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.

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
