the surface, and you'll have a low-level, pleasantly constant bouquet in your room.

Diffuser measures 4" x 3.15". Diffuser oil comes in 15ml bottle. Ooooof scent notes: cedar, sandalwood, musk, vanilla. Includes ceramic vessel (two elements), diffuser oil, felt packaging.

Made by Scanlan for his 2009 exhibition at castillo/corrales, the artist has re-conceived formative economic texts by Thorstein Veblen, Joseph Schumpeter, Milton Friedman, and Edward Said as a kind of epic poem. The original essays range from anti-capitalist analyses to colonialism to the advent of American big business, newly contextualized by Scanlan to address instead the concerns of artists and the state of creative production now. By making these small, significant alterations, Scanlan shifts points—what would it mean to discuss contemporary culture in purely economic terms, think of "markets" as neighbors, or the artist as entrepreneur? A fresh, lyrical approach to subject matter that's often stubbornly pushed to wayside. Edition of 500.
