Guy Debord & Asger Jorn
Memories, 1959
3784-BK

The book is a work of psychogeography, detailing a period in Debord's life when he was in the process of leaving the Letterists, setting up Lettrism International, and showing his 'first masterpiece', Hurlements en Faveur de Sade (Howling In Favour Of Sade), a film devoid of imagery that played white when people were talking on the soundtrack and black during the lengthy silences between. Credited to Guy-Ernest Debord, with structures portantes ('load-bearing structures') by Asger Jorn, the book contains 64 pages divided into three sections. The first section is called 'June 1952', and starts with a quote from Marx: Let the dead bury the dead, and mourn them.... our fate will be to become the first living people to enter the new life. The second section, 'December 1952', quotes Huizinga, and the third, 'September 1953', quotes Soubise. The work contains two separate layers. The first is printed with black ink, reproducing found text and graphics taken from newspapers and magazines. The second layer is printed using coloured inks, splashed across the pages. These sometimes connect images and text, sometimes cover them, and sometimes are seemingly unconnected. The black layer contains fragments of text, maps of Paris and London, illustrations of siege warfare, cheap reproductions of old masters and questions such as 'How do you feel about the world at the moment, Sir?' The coloured layer contains freefloating ink splashes, lines created by a matchstick loaded in ink, and a Rorschach inkblob.

Mark Dion
Fragments of travel, exploration and adventure, 2007
1879

10 1/4 x 12 5/8 in. (26 x 32.1 cm)

Paris: Christophe Daviet-Thery and XN editions

In his first book project Dion assumes the guise of an 18th or 19th century scientist who explores an unknown land (he kindly includes a buffalo leather pop-up map of this terra incognita) and exhaustively documents the native flora and fauna. The book is exquisitely constructed to convincingly carry out this fiction: pieces of paper are die cut and assembled and bound into the book to suggest an impromptu but thorough record of the explorer’s discoveries and observations. Contains twenty-seven bound-in lithographs, offset printed; six bound-in digital prints; five loose lithographs, offset printed; and two loose digital prints. Edition of 36 with 9 A.P.; deluxe editions 1-6 each include a unique drawing in colored pencil. Quarter bound in buffalo leather with Zerkall Nideggen paper and Zerkall German Ingres. Slipcase.

Edition of 6 deluxe copies with original drawing.

The Beautiful Book, 1962
773

FIRST PUBLISHED BOOK- The Beautiful Book comprises 19 hand-tipped black-and-white contact prints (2 1/4 x 2 1/4 inches), originally published in an edition of 200 copies. The photographs were produced mainly during the course of extended shooting sessions in Smith's Lower East Side apartment. Most date from the winter of 1962, although a few are earlier - including the final 'signature' photograph, a portrait of the artist on the steps beneath the Brooklyn Bridge taken by filmmaker Ken Jacobs. Nearly half the photographs feature the artist Marian Zazeela, who provided the design for the book's silk-screened cover. *This copy is signed by her. Smith and his associates assembled the books during the late spring and early summer of 1962, before shooting began on Flaming Creatures. Published and distributed by Piero Heliczer's press, the dead language. The only autonomous collection of Jack Smith's photographs to appear during his lifetime.

40 pages with 19 B&W Illustrations, each wrapped in a unique vintage kimono fabric each having one photograph from the book on gampi paper with encaustic, signed and numbered housed in a bass wood box. A hand crafted bass wood Japanese box houses a unique signed photograph; inkjet on gampi paper, hand coated with encaustic, under which the book is found wrapped in an indigo vintage kimono fabric. The package is tied with red and white cords, each one with a small paper flag inscribed with a question from the title. The story reveals the significance of the book wrapped in a threadbare kimono under the snow. Each book is hand-made, thread bound using traditional Japanese techniques, with 19 photo- micrographs of snow crystals that were shot by the artists during snowstorms between 2004 and 2006. The images are printed on gampi paper, the back of each image is hand-painted with white acrylic and then finally the image is brushed with a single stroke of varnish. A signed colophon is inside the box.

Scott Williams
Strange Secrets, 2007
1942

80 pages, 8.5 x 7 x 2 inches. Pencil calligraphy, paper cut out, airbrushed hand cut stencils. Several years ago after a severe seizure Scott practiced writing and simple paper cutting in his sketchbooks, an excersize that assisted him in regaining his eye/hand coordination. Day by day for the past two years Scott has gone back over the initial writting and papercutting with airbrushed handcut stencil painitng. The result is a book of cryptic writing (which sometimes resolves into true English but primarily remains Williams-script) and pscycho-delic palimpsest harkens back to other enigmatic bookworks such as Aldus Manutius? Hypnerotomachia Poliphili and Leonardo DaVinci's backward-written sketchbooks.
