These tapes concentrate on mass media and cultural politics and on the separation and itneraction of the two. Using the look and format of commercial television the artists insert their own images and agendas believing that 'the mass media -- television in particular -- do not reflect most people's lives.' The exhibition focuses on the collaborative tapes but as both artist have long histories as independent video producers -- Lisa Steele since the early 1970s in Toronto and Kim Tomczak since the late 1970s in Vancouver -- selections of their earlier videotapes are included as well."

1931réf. 28975New York: Grosset & Dunlap. c.1931. PhotoPlay Edition. Hardcover. Fair in Very Good dj. a solid copy apparently just lightly shelfworn but peeking under the dust jacket reveals an ugly dampstain running along the right edge of the front cover and a lesser one along the left edge of the rear cover although the book's interior is miraculously unaffected; the jacket although browned at the spine and moderately edgeworn shows no signs of matching staining on the verso leading me to believe that it may have been transferred from another copy before we obtained the book. 4 B&W film stills The romantic adventures of a woman in Paris by the author/screenwriter best known for his authorship of "Wings." This story was a bit of a multimedia sensation in 1931 -- the film adaptation for which this was a tie-in was released in August of that year and a musical comedy adaptation called "Nikki" after the main character opened on Broadway the following month. The leading male character "Cary Lockwood" was played on stage by a young British actor named Archie Leach -- who liked the name and became "Cary Grant" when he went to Hollywood shortly thereafter. The book was reprinted under its "Single Lady" title in the "Lost American Fiction" series in 1978 -- using this photoplay edition as its source rather than the Brewer & Warren first edition. The copyright page of this edition by the way states it to be the "Second Printing before Publication" but I believe that to be a holdover from the original Brewer & Warren plates. .

Visually similar to those iconic artist's book of the 1990s this publication is also very different from them in many other ways. Jonathan Monk opens the door to his secret studio. For many years Monk has been considered an exemplary post-studio artist working from a small desk a computer and a mobile phone. This publication reveals that he actually has a studio in the traditional sense of the word. A space in which he can be free for a moment to think about what is to be done. and if it has been done already never mind." In fine condition. unknown books

The latest edition in Jonathan Monk’s series of photographic postcards. Postcards are signed by the artist and mailed post-paid from the mailbox pictured on the front which is located in Brooklyn Heights near the northern entrance of the Promenade. The final condition of each postcard rests with the vagaries of the postal system. Monk b. 1969 has previously organized these postcard editions in Berlin Paris Brussels Mexico Winnipeg Llandudno Reykjavik Kirby Muxloe Vienna Melbourne Dublin Tokyo San Francisco Malmo Basel etc. ⧠From the ongoing conversation between Adam Carr and Jonathan Monk published by Collecteurs accessed April 2023: “I’d been thinking about postcard pieces and how I could make something really specific to a particular post box. The post box for me was a really important receptacle for communication. Sadly it’s becoming a dysfunctional part of our lives – I’ve lost faith in the postal system… but anyway the title was the thing that got me excited by the idea – simply descriptive but funny and poetic. Once I set the idea in motion it was quite easy to add cities to the list – all I need is a willing participant to post off the cards. These people generally become the publishers.” “Jonathan Monk is engaged in an on-going series of signed postcard editions all with the same title Picture Post Card Posted from the Post Box Pictured. At his solo ICA exhibition in London in December 2005 Monk made a postcard of the nearest postbox to the gallery in Waterloo Place to add to the similar postcards already published for shows in New York Edinburg Frankfurt Hong Kong and so on.”–Jeremy Cooper Artists’ Postcards: A Compendium 2012 p. 138. unknown books
