The Island Beautiful/Mortal Mirror

A dream in two parts translated by Alex Da Corte Published by Bodega Press 2011 A note from the publisher: “Throughout The Island Beautiful / Mortal Mirror Da Corte absorbs work from each artist into his own. In the way one may appear in another’s dream, the artists appear as extensions of themselves; the original structure and meaning co-opted by Da Corte and reinterpreted in a dissociated imagination. The history of each artist, the past meanings given to the work, the cultural significance they exude, the singular experience assumed, are all collapsed in favor of a connected weightless whole. The work of others and consumer waste are equally available as raw material.The Island Beautiful / Mortal Mirror presents the work of thirteen artists translated by Alex Da Corte.” $24

Isabel Markus - One Minute

1st Edition

Edition of 100 published by Loose Joints 2013

Three 24-page Zines housed in a A5 document envelope

$15 

A note from the publishers:

"One Minute is the first publication by Loose Joints. It describes a train entering a station. Consisting of three different publications, One Minute mimics the screen grids found on train stations throughout London. These monitor banks, often found at passenger level, present a curious for of observation - the chance to witness an event that you are within occurring from an impossible, disembodied number of surveillance perspectives; elevated and omnipotent, godlike. A small group of ambivalent actors move about the stage, shuffling back and fourth, shifting out of one frame and into another. An out of body experience."

Lewis Chaplin - Sourcebook Fourteen-Nineteen Books 2011 Edition of 200

$26

An excerpt from a note by the publishers:

"Sourcebook presents the detritus and collected imagery of a year of contemplation, frustration and ambivalence with the nature of photography. From an initial starting point of the typographic reference book, within its pages a myriad of situations and pictures present themselves - each at once recognisable and indecipherable."

Riley Payne - Mad Deep Thoughts

Perimeter Editions - 2012

Edition of 700

$22

Excerpt from text by Dan Rule:

"…These are reflections on our hilarious and slightly disturbing state of affairs as much as they are gags. Payne’s works capture and wrangle the vaguely biographical images, texts and details we not only release, but also actively flaunt, in the increasingly pervasive public domain."
