ref. 54371Belgrade: Galerija SKC 1971. Quarto 30.5 × 21 cm. Original blind-stamped folder with transparent title page; 32 plates on glossy card stock. Folder with slight signs of wear; preface with a few highlighter marks; else very good. First and only edition of the extremely rare catalog of the first two important international exhibitions of conceptual art in Yugoslavia which saw participation by renowned artists such as Robert Barry Joseph Beuys Daniel Buren Sol LeWitt and Lawrence Weiner. In April 1971 the exhibition "At the Moment" was shown in Zagreb and then continued in Belgrade under the title "In Another Moment". In Zagreb the exhibition of works by 16 international artists and 3 artist groups did not take place in a prestigious museum or gallery space not even in a white cube but in the gateway of an ordinary apartment building on a busy street in the old town. Three photographic images in the catalog document this simple inconspicuous gateway on the "Day before exhibition" "Day of the exhibition" and "Day after exhibition". The catalog makes it impressively clear that the choice of location was itself conceptual in its randomness and simplicity by placing the photographs prominently at the beginning. Apart from this seemingly random driveway the pictures show nothing more than passers-by and on the day of the exhibition a somewhat larger group of visitors and a VW Beetle driving past. The foreword by Nena Dimitrrijević also begins with the sentence "An international exhibition organized in a hall-gate of an ordinary apartment house ." Last but not least the aim was to desacralize art. The works were to be literally removed from their pedestals and taken out of the temple of art and onto the street. The "conception were the negation of the gallery as a constant and 'consacrated' exhibition space" according to the introduction. The duration of the exhibition was also unusual. The works were only shown for three hours. Although the Belgrade continuation took place in a gallery a disruption of conventions was also built into this location. The exhibition was interrupted twice to create new constellations. The crucial point however was that it was not the curators or artists who were responsible for the rearrangement but one member of the technical team in each case. In this way the two exhibition organizers Nena and Braco Dimitrijević continued the working principle of conceptual art of delegating as many steps as possible in order to interrupt the fetishization of art and the continuity of the work with the artist. The door was literally opened to chance. The present catalog also continues this concept. Instead of the usual bound book pages the catalog consists of loose plates placed in a folder which can be rearranged as desired. Although the plates are numbered on the back they are not arranged according to content but merely alphabetically according to the names of the artists and groups.The cardboard-like plates in the catalog can therefore be placed in relation to each other in a variety of ways. Thanks to the excellent print quality each panel is not merely a reproduction but an individual work in its own right. The folder thus resembles a transportable exhibition that can be rearranged by anyone. The greatest possible flexibility was the declared aim of the two exhibition organizers. Cf.

2008ref. 237102008. Near fine. Collection of 85 photographs: 14 11'' x 14'' and 2 5'' x 14'' prints in white envelope; 19 4'' x 5'' prints in small folio with protective plastic sleeves; and 38 11'' x 14'' prints in plastic sleeves housed in ring-bound portfolio with handle and zipper closure. Brief identifying notes to verso of all prints. Production mark-up notes in silver ink to rectos of a small number of photos. With loose sheet briefly cataloging the contents handwritten and signed by Cobb. Some duplication. Near fine. Portraits of Sol LeWitt wall drawing installers with images of the wall drawings themselves photographed over course of the 6-month installation of the Sol LeWitt Wall Drawing Retrospective at MASS MoCA. By artist and writer Chris Cobb himself one of the installers for the exhibition. From his included description: "These were made as tests for the final portfolios made for the museum & for Sol's widow Carol LeWitt. The portraits haven't been published only shown at Mass MoCA." Portrait subjects are identified on versos by first name and position title; of the several Wall Drawings visible most are shown in progress with a few shots of drawings #343 and #146 in a completed or nearly completed state. As LeWitt wrote in his 1967 essay Paragraphs on Conceptual art "When an artist uses a conceptual form of art it means that all of the planning and decisions are made beforehand and the execution is a perfunctory affair." Accordingly his Wall Drawings were recreated each time they were exhibited as Cobb detailed in a 2008 BELIEVER article: "Early in LeWitt's career he made the drawings himself but as demand for them grew it became necessary for him to rely on a small group of draftsmen who could faithfully carry out his instructions developing techniques specific to each wall drawing.I am working alongside my apprentice Julia on Wall Drawing #343. By 'working on' I mean that I am attempting to recreate from a brief page of written instructions a work of conceptual art." A remarkable collection documenting the process of recreating a body of artwork itself impermanent by design. And according to the photographer the first time a Lewitt work has been allowed to be documented in process. unknown books
