The Bidoun Library Project at the New Museum is a highly partial account of five decades of printed matter in, near, about, and around the Middle East. Arrayed along the library’s shelves are pulp fictions and propaganda, monographs and guidebooks, and pamphlets and periodicals, representing the oil boom and the Dubai bust, the Cold War and the hot pant; depicting Pan-Arabs and Black Muslims, revolutionaries and royals, Orientalism and its opposites.
For the opening night Bidoun will present selected readings and video clips from the collection. In addition, for the opening day of the project, Bidoun has invited booksellers usually found outside the New York University library to set up shop outside the New Museum.
Join us afterward for dancing and drinks at:

Opening June 10th at W/—, “APPLAUSE COPYRIGHT © 1966 BY BRUCE CONNOR. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED” is revisited by Stand Up Comedy. Focusing on one signal, the installation is a relic made to fit the confines of the project site. W/— as a place for entertainments and openings as recreation, or objects as performance. The audience will often define the space.
Sad to hear of the recent passing of New York designer Tobias Wong. I often referred students to his clever takes on everyday objects and conceptual approach to product design. A personal favorite was his a desktop pad of dollar bills glued on one edge.
An interview is here.

In Four Over One, the Los Angeles based artist Phil Chang employs the format of an artists book to explore ideas of economy and obsolescence. In collaboration with designer Jonathan Maghen, Four Over One is structured around Chang’s interest in how new outcomes arise from an antagonism between perceived and actual forms of value. The photographs that appear in the book were created using expired photographic materials exposed by an archival book scanner. Through a sparse display of color, black and white, and half-tone photographs, in conjunction with a restrained typographic treatment, Four Over One employs an economy of scale in order to consider the roles of abstraction, methods of art production, and modes of distribution in our contemporary culture.

This booklet is published as part of I Wonder What The Silence is About, a body of work, speculating on the (temporary?) disappearance of Art In Ruins. This English collaborative art practice was formed in 1984 and created a radical stance towards the art world, based on critical post-modern thinking. They have been for a short period omnipresent in the London/Berlin art scene before they fell silent in 2001. I contacted Art In Ruins and asked for permission to reprint one of their publications as part of my project. This they rejected but suggested to publish this interview instead, which was initially written for Frieze Magazine in 1994. It has not been printed until today.

“There should be something smaller happening, although I can’t really say I’ve found it, which doesn’t mean that it doesn’t exist. If there’s a really good thing going on now and I don’t know about it, I think that’s kind of right. If I know what’s going on, then it’s not truly new, if you know what I mean.”
Interviewed by Fraser Cooke. Two figures I am perpetually mixed on.

mosaicism.org by Daniel Ingroff, 4 March — 1 April 2010
Reception on Thursday, March 4th from 6-7:30pm at the library
A work inspired by photographs and paraphernalia taken from the Art department’s “picture files” — a unique collection of newspapers, magazine clippings and ephemera collected by librarians prior to the advent of the Internet. Made up of three distinct parts: a website, video and display, mosaicism.org investigates both digital and analogue forms of the “picture” by framing some of the aesthetic and emotional assumptions associated with these binaries.

Wee See is a collection of black-and-white animations built from basic shapes — to intrigue both child and parent. As vision develops slowly over the first months of life, Wee See provides surfaces of bold, well-defined artwork to engage a child’s curious mind to bring the screen (and their imagination) to life.
