réf. 10113159 pp. & one leaf with index & colophon. Small 8vo 180 x 115 mm. orig. printed pictorial softcover spine worn author portrait on lower cover. Guaymas Mexico: Joaquín Mortiz August 1970. First and only edition of Carrión’s second book a collection of six short stories printed in a numbered edition of 3000 copies. In the 1960s Carrión 1941-89 was one of Mexico’s emerging literary talents; a number of his short stories had been published in leading journals and his first play El Gran Espectáculo was performed at the Casa de la Cultura de Tlacotalpan Veracruz to rave reviews. Following his studies in philosophy and letters at the Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México he spent time in France and Germany 1964-65 with the aid of scholarships learning both languages. Dissatisfaction with the Mexican literary world and local hostility toward the gay community drove Carrión to emigrate to Amsterdam in 1970 where he found a progressive and free-spirited milieu. From then on he conscientiously abandoned literature and fully dedicated his life and work to the visual arts in the form of books films social experiments performances mail art etc. This book represents the artist’s final moment as a traditional/conventional author preceding his conversion to experimental and avant-garde methods of communication. “In 1970 he published a second six-story collection De Alemania considered a more mature work. Here he has perfected the interior monologue which is the primary manner in which his characters disclose themselves. In some stories the salient characteristic is alienation but in others Carrión employs humor as a catalyst. Since such characteristics are not always mutually exclusive he does achieve a delicate balance between the two.”–Dictionary of Mexican Literature 1992 ed. Eladio Cortés p. 147.

réf. 1117720 leaves. Small 8vo 178 x 115 mm. orig. black printed dust-jacket perfect-bound. Geneva Switzerland: Ateliers Typographiques Héros-Limite 1995. The very rare second edition of Carrión’s beguiling bookwork composed of bound wallpaper samples one of the artist’s lesser-known books due to its rarity. The 1973 first edition published by the artists’ space In-Out Center was made in an edition of 50 numbered copies. The present work is one of 52 copies 26 of which are lettered A-Z the rest numbered 27 to 52; our copy is no. 42. This book is part of a series of re-publications that Juan J. Agius an executor of Carrión’s estate undertook to replicate the increasingly scarce and fragile bookworks Ulises Carrión 1941-89 created in the 70s. Under the imprint of Editions Héros-Limite in Geneva Agius produced second editions of Mirror Box 1st ed.: 1979 Looking for Poetry / Tras la Poesía 1st ed.: 1973 Arguments 1st ed.: 1973 and the present bookwork. ”In Ulises Carrión’s bookworks the ellipsis of the literary text is accompanied by an ellipsis of the narrative as can be seen in the listing of names or the identification of characters that are not linked by any narrative relationship within a story…In Tell me what sort of wall paper your room has and I will tell you who you are 1973 Carrión cuts out and binds together a set of wallpaper samples typing on them the name of the room in which each will appear. The names start in the first person my room then identify the members of his family and relations my parent’s room my sister’s room my uncle’s room my wife’s room my teacher’s room finally reaching a progressive lack of differentiation of the person to whom the room with the specific wallpaper belongs your room a room …’s room. The subtlety of this bookwork is apparent not only in the readymade of the wallpapers but also in the suggestion of a narrative that does not require a text for its construction: the simple association of the identities of the rooms’ owners in the first person informs us that the narrator has a teacher a wife etc. The progression of these identifications suggests a leaving of the family home to enter the world the framework of so many narratives found in short stories novellas and novels. The new art of making books permits the insinuation of a story without resorting to text or narrative…”–João Fernandes “Art as Subversion: Make and Remake to Make Anew” in Guy Schraenen ed.

1872réf. 55322Washington D.C.: United States Government Printing Office 1872. First edition. Softcover. vg. Octavo. 14pp. No wrappers with printed text starting on the first page. The printed text date May 14th 1872 relays an official Executive Communication from U.S President Ulysses S. Grant granting the United States Senate's Committee on Foreign Relations' previous request for information concerning the ongoing persecution of Jews in Romania and authorizing the transfer of said information from the U.S. State Department. The information here remitted to the Senate consists of a series of 14 pieces of correspondence dated October 6th 1871 - May 13th 1872 between the then U.S Consul to Romania Benjamin F. Piexotto 1834-1890 Second Assistant Secretary of State William Hunter Jr. 1805-1886 and U.S Secretary of State Hamilton Fish 1808-1893. The initial sections include the President's order the Secretary of State's introductory statement and a full list of correspondences included in chronological order. In the 1860s and 70s - following newly established autonomy from the Ottoman empire the unification of the Principalities of Moldavia and Wallachia and the ascendancy of the newly elected Prince Domnitor Alexandru Ioan Cuza - Romania saw a new extreme wave of anti-Semitic measures laws and attitudes. At the prompting of their respective Jewish citizens a number of countries in the international community voiced their opposition to these developments and sought to put pressure on the new Romanian government. In 1870 the United States entered the fray with the appointment of Jewish-American lawyer Benjamin F. Piexotto 1834-1890 as the new American consul in Bucharest. Piexotto served in Romania from 1871-1876 and was able to improve the conditions for Romania Jews during his tenure. He promoted the ideas of the Haskalah The Jewish Enlightenment and modernization to the community and among his numerous endeavors was responsible for improvements in modern Jewish education through the establishment of the Society for the culture of the Israelites in Roumania Societate Pentra Cultura Israelit Romania. Piexotto also funded the Roumänische Post in an effort to combat anti-Semitism in the Romanian Press. Ultimately his efforts are credited for strengthening Jewish community structures in the country and ultimately laying the groundwork for eventual Jewish emancipation as allowed for in the provisions of the 1878 Treaty of Berlin.

1864réf. 101729Np New York: For sale by all News Agents. Price $1 per 100. 1864. 4to. Broadside text in two columns; creased from prior folding and split at creases some toning and paper clip rust staining. Republic campaign broadside reprinting an interview with Lincoln by former Wisconsin State Assemblyman Joseph T. Mills and former state Governor Alexander Williams Randall. Lincoln vigorously defends the use of Black soldiers in the Union Army against Democratic candidate McClellan's strategy of leniency towards Southern States rejoining the Union: "The slightest knowledge of Arithmetic will prove to any man that the rebel armies cannot be destroyed with Democratic strategy. It would sacrifice all the white men of the North to do it. There are now in the service of the United States near 200000 able-bodied colored men most of them under arms defending and acquiring Union territory. The Democratic strategy demands that these forces be disbanded and that the masters be conciliated by restoring them to slavery. Will you give our enemies such military advantages. to get them back into the Union Abandon all the posts now garrisoned by black men take 200000 men from our side and put them in the battle-field or corn-field against us and we would be compelled to abandon the war in three weeks. . There have been men base enough to propose to me to return to slavery the black warriors of Port Hudson and Olustee and thus win the respect of the masters they fought. Should I do so I should deserve to be damned in time and eternity. My enemies pretend I am now carrying on this war for the sole purpose of abolition. So long as I am president it shall be carried on for the sole purpose of restoring the Union. But no human power can subdue this Rebellion without the use of the emancipation policy and every other policy calculated to weaken the moral and physical forces of the Rebellion." This is the first separate printing of the interview which was first published as "The Loyal Road to Peace and the Disloyal Road to Ruin President Lincoln on Democratic Strategy" in the Wisconsin Grant County Herald August 1864. The broadside also prints Grant's letter to E.B. Washbourne "The Rebels have now in their ranks their last man. The little boys and old men are guarding prisoners guarding railroad bridges and forming a good part of their garrisons for entrenched positions " and a poem by Bayard Taylor on the Democrats' presidential nominating convention.

réf. 9935Black & white illus. throughout. 16 pp. incl. wrappers. 4to printed wrappers staple-bound. Warsaw: Galeria Remont 1976. An extremely scarce exhibition catalogue published for Carrión’s first exhibition at Henryk Gajewski’s Galeria Remont. Gajewski b. 1948 the Polish artist and filmmaker founded this contemporary art space in a dormitory student club at the Warsaw University of Technology. The gallery operated from April 1972 to November 1979 hosting performance art exhibitions of photography stamp art and bookworks and many other events. This catalogue contains the artist’s celebrated manifesto “The New Art of Making Books” which had been published for the first time the previous year in Plural no. 41 in Spanish and Michael Gibbs’s Kontexts nos. 6-7 in English. Galeria Remont became one of Carrión’s most important international connections in the vast network of collaborators he formed. Following this show he curated another exhibition at the Warsaw space — Inne Ksiazki 8-30 May 1977 — and gave lectures and performances there related to mail and stamp art. Most of the text in the catalogue reproduces Carrión’s characteristic bold script. In a very frank artist’s statement he elucidates his pivot from Mexican literary wünderkind to avant-garde language artist: “After extensively publishing short stories and theater plays in Mexico U. C. began using language outside the mould of what is usually called literature. Since then rather than writing poems ‘in the form of’ an advertisement or a dictionary old literature under new masks he situates dictionaries phone-books ads or any other manifestations of language as autonomous structures. His aim is to reveal the beauty and richness of these structures regardless of their referential content. U. C. is still a writer — and he insists on calling himself such — who writes very little or doesn’t even write at all. This is a radical shift in attitude which enables U. C. to concern himself not only with verbal languages but also with any system of symbols he may come across. He presents such systems either in the form of a book or as a display on a wall.” A fine copy but for faint browning to the wrappers. ⧠Juan J. Agius & Ricardo Ocampo eds.
