 Item
Identifier: CC-29926-31315
Scope and Contents Various paper stocks were used for the prints, viz., Centurian, Ferndown, Fibrex, Flexicover, Kendal and Soho cover boards, All British Cartridge, Astralux cast coated boards, and clear Acetate. According to Diane Kirpatrick (Eduardo Paolozzi, New York Graphic Society, 1969), the work was conceived as a giant file of text and image collages from the artist's voluminous collection. Each viewer is invited to 'edit' the book by experimenting with various arrangements of the sheets in the box. Paolozzi was concerned in this book between the relationship of Kitsch to technology. The color combinations of the inks are elegant with prodigious use of gold, silver, and copper metal inks. The moulded plexiglas box has a Dayglo pink color (other copies had this color or bright yellow or bright green).

More Do's Than Don'ts / Crombie, John ; Peret, Benjamin., 2003

 Item
Identifier: CC-42103-44104
Scope and Contents This poem by Peret orignally titled "Imperatit" was translated into English by Crombie.Wikipedia 2015: Based in Paris, the press was founded in 1979 by Crombie as a vehicle for his literary and design aspirations; since then, he and Bourne (who often creates artwork for the books), have printed by hand and published more than 150 small books. The design and typography of Kickshaws publications is unusual, involving a wide range of (often French) type designs, letterpress printing in multiple colours, and the use of unusual formats and binding styles, notably a simple form of comb-binding which allows the leaves of a book to be folded and refolded in different sequences. Textually, many of the books are either Crombie's own poetry or fiction, or his interpretations or translations of French or Francophile humorists and absurdist writers, including Samuel Beckett, Alphonse Allais and Pierre Henri Cami (the latter being a particular favourite of Crombie's, and a writer he considers...

 Item
Identifier: CC-28114-29273
Scope and Contents This is a critical essay translated from the German to French and English on the author's beliefs about a book. He discusses the book as metaphor by offering the following classification: 1) Book = metaphor for the whole of experience (vehicle); 2) Text = metaphor for the entire information of the creation (content); 3) Readability = metaphor for the experience (reception); 4) Reading = metaphor for the art of appropriation, active participation. Book of Nature = presence; Similarity = the world of language and thought is by analogy connected to the nature of things; it indexes everything which exists in God's accountancy (Divine Book). Book of Enlightenment = Autonomy; Classification = Reason constitutes itself in the gesture of keeping its distance from the world. Difference and identity are related by systems of measurement and order. It is the organ of meaning that endows subject (Bourgeois Book). Book of Emptiness and Speechlessness = Absence; 'Verwindung" = Transcending...

mythos chronos logos, 2000

 Item
Identifier: CC-35023-36744
Scope and Contents Vamp & Tramp: An artist book in three parts, subtitled "Chance Chants," "Timing," and "Logic." In this layered study of language and consciousness, Laxson explores the spoken and printed (or written) aspects of alphabetic cultures and an eventual diminishment of image-making because it diluted the potency of words. The book moves in a nonlinear fashion (even through the more linear sections ). To greatly oversimplify: Laxson begins in prehistory symbolizing the beginning of language as an extension of image-making by a combination rebus/word map. As a concept of numerical ordering develops out of the collective chaos—"We're here in the land of scheming"— the individual (ego) takes the stage. Ultimately, an inherent richness and diversity of awareness is abandoned for one that can be explained in words—"She: We all lost our capacity for awe and wonder . . when we started writing about it. He: But writing glorified monotheism, individualism. It invented money, prose, drama,...
