From the first page: Hou Denmark: Egmont Højskolen Feb. 1979.<br /> A very scarce exhibition catalogue crafted by Ulises Carrion. The artist also curated exhibitions on bookworks mail art and rubber stamp books in Emmastad Curaçao; Warsaw; Amsterdam; Rotterdam; Budapest; Alkmaar; Maastricht; Cambridge England etc. The present catalogue with text in English and Danish begins with Carrión thanking the artist Niels Lomholt. He then describes the exhibited materials: "Time pressures didn't allow for a wide research but I believe that the show includes most if not all the significant artists in this field. Some available catalogues and anthologies have been included because they possess a reasonable coherence in character theme or intentions. These criteria rather than dictionary definitions were also applied when deciding what was to be considered as being 'a book.' The show includes quite a number of unbound works; in all cases however they consist of a series of loose works that have been put between the same covers and under a common name. Many of the included items were lent by Aart van Barneveld from the Stempelpaats in Amsterdam."<br /> This exhibition featured the works of Anna Banana Luciano Bartolini Peter van Beveren Cozette de Charmoy Robert Jacks Ray di Palma Pawel Petasz Dieter Roth Ruedi Schill Gabor Toth Dick Walraven etc. A few of the pieces are illustrated.<br /> In excellent condition.<br /> ⧠U.

"The marginal annotation of this edition has been undertaken with a view to supplementing the personal narrative by references not only to some of the books with which the author refreshed his memory before entering upon and during his autobiographical labors but also to a limited extent to works in which fuller details may be found concerning incidents which were necessarily briefly treated by General Grant either by reason of his own connections with the action being limited to a small details as in some of the Mexican War scenes or on account of the haste with which the first edition of the book was perforce completed." --Frederick D. Grant Preface to the Second Edition.Frederick Dent Grant 1850-1912 was the eldest son of Ulysses S. Grant. / "Books reviews pamphlets etc. cited in the marginal annotation to this edition": v. 1 p. xviii-xix. ¶ Ulysses S. Grant 1822-1885 stands as a pivotal figure in American history known for his roles as a Union general during the Civil War and the 18th President of the United States. Born Hiram Ulysses Grant in Ohio he entered the U.S. Military Academy at West Point and served with distinction in the Mexican-American War. During the Civil War Grant's strategic acumen and tenacity led to key victories including the capture of Vicksburg a turning point in the war. His success on the battlefield led to his appointment as Commanding General in 1864 and he accepted the surrender of Confederate General Robert E. Lee at Appomattox in 1865 effectively ending the Civil War. Grant's presidency 1869-1877 was marked by efforts to ensure civil rights for newly freed African Americans including the enforcement of Radical Reconstruction in the South and the passage of the Fifteenth Amendment granting African American men the right to vote. His administration faced challenges including an economic depression and accusations of corruption. In his later years Grant penned his memoirs which have been praised for their insight and literary style. Despite the controversies of his presidency Grant is often celebrated for his unwavering commitment to equality and his military leadership during one of the most tumultuous periods in American history." --Bing. ¶ Guerre du Mexique 1846-1848 -- Récits personnels.

8079Coated paper with black & white illus. Assen Netherlands: 1982.<br/> <br/> The rare promotional poster for one of Ulises Carrión’s experimental public installations; the present copy is in particularly fine condition and has not been folded or creased. Entitled The Robbery of the Year this exhibition was designed by the artist as a test of visitors’ self-restraint. A large diamond was placed on a cushion without any enclosure but with a single spotlight trained on it in an otherwise dark room. Visitors were invited to enter the room while a photographer took pictures of the space and the visitors. An expected theft failed to transpire and near the end of the exhibition the photographer was withdrawn. Soon thereafter the diamond disappeared.<br/> <br/> “De Diefstal van het Jaar was an exhibition of a diamond in which visitors are surreptitiously invited to steal the stone raising interesting questions about viewing and stealing a precious object worthy of public exhibition and evoking images associated with museum heists with subsequent analysis on issues such as the value and ownership of objects on display.â€â€“Guy Schraenen ed. Dear reader. Don’t read. 2016 pp. 44 & 164 pictured.<br/> <br/> On his series of public experiments Carrión is quoted as saying: “In my work I use all kinds of materials objects processes and people as formal elements. The final result is only partially determined in advance and the process that leads to that point is influenced by all the factors mentioned above. It is a game without fixed rules and with no winners or losers.â€â€“Guy Schraenen ed. “We have won! Haven’t we†1992 p. 69.<br/> <br/> In excellent condition. unknown
8080Single A4 sheet printed on both sides illus. on recto. Amsterdam: 1982.<br/> <br/> Rare flyer for the lone film made by Ulises Carrión 1941-89. In the years after the closing of Other Books and So the artist focused much of his efforts on video works eventually founding Time Based Arts a gallery dedicated to supporting video artists. On the verso Carrión describes the film which was “originally produced for the International Media Meeting organized by the Agora Foundation in Maastricht from 19 to 25 April 1982.â€<br/> <br/> “Ever since his participation in the activities of the In-Out Center Carrión along with other Amsterdam artists shared an increasing interest in the possibility of film and video to document their numerous ephemeral activities and to work with the question of time…Carrión found in the language of film a support for his questioning of narrative widening the possibilities beyond what was previously limited to literature…In his only film the record of a performance The Death of the Art Dealer 1982 Carrión transfers into performance and film the type of processes he had applied to the literary text. Holding a small television set showing a 1940s film by Max Ophuls Carrión moves to the right or left to the rhythm of the movements of the characters in the film. The soundtrack is that of the original film but the narrative itself is ignored. Instead what one observes is a fairly unnoticed and typically forgettable structural aspect. In a way Carrión’s movements are like the parentheses and punctuation marks that he had previously used to strikethrough text in his pieces on certain literary works.â€â€“Joao Fernandes “Art as Subversion: Make and Remake to Make Anew†in Dear reader.
