réf. 8076Single sheet exhibition invitation torn into ca. two dozen pieces. Amsterdam: Pieter Brattinga Gallery 1981. One of Ulises Carrión’s rarest mail art projects with the original mailed envelope sent to the collector Tjeerd Deelstra b. 1937. As the artist intended explained below a small torn portion is not present. “In 1981 when the Print Gallery Pieter Brattinga invited Carrión to exhibit his work there Carrión thought of a response project in which he instructed participants to reconstruct in any way they desired the bottom half of an invitation which had been shredded. They were then to sign it and mail it back to the gallery. The lower section of the invitation included a definition of mail art which the artist had torn up and from which he had then removed a small fragment. This way the definition of mail art could never be reconstructed and the instruction given by the artist was impossible to accomplish. The project resulted in 243 responses in all sorts of formats; not only intervened letters but also objects. By making participants reconstruct the invitation the project had a cyclical component that was emphasized by having the word ‘feedback’ in its title. In this way Feedback Pieces takes one step further Carrión’s intentions to reformulate not only the artwork but also the communication system through which it travels.”–Aimé Iglesias Lukin “King Kong Archives: Ulises Carrión on Mail and Art” in Ulises Carrión: The Big Monster 2019 pp. 11-13 pictured. Both the envelope and torn-up invitation are in excellent condition. ⧠Juan J. Agius ed. Ulises Carrión & The Big Monster 2014 pp. 120-35 pictured. unknown
réf. 8078Many black & white illus. Two large folded sheets 299 x 212 mm. folded unbound. Purmerend: Museum Waterland 1981. An uncommon exhibition flyer for a display of bookworks at the Museum Waterland co-curated by Ulises Carrión and Juan J. Agius. Both featured their own works along with those of François Bouillon Axel Heibel Diderick van Kleef Federico Sanguinetti Ben Sleeuwenhoek Ad Gerritsen J. H. Kocman Tom Ockerse Gèza Perneczky and Pawel Petasz. Several examples of each artist’s work are pictured. All the works displayed were drawn from Agius’s and Carrión’s personal collections. This catalogue’s text written by Alex A. M. de Vries is in parallel Dutch and English. De Vries pointedly notes “Two book-artists curated and arranged this exhibition in such a way that you will not see much of the usual mania for conservation which is being practised in most of the musea. This means that you will be able to take the books in your hands…This exhibition proves that artists’ books deserve to be shown more often and on large scale. And in an adequate way. The actual treatment like that of conservators in musea who like to take care of books as if they were dealing with radio-active material does not satisfy. A book ought to be in the hand of the reader.” Fine and fresh copy. ⧠U. Carrión Quant aux Livres 2008 p. 210. unknown
réf. 8079Coated paper with black & white illus. Assen Netherlands: 1982. The rare promotional poster for one of Ulises Carrión’s experimental public installations; the present copy is in particularly fine condition and has not been folded or creased. Entitled The Robbery of the Year this exhibition was designed by the artist as a test of visitors’ self-restraint. A large diamond was placed on a cushion without any enclosure but with a single spotlight trained on it in an otherwise dark room. Visitors were invited to enter the room while a photographer took pictures of the space and the visitors. An expected theft failed to transpire and near the end of the exhibition the photographer was withdrawn. Soon thereafter the diamond disappeared. “De Diefstal van het Jaar was an exhibition of a diamond in which visitors are surreptitiously invited to steal the stone raising interesting questions about viewing and stealing a precious object worthy of public exhibition and evoking images associated with museum heists with subsequent analysis on issues such as the value and ownership of objects on display.”–Guy Schraenen ed. Dear reader. Don’t read. 2016 pp. 44 & 164 pictured. On his series of public experiments Carrión is quoted as saying: “In my work I use all kinds of materials objects processes and people as formal elements. The final result is only partially determined in advance and the process that leads to that point is influenced by all the factors mentioned above. It is a game without fixed rules and with no winners or losers.”–Guy Schraenen ed. “We have won! Haven’t we” 1992 p. 69. In excellent condition. unknown
réf. 8080Single A4 sheet printed on both sides illus. on recto. Amsterdam: 1982. Rare flyer for the lone film made by Ulises Carrión 1941-89. In the years after the closing of Other Books and So the artist focused much of his efforts on video works eventually founding Time Based Arts a gallery dedicated to supporting video artists. On the verso Carrión describes the film which was “originally produced for the International Media Meeting organized by the Agora Foundation in Maastricht from 19 to 25 April 1982.” “Ever since his participation in the activities of the In-Out Center Carrión along with other Amsterdam artists shared an increasing interest in the possibility of film and video to document their numerous ephemeral activities and to work with the question of time…Carrión found in the language of film a support for his questioning of narrative widening the possibilities beyond what was previously limited to literature…In his only film the record of a performance The Death of the Art Dealer 1982 Carrión transfers into performance and film the type of processes he had applied to the literary text. Holding a small television set showing a 1940s film by Max Ophuls Carrión moves to the right or left to the rhythm of the movements of the characters in the film. The soundtrack is that of the original film but the narrative itself is ignored. Instead what one observes is a fairly unnoticed and typically forgettable structural aspect. In a way Carrión’s movements are like the parentheses and punctuation marks that he had previously used to strikethrough text in his pieces on certain literary works.”–Joao Fernandes “Art as Subversion: Make and Remake to Make Anew” in Dear reader. Don’t read. p. 45. Pristine copy. ⧠Guy Schraenen ed. Dear reader. Don’t read. 2016 pp. 128 130-31 pictured. unknown
réf. 713896 unnumbered pages. Thick 8vo 210 x 150 mm. semi-stiff printed wrappers. Geneva: Editions Héros-Limite 2005. The scarce second edition of Ulises Carrión’s famous Arguments 1st ed.: 1973 published by the Beau Geste Press. In the Getty Research Institute exhibition catalogue Artists and Their Books Books and Their Artists 2018 Zanna Gilbert writes about the first edition: “Carrión humorously interrogates the structure and content of books and the literary devices used by authors and playwrights. The titular exchanges in Arguments are indicated only by the names of the participants with no reference to the actual content of their disagreements. The distinctly Anglophone names are arranged in various configurations on each page of the book leaving the reader to wonder about the substance of the disputes.” As new.
