In 1969 Seth Siegelaub organized an exhibition (and publication) with the title January 5 – 31, 1969, one of the first exhibition projects of conceptual art, with the participation of Robert Barry, Douglas Huebler, Joseph Kosuth and Lawrence Weiner.

Back then there was already talking about a so-called “linguistic turn” that had been taken place in the visual arts and in consequence led to idea art. Nevertheless one could hardly deny, that those artistic/poetic strategies are being reused and radicalised around the turn of the millennium and recently.

January 5 – 31, 2012 is gathering some of these positions, presenting Craig Dworkin, Kenneth Goldsmith Jonathan Monk and Michalis Pichler.

Em 1972, Ulises Carrión produziu seu primeiro livro de artista, “SONNET(S)”, que consiste em 44 variações de um soneto de Dante Gabriel Rosetti chamado “Heart’s Compass”. Usando a linguagem como material, Carrión reescreveu o poema de Rossetti na máquina de escrever, em versões um pouco diferentes.

Em 2009 Michalis Pichler, em uma abordagem similar, mas utilizando um computador, provavelmente no word ou open office, criou 44 novas variações e publicou o livro chamado “SOME MORE SONNET(S)”

In 1972, Ulises Carrión produced his first artist’s book “SONNET(S)” which consists of a 44 variations of a sonnet by Dante Gabriel Rosetti titled “Heart’s Compass”. Using the language like a material, Carrión writes Rossetti’s poem over and over again on a typewriter, in slightly different versions. This book today is considered Carrión’s first “artists book”, where he still uses language, but quite differently.

In 2009 Michalis Pichler, in a similar approach but using a computer, probably word or open office, created 44 new variations and published a book titled “SOME MORE SONNET(S)”. (via http://www.buypichler.com/sonnets-other-sonnets-0)

Há um tipo especial de posto de gasolina que foi construído em toda a República Democrática Alemã (ou seja: ao redor de uma vasta área de Berlim) pela Total, uma companhia petrolífera francesa, depois que o muro foi derrubado e eles expandiram seus negócios durante os anos 1990. Todos eles foram fotografados.

Ruscha uma vez declarou em uma entrevista que ao criar seu primeiro livro, que veio a  ser um modelo de “livro de artista” (e, hoje em dia, altamente colecionável) o título veio primeiro. Então ele pegou um volume de 70-90 fotografias de postos de gasolina e eventualmente “os postos excêntricos foram os primeiros que eu joguei fora.”

 

There is one particular Gasoline Station which was built all over the former German Democratic Republic (that is: all around the wider area of Berlin) by Total, a French Oil Company, after the wall came down and they expanded their business during the 90’es. All those were photographed.

Ruscha once stated in an interview, that when creating his first book, which came to be an “artist book” role model (and, nowadays, high-end-collectible) the title came first. He then took a bulk of 70–90 photographs of Gas Stations, and eventually “The eccentric stations were the first ones I threw out.”
