Women's Studio Workshop Wei Jane Chir.
Buddha's Tears.
Rosendale New York:: Women's Studio Workshop 2015. Edition of 50. 20.75 x 46.5 cm; 13 pages. Accordion. Paper: Somerset Book 175 g. Typefaces: Helvetica and Heiti. Silkscreen letterpress and digitally printed. Bound in cloth-covered boards. Signed and numbered. WSW: "Buddha's Tears exposes the hidden story of organ harvesting in China from prisoners of conscience such as Falun Gong practitioners. Statistical information is juxtaposed with poetic rendering of a legend of a statue of Buddha who weeps in times of crisis. Each page is filled with dates graphs maps drawings and stories concluding with a sutured image of China a symbol of healing. The accordion pages unravel to form a long scroll a traditional form of storytelling to lay out the facts of China's cruelty." Chelsea Campbell "Still Beating: Wei Jane Chir's Buddha's Tears": "Award-winning investigative journalist Ethan Gutmann estimates that in China 64000 prisoners practicing Falun Gong may have been killed for their organs between 2000 and 2008. Falun Gong practitioners have been persecuted for their spirituality and arrested as prisoners of conscience since 1999 for their direct opposition to the state's communist ideology. Only recently through detective work by journalists and human rights activists have details of China's illegal transplanting practices come to light. "Artist's Book resident Wei Jane Chir came to WSW to edition her artist's book Buddha's Tears about China's decades-long history of organ harvesting. As a practitioner of Falun Gong herself she's using her tools as an artist to make this information reach a wider audience. "The cover of Buddha's Tears is complex and mysterious mirroring the very narrative inside. Twenty different colors of ink combine to make the title almost invisible hidden much like the story of organ harvesting has been for years. In certain lights and angles the oranges and browns of the cover melt into a sea of blue with the golden title floating in the center. "Wei Jane's title comes from the legend of a Buddha statue in China that in times of crisis weeps. By referencing it Wei Jane posits that the undisclosed horror of organ harvesting brings the Buddha to tears. The book opens on a pair of downcast eyes then a bronze ocean then a somber quote to prepare the viewer for the story about to unfold. "Buddha's Tears thirteen tryptic pages are dense with visual and textual information. Combining digitally- and screen-printed imagery each page is filled with the history of Falun Gong its persecution and the legal cases brought against China. Graphs and tables of transplant numbers are paired with meditating Falun Gong practitioners; harvesting processes broken down in hand-drawn images sit beside covers of books and documentaries on organ harvesting. Wei Jane is an artist-meets-journalist providing facts and charts on the subject while injecting her own artistic vision throughout. "The cover of Buddha's Tears is wrapped in silk the accordion-bound pages unraveling to form a long scroll. Using the materials traditionally used in ancient Chinese storytelling Wei Jane ironically lays out the facts of China's contemporary cruelty. This sense of irony is reflected in the book's final image: a bright red China stitched together with black thread. Wei Jane's niece a surgeon taught Wei Jane how to do a surgical stitch over the silkscreened China. Women's Studio Workshop, hardcover

Feminist Ships.
Rosendale New York:: Women's Studio Workshop 2016. Edition of 50. 9.375 x 9.375"; 12 pages. Accordion structure. Silkscreen printed. Hardcovers. Signed and numbered by the artist. WSW: "Feminist Ships at its core is a history lesson celebrating the life and achievements of women on the water. On colorful pages mirroring the color palette of nautical signal flags this book describes seven ships throughout history and the women who sailed them. The accordion bound book is cased in a navy blue hardcover which was lightly sanded to give the allusion of being touched by the salty air of the sea. The linework of each ship is a perfect blend of fine art and the artist's own illustrative style." Chelsea Campbell Setting Sail with Megan Piontkowski's "Feminist Ships": "Feminist Ships at its core is a history lesson celebrating the lives and achievements of women on the water. It begins chronologically and fittingly with an Inuit boat called the umiak nicknamed the 'women's boat' because it was paddled by women to transport people and belongings. The book continues to move across centuries and around the world including the ships of notorious female pirates like Grace O'Malley and Ching Shiih; Molly Kool the first licensed female sea captain in North America; Sisters Under Sail a sailing education program for young girls; and Women on Waves an organization that provides abortions and women's healthcare in international waters exempt from restrictive laws. The last page features the rowboat built by writer Julia Holmes who takes solo expeditions retracing an ancestor's journey from New York to New Orleans. "Intimate handwritten notes on the book's pages allude to sailors' personal log books. The loose cursive describes the female sailors and the illustrations of their ships from a sailboat to a Chinese junk from a canoe to an Irish galley. "Megan's illustrative style renders her screen printed ships in flat wiry line work on bright colorful paper that extends the palette of her maritime signal flags. Every few pages the color switches abruptly from charcoal to intense blue to stark white to goldenrod ending with a vivid red. These pages become a unified pictorial field as each boat's bow or stern intrudes into another page. This implies an interconnected history which can be fully seen when the book is unfurled like a scroll. When completely laid out the pages resemble a series of flags that belong hung amongst the sails of a ship signaling new untold stories. "The idea that sailing is the exclusive domain of thick-bearded ruthless pirates and burly male sailors in white and blue uniforms is false. Megan's book begins to scratch the surface of women's rich history on the water and invites readers to question where else our narratives might be lacking. Women's Studio Workshop, hardcover

Nights The Cosmos and I.
Rosendale New York:: Women's Studio Workshop 2015. Edition of 60. 6.2 x 8.5"; 19 pages. Accordion fold extending from fore edge of back pastedown. Screen print and embroidery on Astrobright 216 g/m2 paper. Bound in black paper boards with illustration and title on cover. Signed and numbered by the artist on the colophon. WSW: "Nights the Cosmos and I is about the geometry of the cosmos. It investigates the aesthetic quality of the sewing thread as a graphic resource using embroidery to illustrate an original poem about nighttime and its wonders. Using the principles of subtlety and minimalism three colors of thread merge with silkscreen-printed lines encouraging you to take a more attentive look at the details thus revealing their texture and tactile quality. The binding choice-an open accordion book cased in a hardcover-makes it possible to keep the thread ends out of sight but still not completely hidden for the process counts here as much as the result itself. " Lizz Thabet WSW: "Brazilian graphic designer and Artist's Book resident Natalia Zapella often stays up all night. Mornings she says are for sleeping. Nights are for working under the still canopy of stars. "'There are so few things interfering with your thoughts. It's all about you and the stars' she says describing the kinship she found with the twilight. 'I would wonder looking at stars what is it like out there' Natalia's long nights spent gazing at the sky inspire her newest artist's book "Nights the Cosmos and I pairs eight celestial illustrations with lines from a poem which describes Natalia's fascination with a star-lit universe beyond her grasp. Oscillating between the personal and cosmic it hints at the galaxy's underlying order reimagined through scientific diagrams and geometric systems. � "Nights the Cosmos and I is deceptively simple: using screen printed NASA imagery and astronomical charts the book interprets highly accurate scientific diagrams with precise geometry. But upon looking closer you'll notice every straight line in the book's illustrations is actually made of sewing thread. White black and sepia threads run across the black pages to compose the Fibonacci sequence overlaid a spiraling galaxy; the Earth's axis tilted just so during summer solstice; and constellation points connected to form a triangle. A complex dodecahedron-created by over fifty lines of white thread-presents a theoretical model for the universe's shape. "Guided by Natalia's first-person narrative the pages act as windows through which readers can stargaze at the book's illustrations. Its sewn linework interacts with white screen-printed elements to create the illusion of a purely two-dimensional surface inviting readers to determine which lines are printed and which are stitched."

Watermarked sheets eated using flexible screens. Concertina bound with multicolored etchings silkscreen and encaustic drawings. Illustrated paper covered boards. WSW: "Inspired by Henry Miller's story The Angel is My Watermark and a 17th-century poem the "Song of Paper" by Father Imberdis the artist meditates on the emancipation of the watermark." Barbara Beisinghoff: "From January to March 2009 I produced an artist's book titled The Angel is My Watermark at WSW in Rosendale New York which is the largest publisher of hand printed artists' books in the United States of America. In my book art residency I wanted to do a book about birth and creation. "I handmade each paper of the book from raw flax as well as linen rags added abaca and cotton linter to make pulp for 900 sheets. I experimented with different beating times to get paper which would be crisp and create a rattling sound so when the pages are turned the song of paper is heard. The signatures are sewn on an accordion folded spine and open up widely. Three voices speak out of the book: the "Song of Paper" of Father Imberdis Barbara Beisinghoff's voice about the emancipation of watermarks and Henry Miller's The Angel is my Watermark. . "The first one is "Song of Paper" written by Pater Imberdis 1693. I silk screened the song handwritten on the spine and end sheets and in the book in Antiqua font. Jean Imberdis had written the "Song of Paper" in Latin. In this book it is translated in six languages: English German Spanish Italian French and Czech. "The second voice describes Henry Miller's story The Angel is My Watermark. I printed the etchings when the new-made paper was still damp. 'Every birth is miraculous and inspired.' Miller's voice is silk screened in a typewriter font. "The third voice is my own one about the watermark angel and the emancipation of watermarks. It is printed in the Century font. . The watermarked pages are created on screens where I sew on everything buttons and hooks threads and wires." Barbara Beisinghoff has been the recipient of various art prizes including the Senefelder Prize the Mainz City Printer Prize Art Prize Heitland Foundation and the Georg-Christoph-Lichtenberg-Prize.

The Color-Word Value Index has 44 word pairings; 10 colors; 5 suits; and values of positive negative and neutral. The book follows a relativist ideology that calls for reversals such as backward writing mirroring and the kind of doubling and flipping that is represented in the book's structure and imagery. With references to decor and architectural spaces such as a library and cinema the book functions as a mini-exhibition space and reflects Thompson's interest in the early modernist Gesamtkunstwerk."

The Tang of Height.
Rosendale New York:: Women's Studio Workshop 2016. Edition of 49. 8 x 7.75"; 80 pages. Screen-printed illustrations on newsprint brown paper and Seawhite sugar paper. Digitally printed text in 10 point Sans and Adobe Garamond Pro on Mohawk superfine paper. Coptic bound with a wraparound board cover. Signed and numbered by the artist. WSW: "The Tang of Height was inspired by Phyllida's discovery of recurring appearance of box kites in the biographies of nineteenth-century scholars. Taking that shape as a metaphor for philosophical method and 20th-century thinking the artist ties together the lives of Ludwig Wittgenstein Alexander Graham Bell and Nan Shepherd through archival fragments - images and ideas that resonate. These details connect across disciplines flickering between the abstract and the particular; the philosophical and the personal - a poetry of facts. The screen-printed illustrations as inserts float freely of the text and reveal non-linguistic connections between the stories." Kathryn Scudler "Taking Off: Phyllida Bluemel in the Studio" WSW November 19 2016: "Her artist's book The Tang of Height began when Phylly noticed the recurring appearance of box kites in the biographies of nineteenth-century scholars. The drive to rise above the earth seemed to pervade the era and Phylly began to seek out more evidence of it in history and literature. The book's title quotes Scottish Modernist writer and mountaineer Nan Shepherd writing in the 1940s: 'At first mad to recover the tang of height I made always for the summits and would not take time to explore the recesses.' "In her research anything that grabs Phylly's attention is saved in a computer folder containing thousands of files ranging from simply appealing images to historical finds buried deep in digital archives. � She saved an image from 1903 of Bell and his wife Mabel under a tetrahedral kite. It looked almost as if the kite were a superimposed graphic not part of the original scene. The deception of that picture stuck with Phylly for years before she pursued it in the book. "'I'm drawn to photographs that look like 2D and 3D elements are clashing' she explains. 'I find that quality related to the book in a vague but metaphorical way so I take an image like that and try to enhance that feeling.' "To achieve this using silkscreen printing Phylly sketches the figures and kite from the photograph digitally alters the sketch then makes it into two screens. She discards the picture's background and separates the grainy hand drawn figures from the kite through color and style. The geometric layers printed over the figural forms visually mimic how Phylly imposes a narrative structure on historical coincidences. "The photograph of Bell and Mabel became another starting point for Phylly's research leading her to examine the other forgotten offshoots of Bell's life. Working in this way she brings together themes spanning from flight to the Scottish Highlands to Darwin's theory of evolution building The Tang of Height as a constellation of charts maps excerpts of letters and other photographs. "Although this research project began with kites it ultimately circles back to Phylly's background in philosophy. Twentieth century schools of thought including Wittgenstein's work sought to analyze the nature of reality by defining the structure of language. Conceptually Phylly connects this attempt to 'put language under a microscope' with the aeronautical dream to look down on the earth. Theorists and engineers hoped that if they dismantled mapped and flattened the world they would expose its underlying composition. "Phyllida Bluemel is a graphic designer illustrator and book artist based in and traveling through England. She holds a BA in Philosophy from Cambridge University and her MA in Illustration from Falmouth University. Her recent projects explore themes of language philosophy interdisciplinary research and structures of thought. Women's Studio Workshop, unknown

Transparency Reflection Light Space: A Response.
Rosendale New York:: Women's Studio Workshop 2017. Edition of 63. 20.5 cm x 20.5 cm 8 x 8"; 56 pages. Letterpress photocopy and laser printed saddle stitch pamphlets in hard covers. Signed and numbered by the artist. WSW: "Transparency Reflection Light Space: A Response was created as a response to a 1971 exhibition catalog interview with the artist Larry Bell. Prior to the publication of the catalog Bell removed the vowels from his answers. Leah Mackin read Bell's obfuscated responses as inherently gendered in the context of the masculine legacy of Minimalism. They are defiant brusque and when read aloud Bell's words are unpronounceable guttural noises. Mackin presents the remaining vowels as a sort of harmonic vocalization since vowels give shape and rounded-out sound to the English language." Kathryn Scudier "Light Space Action: Leah Mackin's Response" WSW May 122017: "Leah describes her first encounter with the text. 'I read Bell's responses as a brusque bravado- that he didn't feel the need to answer the questions. He intentionally maybe aggressively refused to participate in the interview with this masculine ego associated with the history of Minimalism. Men would both strip space and take up space with large-scale installations. "As a response Leah accentuates this gender divide in her book with two saddle stitch pamphlets. The first pamphlet presents the missing vowels along with photographs of Leah deciphering the text. Scaled to the 1971 catalog and printed on white paper it's followed by the second pamphlet containing photocopies of the original text on semi-transparent paper. An extra panel in the book's cover separates the two sections accenting themes of absence and presence clarity and concealment which run throughout both texts. "Research for Transparency Reflection Light Space: A Response gradually reshaped Leah's first impression of the artist. � 'After spending time with the text I wanted the interview to be a conceptual piece in itself with Bell's extraction of the vowels in direct correlation to his sculptural practice.' "Instead Leah found a later interview where Bell admits to being evasive in his early career. In the same vein of making his words unreadable he would submit short stories in lieu of artist statements to avoid speaking about his work. Where Leah once read as arrogance in Bell's motives she sees vulnerability and uncertainty. "True to the original catalog neither section of Transparency Reflection Light Space: A Response discloses the artist's full responses; Bell's ambiguity is preserved. The book serves as an exploration of two artists' actions four decades apart in relation to an art movement that allowed no space for gesture or expression. Just years after the rise of American abstraction championed evidence of the artist's process Minimalists restrained from showing the mark or hand of the artist. "Larry Bell's removal of vowels divulge process and Leah's still researching the extent of role he played in their elimination. As the catalog was published before the digital era someone-possibly Bell-had to hand-scrape the letters from printing plates. While Bell's action is implied Leah's are featured through the pages. To balance these gestures she letterpress printed circles indicating both mistakes in the 1971 text and words she could not decipher. � "Photocopied sewn and bound Leah's book unfolds in two parts a response and call. Between the sections she offers readers a brief editorial note and leaves them to their own investigation. "Leah Mackin is a book artist and conservator based in Pittsburgh PA. In her work she addresses multiples abstraction art research preservation and performance � She holds her BFA in Printmaking and Book Arts from University of the Arts Philadelphia and her MFA from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago.

Some sheets are coarse like peony; others like rhubarb and leek are smooth and even. Burdock resembles a healthy smoothie stippled with variegated greens while kenaf has delicate hairlike fibers running throughout. "Susan spent her Artist's Book Residency in November and December producing the labor-intensive and unique book twentysix plants which directly references Ed Ruscha's Twentysix Gasoline Stations. Minimal and literal Twentysix Gasoline Stations contains 26 photographs of gas stations along Route 66 meditating on sequence banality and seriality.

YAMAMOTO S. Sanshichiro comp. Photographic Studio
VIEWS OF THE NORTH CHINA AFFAIR. Photographed During the Boxer Rebellion 1900
Tokio 1901 Yamamoto. Oblong album color pictorial stiff wrs. purple silk ties mild/faint center fold a remarkably clean bright copy 58p. 40 large photos 26.5 x 20 cm. 21 smaller photos ca. 12.5 x 8.5 cm. album size 39 x 26.5 cm. with a total of 114 b.w. photogravures. THIS IS A VERY RARE BOOK WORLDCAT ONLY LOCATES 3 COPIES ! THE BOXER UPRISING 1900 This work documents the results of the Boxer Uprising of 1899-1900 where in anti-foreign sentiments reached a boiling point. Several foreigners were killed mostly missionaries later when foreign embassies were besieged some diplomats were also killed. This resulted in the combined efforts of these foreign countries who teamed up to suppress this rebellion. This rebellion was mostly limited to North China where it began in Shandong province under German control and spread Westward across Northern China through Beijing. This work shows historic photographs of the foreign troops occupying Beijing Peking China. Good photographs of these troops in and around the Forbidden City namely those from Japan Russia France America and Germany. What makes this graphic work important is that it shows a good part of the Palace and other Forbidden City buildings as the were before the troops actually damaged or pillaged these historic sights. Each country garrisoned their troops in a select group of old buildings hither to unseen by commoners and especially never by any foreigner. It is a superb look at the inner world of the Emperor of China. THE PHOTOGRAPHER: Yamamoto Sanshichiro was a Meiji era photographer born in 1855 in Okayama Japan. From 1882 to about 1897 he had a photographic studio in Tokyo. Later when news of the Boxer Rebellion swept the world he quickly went to Peking to photograph the historic activities of foreign troops in the capitol including the Japanese. After photographing the aftermath in Peking he finally settled down in Tianjin and opened his third photographic studio. CONDITION: This work is truly an excellent copy externally and internally. There is a very tiny bit of edge wear at the lower right a tiny chip loss and upper left front corners. The purple silk ties are bright solid and very clean. There is a very slight hint of where this book was probably lightly folded in half but not hard and there is a mild hint remaining. From about the middle onwards there is not much evidence of this at all. By and large we feel this work is an excellent copy. There is NO damp or other condition issues with this item. Overall exceptionally clean and solid throughout. This is a very RARE book has seldom been found let alone in such lovely condition. A REMARKABLE COPY ! See photographs posted to our website from this copy. RARITY: Worldcat only locates three copies in the world. This is indeed a very RARE book ! See reference below for more information. BIBLIOGRAPHY: The author/photographer was noted for photographing and publishing two other superb photographic books on China: "Peking" published in 1906 and his stunning "View and Custom of North China" in 1909. EDITION: This is the FIRST and ONLY SMALL EDITION of this book. REFERENCE: Please see worldcat: http://www.worldcat.org/title/views-of-the-north-china-affai r/oclc/25266060&referer=brief_results Yamamoto Sanshichiro is amazingly NOT FOUND in any of the 3 Terry BENNETT books: .
