James Hoff, Douglas Huebler
Artists' book by James Hoff based upon artists' book "Secrets : Variable Piece 4," by Douglas Huebler. To conceive the book Hoff dusted a copy of the original Huebler book revealing fingerprints of the book's prior readers. "Secrets" was index of secrets collected by Huebler during the exhibition Software, held at the Jewish Museum, New York, September 16 - November 8, 1970. "Nearly 1,800 'secrets' were submitted for exchange and have been transcribed exactly as written except that surnames have been edited: all are printed in this book and join with this statement as final form of this piece." -- from book's back cover. Date of publication often stated as being 1973, however, that date references when work was conceived, not date of book's publication, which was in 1977. [Publisher, Printed Matter, was not founded until 1976.]

Yvonne Rainer, Carrie Lambert-Beatty
"In her dance and performances of the 1960s, Yvonne Rainer famously transformed the performing body--stripped it of special techniques and star status, traded its costumes and leotards for T-shirts and sneakers, and asked it to haul mattresses or recite texts rather than leap or spin. Without discounting these innovations, Carrie Lambert-Beatty argues in Being Watched that the crucial site of Rainer's interventions in the 1960s was less the body of the performer than the eye of the viewer--or rather, the body as offered to the eye. Rainer's art, Lambert-Beatty writes, is structured by a peculiar tension between the body and its display. Through close readings of Rainer's works of the 1960s--from the often-discussed dance Trio A to lesser-known Vietnam war-era protest dances--Lambert-Beatty explores how these performances embodied what Rainer called 'the seeing difficulty.' (As Rainer said: 'Dance is hard to see.') Viewed from this perspective, Rainer's work becomes a bridge between key episodes in postwar art. Lambert-Beatty shows how Rainer's art (and related performance work in Happenings, Fluxus, and Judson Dance Theater) connects with the transformation of the subject-object relation in minimalism and with emerging feminist discourse on the political implications of the objectifying gaze. In a spectacle-soaked era, moreover, when images of war played nightly on the television news, Rainer's work engaged the habits of viewing formed in mass-media America, linking avant-garde art and the wider culture of the 1960s. Rainer is significant, argues Lambert-Beatty, not only as a choreographer but as a sculptor of spectatorship." -- publisher's statement. Illustrated with photographs by Peter Moore, Warner Jepson, Phil MacMullen, and others. Extensive notes, and index.

"'The Happy Hypocrite' is a biannual journal for and about experimental art writing. Informed by a lineage of modern experimental and avant-garde magazines, such as: 'Bananas, Documents,' 'The Fox,' 'Merlin' and 'Tracks,' this journal aspires to unpack the methodology of such key journals, whilst providing a brand new approach to art writing. It will provide a greatly needed testing ground for new writing and research-based projects, somewhere for artists, writers and theorists to express experimental ideas that might not otherwise be realised or published. In this, the first issue, an interview, a translation, a short story, notes on time, some possible captions, Bananas and an index. Edited by Maria Fusco. Artist’s pages and artist’s writings from: Cosey Fanni Tutti, Douglas Coupland, Stewart Home, Andrea Mason, Clunie Reid, Gerard Byrne, Paolo Arao, Lisa Robertson, Farhad Ahrarnia, Nick Thurston, Giles Eldridge, and Alexandre Singh." publisher's statement.

Gordon Matta-Clark, Elisabeth Sussman, Briony Fer, Tina Kukielski, Gwendolyn Owens, Spyros Papapetros, Christian Scheidemann, Joan Simon
Exhibition catalogue published in conjunction with show held February 22 - June 3, 2007. Traveled to Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles, September 16, 2007 - January 07, 2008. "Qualifying the ancient Greek saying “Man is the measure,” Gordon Matta-Clark (1943–1978) asserted instead 'You are the measure,' conveying the defining theme in an oeuvre that would exert a powerful influence on fellow artists and architects. In artworks that combined minimalist, conceptual, and performative practices, Matta-Clark gave primary importance to the individual and considerations of everyday life. This comprehensive book incorporates important new information from the Matta-Clark archive, presenting a compelling reappraisal of the unique beauty and radical nature of Matta-Clark’s punnings, plans, performances, and interventions evident in the many media in which he worked: sculptural objects (most notably from building cuts), drawings, films, photographs, and documentary material. The son of Chilean Surrealist painter Roberto Matta and godson of Marcel Duchamp, Matta-Clark trained as an architect. He is renowned for his poignant use of urban landscapes, creating many site-specific works (often outside of a museum or gallery context) in New York and abroad. In this handsome book, distinguished scholars of contemporary art provide new insights into Matta-Clark’s work: the reception of his art during his lifetime; the impact of his socially engaged lifestyle; the production of his films; his photography, in particular his collages that have not been thoroughly explored; the creation and conservation of his building cut Splitting; and much more." Texts by Elisabeth Sussman, Briony Fer, Tina Kukielski, Gwendolyn Owens, Spyros Papapetros, Christian Scheidemann, Joan Simon. Exhibition checklist, photographic archive, chronology, exhibition history, bibliography, index. 100 black-and-white and 123 color illustrations.
