Best.-Nr. 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.

Best.-Nr. 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.

A scarce exhibition catalogue dedicated to books with rubber-stamped illustrations curated by Ulises Carrión 1941-89. His introduction is printed in Danish and English: “Time pressures didn’t allow for a wide research but I believe that the show includes most if not all the significant artists in this field. Some available catalogues and anthologies have been included because they possess a reasonable coherence in character theme or intentions. These criteria rather than dictionary definitions were also applied when deciding what was to be considered as being ‘a book.’ The show includes quite a number of unbound works; in all cases however they consist of a series of loose works that have been put between the same covers and under a common name. Many of the included items were lent by Aart van Barneveld from the Stempelpaats in Amsterdam.” The exhibition featured the works of Anna Banana Luciano Bartolini Peter van Beveren Cozette de Charmoy Robert Jacks Ray di Palma Pawel Petasz Dieter Roth Ruedi Schill Gabor Toth Dick Walraven etc. A few of the pieces are illustrated.
