Number eleven of the CODEX1 Monograph Series. The Timeless Art of Allowing Books to Thrive is a dialogue between two theoretically and existentially divergent proponents of reading-executed in the manner of a conversation. Ulises Carrion's ground-breaking 1975 manifesto "The new art of making books" is here presented with interleaved remarks composed 40 years later by internationally renowned scholar poet and typographer Robert Bringhurst.<BR><br /> <BR><br /> "Carrion's kind of art has not lacked for proponents and exponents in the academy or in the art world but much that has been written along these lines is intellectually murky and burdened with pompous jargon. Carrion himself by contrast was plain-spoken and full of real ideas. My own predilections are different from his and so we disagree on many fronts yet he is lucid and articulate - and therefore someone I can talk to dead or alive." <BR><br /> - from the preface by Robert Bringhurst<BR><br /> <BR><br /> This limited edition of 500 copies was designed and printed by Peter Koch with the assistance of Jonathan Gerken.

1885125381New York: Henry-Bonnard Bronze Co. c. 1885. Attractive bronze bust of of Ulysses S. Grant as General of the Army by famed American sculptor Henry Kirke Bush-Brown. The adopted nephew of sculptor Henry Kirke Brown Henry Kirke Bush-Brown was revered for his accurate realist sculptures illustrating American history. He produced three equestrian bronze sculptures erected at the Gettysburg battlefield depicting General George Mead the victor at Gettysburg General John F. Reynolds killed in action July 1 1863 and General John Sedgwick the senior most Union casualty of the American Civil War. In addition Bush-Brown made a bust of Abraham Lincoln dedicated in 1912 as part of the Lincoln Speech Memorial commemorating Lincoln's Gettysburg Address. Mounted on a bronze base the entire piece measures 7.75 inches in height. In fine condition. Following the close of the American Civil War Congress revisited the idea of a superior General rank initially intended for bestowal upon George Washington who held the rank of "General and Commander-in-Chief" which was a grade senior to all American major generals and brigadier generals from the American Revolutionary War but only entitled him to the three-star insignia of an Army lieutenant general. On July 25 1866 Congress enacted legislation authorizing the grade of General of the Army and on that same date the new grade was conferred on Lieutenant General Ulysses S. Grant as a reward for saving the Union in the American Civil War. The grade was recognized and continued in various acts until the Act of July 15 1870 which contained the requirement that "the offices of general and lieutenant general shall continue until a vacancy shall exist in the same and no longer and when such vacancy shall occur in either of said offices shall become inoperative and shall by virtue of this act from thence forward be held to be repealed.

In the Getty Research Institute exhibition catalogue Artists and Their Books Books and Their Artists 2018 Zanna Gilbert writes about the first edition: "Carrión humorously interrogates the structure and content of books and the literary devices used by authors and playwrights. The titular exchanges in Arguments are indicated only by the names of the participants with no reference to the actual content of their disagreements. The distinctly Anglophone names are arranged in various configurations on each page of the book leaving the reader to wonder about the substance of the disputes."<br /> <P> As new.

7582Many illus. Unpaginated. 8vo stiff pictorial boards cloth spine. Mexico City: Alias 2013.<br /> <P> First edition an uncommon book examining Carrión's De Diefstal van het Jaar "exhibition" at the Drents Museum in 1982. This show entailed Ulises Carrion 1941-89 displaying a large diamond in a small and dark room of the museum without any visible security or restrictions as a social experiment. In the last decade of his life Carrión's practice involved similar investigations of societal norms and the dissemination of information. The previous year the artist had delved into the spread of gossip and rumors through social networks in the performance piece Gossip Scandal and Good Manners in which he concocted rumors about himself to observe how they spread.<br /> <P> Pairing new essays presented in Spanish & English by Martha Hellion and Paulo Silveira with Claudio Goulart's original photography documenting the exhibition this work reveals new details about Carrión's intentions and the execution of this daring show. This publication is part of Alias's AntÃtesis series no. 3.<br /> <P> As new. The very rare flyer promoting De Diefstal van het Jaar is reproduced on the cover. hardcover books

From inside of lower wrapper: Amsterdam: Stichting de Appel 1984.<br /> The very rare program for Ulises Carrion's film festival celebrating the Mexican movie star Lilia Prado a famous actor from his childhood. Prado 1928-2006 starred in a number of Mexican films as well as several directed by Luis Buñuel in the 1950s. Carrión organized a festival screening four of her movies in four Dutch cities in 1984 which was attended by Prado herself. He conceived of this film festival as an "opportunity for viewers to examine their own cultural values and to reflect upon assumptions about the mythology created by the mass media in this case the film industry and its cultural-economic implications. In Carrión's eyes for example Prado could have been marketed as well as Marilyn had if post-World War II Mexico had been more economically dominant."-Ulises Carrión: ¿Mundos personales o estrategias culturales 2003 p. 76.<br /> This volume contains text in Dutch about Carrión by the curator Saskia Bos and the four movies to be shown and an interview between Prado and Carrión that took place earlier that year in Mexico City.

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.

N.p.: 1978.<br /> The extremely rare fifth issue of Commonpress guest-edited by Ulises Carrion and devoted to boxing one of the artist's life-long passions. Based on floating editorship this mail art periodical comprised works contributed by fellow artists that were then photocopied. Carrión solicited projects from Klaus Groh Anna Banana Bill Gaglione Pawel Petasz Robin Crozier Silva Marcondes etc. On the inside of the lower wrapper Carrión writes: "The question now arises: has this anthology Primarily to do with art Or has it to do with box And this question is valid regardless of the plurality of meanings of the word 'box' which lead some participants to take it as meaning 'sport' and some others as 'receptacle'."<br /> A fine copy.

Purmerend: Museum Waterland 1981.<br /> An uncommon exhibition flyer for a display of bookworks at the Museum Waterland.

Kocman Tom Ockerse Gèza Perneczky and Pawel Petasz. Several examples of each artist's work are pictured. All of the works displayed were drawn from Agius and Carrión's personal collections. This catalogue's text written by Alex A. M. de Vries is in parallel Dutch and English. <br /> De Vries pointedly notes "Two book-artists curated and arranged this exhibition in such a way that you will not see much of the usual mania for conservation which is being practised in most of the musea. This means that you will be able to take the books in your hands.This exhibition proves that artists' books deserve to be shown more often and on large scale. And in an adequate way. The actual treatment like that of conservators in musea who like to take care of books as if they were dealing with radio-active material does not satisfy. A book ought to be in the hand of the reader."<br /> Fine and fresh copy.<br /> ⧠U. Carrión Quant aux Livres 2008 p. 210. unknown books
