Multimedia artist Cornelia Wyngaarden (CA) has made film, video, and sculpture on a number of subjects. Most prominent perhaps has been her explorations of queer identities, female subjectivity, and the disruptive potentialities behind various new media formats. Her use of literary figures and tentpoles alongside historical events and contexts have grown into an interesting new kind of magical realism, one that both confronts and exploits theoretical/formal institutions. This book is compiled of various ephemera and print material from her archive.

Edition of 300.

Arts for Living offers an alternative, multifaceted history of an iconic cultural institution, The Abrons Arts Center. Located in New York City’s Lower East Side, the center was designed by Prentice and Chan, Ohlhausen, and built during the crisis-ridden 1970s as a community art center with educational facilities for a local low-income population. A rare interview with architect Lo-Yi Chan that elucidates the design process as well as essays by Alan Moore on the East Village art scene that arose out of the 1970s fiscal crisis and Kim Förster on pedagogical programs in architecture for youth in New York are accompanied by a color-photo essay by Jason Fulford depicting the current social life of the arts center. Designed by Geoff Han, and including original archival documentation, Arts for Living is an important architectural case study of a public space designed to foster community life in a multiethnic, changing neighborhood.

Primary Information is reprinting the seminal book, Fantastic Architecture, making the book widely available for the first time since it was originally published: first in 1969 by Droste Verlag in German (with the title Pop Architektur) and later in 1970 by Something Else Press as Fantastic Architecture. Edited by Dick Higgins and Wolf Vostell, this artist’s book/anthology explores the boundaries between pop art and architecture through writings and projects by key artists and thinkers of the 1960s and earlier—from John Cage and Buckminster Fuller to Kurt Schwitters and Joseph Beuys.  It will retain the book’s unique design, specifically its Mylar inserts, which add unique depth and elaborate the publication’s content. Edition of 3000.

Film in print. From the celebrated director Owen Land (nee George Landow) (1944-2011), American filmmaker. Irreverent, intellectual, dangerous. Designed by Kaisa Lassinaro.

Karl Nawrot lives in France (we think). Trained in graphic design with an abiding interest in typography and type experiments, but displays the habits of an illustrator. He grapples with the conventional tools and uses of his trade, in both the physical and conceptual sense. By building 3D models, maquettes, paper monuments, anything really, he builds new models for language. Imagination as communicator and storyteller.

Mr. Nawrot often builds his own tools and models; in this case, stencil discs that act as a mechanism for design abstraction, and a cheap option for record sleeve designs. This book shows the beginning and the end. It's hard to say what's a scan, what's a photo, and what's printed. Edition of 500. 

Based on the plot of Murders at the Rue Morgue (1841) by Edgar Allen Poe, Garamond takes on the first detective story every recorded. This contemporary account is set in Antwerp, Belgium, and is split into three languages: Dutch (Flemish), French, and English. The reader's challenge is to understand and interpret.

Sold as a single. Approximately 1/4" diameter.

Aram Saroyan's minimalist and concrete poems, lots of them, are collected here in a pretty comprehensive way, after their bits and pieces publications have gone out of print. The above poem was blasted by noted jerk/terrible person Jesse Helms after winning an NEA award of $500. Like many of his works, the poem draws attention on multiple levels—the letters themselves, how they are arranged, what the "word" means and what its disruption implies, the ephemerality of its meaning, and our own minds eye that assigns it a connotation even when it's wrong.
