‘For me, it’s like buying gifts for myself and some are really fantastic: occasionally I am really amazed by what I have bought when it arrives, as often the catalogue description does not do justice to the physical object itself.’ Jonathan Monk

CoverVersionSpread

Jonathan Monk is an artist who loves other artists. His work draws on oblique autobiographical references and personal anecdotes together with art historical strategies and legacies to express a critical camaraderie in his subject. Cover Version features a selection of seminal publications from Monk’s extensive collection of artists’ books. Sol Le Witt, Lawrence Weiner and Ed Ruscha are represented side by side to form a cogent series, which presents a contemporary investigation into materiality and the problems of signification in conceptual art publishing. An integral section of Cover Version is a transcribed telephone conversation between Jonathan Monk and Seth Siegelaub, which unfolds and discusses their mutual obsession with book making and collecting whilst speculating on the nature of the object. This ‘collectable’ book also has three different covers designed with its monetary value in euros, dollars and pounds, a direct reference to Lawrence Weiner’s 1968 publication Statements.

Este é o primeiro livro de artista do coletivo Dulcinéia Catadora, que inaugura uma nova linha editorial, em que os artistas são convidados a criar um livro especificamente para o projeto.

O coletivo, formado em parte por filhos de catadores de material reciclável, convida escritores e artistas para publicarem livros confeccionados pelos próprios integrantes do grupo. Cada livro, impresso em papel reciclado, ganha uma capa pintada pelos membros do Dulcinéia Catadora. A capa de cada exemplar é única, e todas são feitas com papelão comprado em cooperativas de material para reciclagem. Abaixo, uma amostra de várias capas:

O Dulcinéia Catadora integra uma rede latino-americana de projetos-irmãos como o Eloisa Cartonera (Argentina), Sarita Cartonera (Peru), YiYi-Jambo (Paraguai), Yerba Mala (Bolívia), Animita (Chile), La Cartonera (México) entre outros.

O tema deste livro é a página e as páginas aqui reproduzidas  são tomadas de obras de literatura (ou, em alguns casos, livros de arte, especificamente, que derivam da literatura). Eu escolhi apresentá-los tematicamente, formando uma tipologia de páginas auto-reflexivas: páginas negras, páginas em branco, páginas de desenho, páginas fotográficas, páginas de texto,  páginas de números e páginas de pontuação. A repetição que isso implica é um tanto enganosa (para começar, o leitor observará as pequenas, mas não insignificantes, diferenças entre as apresentações visuais e verbais); na literatura, esses recursos são frequentemente usados como um contraponto ao que precedeu ou o que vai seguir na narrativa. E o mesmo recurso pode ser utilizado para diferentes fins. Por esse motivo, e porque o livro tenta  traçar um panorama do tema através de numerosas obras isoladas e independentes, o leitor encontrará as referências das publicações originais listados na bibliografia.
(Prière d’insérer de Louis Lüthi)

 The subject of this book is the page, and the pages reproduced in it are taken from works of literature (or, in some cases, art books that derive specifically from literature). I have chosen to present them thematically, resulting in a typology of self-reflexive pages: Black Pages, Blank Pages, Drawing Pages, Photography Pages, Text Pages, Number Pages, and Punctuation Pages. The repetition this entails is somewhat deceptive (for a start, the reader will observe the slight but not insignificant differences between the visual and verbal presentations); in literature, such devises are often used as a counterpoint to what has preceded or what will follow in the narrative. And the same means may evidently be used to different ends. For these reasons, and because the book attempts only to trace an isolated theme through numerous and often otherwise unrelated works, the reader is in all instances referred to the original publications, which are listed in the bibliography.

« In 2001, we decided to publish the complete text of The New Five Foot Shelf in one single volume, in softcover, to make it affordable for most people. We gathered the manual of the 1910’s The Five Foot Shelf Of Books and the five chapters together. With kind support of the International Centre of Graphic Arts of Ljubljana, we published in June 2003 The New Five Foot Shelf of Books, presented during the Ljubljana Biennale. The New Five Foot Shelf of Books includes a great deal of biographical references, such as Duchamp’s or Broodthaers’, that we find in the The Three Marcels chapter.
Those references do not belong to public property yet. In the chapter entitled Once upon a time when books were famous, Allen Ruppersberg also uses a lot of authors’ quotes. It became quickly obvious that the commercialization of this book would be impossible without paying rights of mentioned authors. So we decided to publish this book NOT FOR SALE, getting round the law, making the book « out-law », « offside »… and establishing new rules… »
Michèle Didier
