Cally Spooner. Collapsing in Parts. Ediz. Illustrata
Collapsing in parts was conceived as a form of thinking out loud, generating this 'single-take' novella as a solo exhibition at International Project Space. It was originally written episodically over eight months and published online as, when and however the parts were written.

Cally Spooner: Sweat Shame Etc.
From olive oil soap to WhatsApp messages: an absurd exploration of our contemporary ecosystem Across objects, writing, sound and choreography, British artist Cally Spooner (born 1983) addresses the manners in which specific technological and financial conditions shape and organize life. This volume surveys her artistic output of the last 10 years.
Cally Spooner
A tear, engineered in 1856 by Rodolphe-the adulterous lover of Flaubert's Madame Bovary-is dripped onto a breakup letter and sent to the heroine via messenger. "There ought to have been some tears on this; but I can't cry; it isn't my fault," he says, but not to her. Then, having filled a drinking glass with water, Rodolphe dips his finger and lets a big drop fall onto the paper, leaving a pale stain on the ink. Cally Spooner's monograph documents a large eco-system of 40+ works which takes the incident of this false tear as a lynch pin, to reflect on the outsourcing, hijacking, erosion, decay, or destruction of personal, subjective utterance, in a 21st-century hyper connected and financialized climate. For the monograph, Spooner describes each work in an active, present-tense voice, intercut with diagrams, drawings, culled, and censored correspondence. New essays bring into focus central themes that play out in Spooner's transdisciplinary performance work.

A World View
John Latham (1921 - 2006) is widely considered a pioneer of British conceptual art.His multifaceted practice encompasses sculpture, installation, painting, film, land art, engineering, found-object, assemblage, performance happenings and theoretical writings, the diversity of which is galvanised by his unique understanding of our place in the universe.This publication traces the trajectory of Latham's practice and brings together archival material, including documentary photographs, texts, correspondence and various ephemera, in order to build a picture of the artist's life and work. Latham saw the artist as holding up a mirror to society: an individual whose dissent from the norm could lead...
Time Has Fallen Asleep in the Afternoon Sunshine
Artists and theorists reflect on a "living library" project--people who memorize and recite books This book documents a project in which a group of people memorize a book of their choice, forming a library of "living books."
Shannon Ebner
Like musical scores, the text-based works of Los Angeles-based artist Shannon Ebner (born 1971) literalize and make visible the intervals and suspensions inherent in language. Her alphabets explore language's "other"--hovering presences like silence, nonverbal communication, misspellings, handwriting--and emphasize what written language commonly represses or takes for granted in order to function. But the mechanical processes of language break down under Ebner's close scrutiny; text and language are revealed as eminently physical, concrete manifestations of supposedly immaterial ideas. In her new artist's book, Strike, Ebner slows down the pace of reading to its zero degree--one letter, one page. With each letter looming as a monumental, monolithic symbol, Strikefosters a reading experience akin to our first decodings of the written word, when we started, as children, to learn how to do things "by the book."
