An essential sourcebook on conceptual art's famed champion, reproducing his texts as scans to immerse the reader in this deep archival dive. "Better Read Than Dead" was the title Seth Siegelaub had chosen for an anthology of his own writing—one of the projects for which he never found the time, busy as he was running his global one-man operation. The selected writings, interviews, extended bibliography and chronology in this source book fill historical gaps in the sprawling network of exhibitions, publications, projects, and collections that constitute Siegelaub’s life’s work. "Siegelaubian" paperwork comprises Siegelaub’s writings, which are reproduced as scans in order to convey the variety of the documents and to give a sense of archival immersion. Interspersed with these “writings” are interviews and talks, several newly transcribed. The majority of interviews from 1969-1972 are reprinted here. ↑ ↓ ↓

Das Keramikos-Buch zeigt photographische Aufnahmen von insgesamt 300 bemalten Stücken, die die Künstler Matthew Lutz-Kinoy und Natsuko Uchino seit 2010 geschaffen haben - darunter Teller, Schalen und Krüge. Einige Objekte werden von narrativen Beschreibungen begleitet, die die Vorstellungen von Gesellschaft, Religion, Politik, Stil und Technik durch die lange Geschichte der keramischen Produktion aus der hispano-moresken, byzantinischen, islamischen und koreanischen Keramik aufgreifen. Jede Platte ist auf der Recto-Seite gedruckt, ihre Rückseite ist in der gleichen Position auf der Verso-Seite derselben Seite abgebildet. Ein umfangreicher Index rundet das Buch ab. ***** The Keramikos book presents front-and-back photographic records of 300 painted pieces that artists Matthew Lutz-Kinoy and Natsuko Uchino produced since 2010 - including plates, bowls, pitchers and oil jars.

Each plate is printed on the recto side with its reverse shown in the same position on the verso side of the same page. An extensive index completes the book as well as an interview with the artist and curator Nicolas Trembley. ↑ ↓ ↓
