Mexico: Ediciones Era 1966.<br /> <br> <br> First and only edition of Carrión’s first published book. In 1966 Carrión 1941-89 was one of Mexico’s emerging literary talents. A number of his short stories had been published in leading journals and his first play El Gran Espectáculo was performed at the Casa de la Cultura de Tlacotalpan Veracruz to rave reviews. Following his studies in philosophy and letters at the Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México he spent time in France and Germany 1964-65 learning both languages. La muerte de Miss O consisting of six short stories — La muerte de Miss O Y el olvido… Las palabras Graciela y yo El asalto and Como la serpiente — was lauded in an effusive review published in El Colegio de México’s Diálogos: Artes Letras Ciencias humanas.<br /> <br> <br> “La muerte de Miss O. 1966 a collection of six stories in which he fluctuates between psychological and realistic prose is perhaps his most well-known and highly acclaimed work. Skillfully employing the interior monologue somewhat reminiscent of both Marcel Proust and William Faulkner Carrión creates vivid and engaging characters whose psychological self-expression is tinged with realism.â€â€“–Eladio Cortés ed.

Amsterdam: 1978.<br /> <br> <br> Scarce flyer announcement of the artist’s utopian vision of a free artist-run postal system called E.A.M.I.S. and operated from his Other Books and So bookstore in Amsterdam. Referring to himself as the “Post Master†Carrión writes eight point describing the network the final item on the flyer reads: “By usin sic. the E.A.M.I.S. you support the only alternative to the national bureaucracies and you strengthen the international artists community.â€<br /> <br> <br> “Carrión conceived a support other than the official postal system to deliver letters and packages. It was based on the erratic distribution of the mail by people traveling around. As Postmaster of E.A.M.I.S. he set up the rules and services of this alternative system in 8 points as the concept of the project. It was mimeographed on a DIN A4 sheet and distributed and included in the program of the International Artists’ Meeting at the Galeria Remont Warsaw in April 1978 for the first time…A couple of months later as the project came to an end 24 letters and parcels were distributed and reached their addresses while 9 others remained undelivered.â€â€“Juan J.

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.

Hou Denmark: Egmont Højskolen Feb. 1979.<br /> <br> <br> A scarce exhibition catalogue dedicated to books with rubber-stamped illustrations curated by Ulises Carrión 1941-89. His introduction is printed in Danish and English: “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.â€<br /> <br> <br> The 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 /> <br> <br> In fine condition.

1117720 leaves. Small 8vo 178 x 115 mm. orig. black printed dust-jacket perfect-bound. Geneva Switzerland: Ateliers Typographiques Héros-Limite 1995.<br/> <br/> The very rare second edition of Carrión’s beguiling bookwork composed of bound wallpaper samples one of the artist’s lesser-known books due to its rarity. The 1973 first edition published by the artists’ space In-Out Center was made in an edition of 50 numbered copies. The present work is one of 52 copies 26 of which are lettered A-Z the rest numbered 27 to 52; our copy is no. 42. This book is part of a series of re-publications that Juan J. Agius an executor of Carrión’s estate undertook to replicate the increasingly scarce and fragile bookworks Ulises Carrión 1941-89 created in the 70s. Under the imprint of Editions Héros-Limite in Geneva Agius produced second editions of Mirror Box 1st ed.: 1979 Looking for Poetry / Tras la PoesÃa 1st ed.: 1973 Arguments 1st ed.: 1973 and the present bookwork. <br/> <br/> â€In Ulises Carrión’s bookworks the ellipsis of the literary text is accompanied by an ellipsis of the narrative as can be seen in the listing of names or the identification of characters that are not linked by any narrative relationship within a story…In Tell me what sort of wall paper your room has and I will tell you who you are 1973 Carrión cuts out and binds together a set of wallpaper samples typing on them the name of the room in which each will appear. The names start in the first person my room then identify the members of his family and relations my parent’s room my sister’s room my uncle’s room my wife’s room my teacher’s room finally reaching a progressive lack of differentiation of the person to whom the room with the specific wallpaper belongs your room a room …’s room. The subtlety of this bookwork is apparent not only in the readymade of the wallpapers but also in the suggestion of a narrative that does not require a text for its construction: the simple association of the identities of the rooms’ owners in the first person informs us that the narrator has a teacher a wife etc. The progression of these identifications suggests a leaving of the family home to enter the world the framework of so many narratives found in short stories novellas and novels. The new art of making books permits the insinuation of a story without resorting to text or narrative…â€â€“João Fernandes “Art as Subversion: Make and Remake to Make Anew†in Guy Schraenen ed.

198229489Amsterdam 1982. Fine condition. Ref. Hill 63. First Edition. Xerographic flyer printed recto/verso to A4 sheet. Announcement for the only film made by Ulises Carrión a structuralist 16mm performance in which Carrión cradles a television set playing scenes from Max Ophüls' The Reckless Moment 1949 and moves his body and the set according to the direction in which the camera pans in the film—right left down up—resulting in a strangely stabilized image. The performance abruptly concludes when Ophüls' protagonist throws the body of a gangster ex-art dealer into the sea. Amsterdam unknown

11417110 pp. Tall 8vo 230 x 109 mm. orig. printed thick paper covers title on spine. N.p.: Verlaggalerie Leaman 1978.<br /> <br> <br> One of Ulises Carrión's scarce bookworks printed in an edition of 300. It is a fine example of the artist's interest in plagiarizing found texts in order to recast them as new original artworks and books. The artist has recreated the genealogy of the Muxlow family of Yorkshire whose family bible he discovered while he was studying at the University of Leeds. The birth dates marriages and death dates for the members of this family have been documented and preserved through the minimalist layout of the text.<br /> <br> <br> Carrión lays out the intent of the present bookwork in this way: "The list of names dates and places divided in 5 sections: Parents Children Marriages Deaths and Other Events does not lend itself to lyricism it contains nothing more than facts. However when one reads names dates and places one after another these become interchangeable: individuality space and time united in one single flow of sounds become a pure rhythm a primitive chanting.
