Karl Holmqvist - 'K
This new artist's book, 'K from Karl Holmqvist explores different levels of textual interaction with art. Both as concrete poems or language 'drawings', in which words and letters come to form patterns, and through repetitions somewhere between sense and

What's My Name?
Informed by the strategies of dada, fluxus and beat writing, Karl Holmqvist's fuses concrete poetry with cut-up techniques in anti-hierarchical monochromatic texts often presented as self-effacing awkward live performance. Here, the text slowly reveals itself as the modified but recognizable lyrics to pop songs. Eschewing the authenticity of creativity and the idolatry of pop celebrity, Holmqvist prioritizes the cover version, and subtly mocks the machismo of pop celebrity with his queer interventions. WHAT'S MY NAME? contains sixty-six poems, reworking the lyrics of artists that range from Chicks on Speed and Grace Jones to The Rolling Stones.
Dealing with-Some Texts, Images, and Thoughts Related to American Fine Arts, Co.
The New York gallery American Fine Arts, Co.—whose name today is largely synonymous with that of its gallerist, Colin de Land (1955–2003)—represents a gallery practice in which a decided deviation from conventional models overlaps with successful activities within the framework of the art market. Today, American Fine Arts, Co. and de Land figure as uncontested projection screens for the desire for independence from or bohemian resistance against the dictate of the market. Particularly in retrospect, a consistent image of the gallery is not discernible. Faced with the obvious risk of romanticization, it appears all the more important to pursue an understanding of how American Fine Arts,...
I am an Artist (He Said)
“To be an artist is … just like shit in a clogged toilet, stubborn shit that can’t decide whether it wants to be flushed or to stick around” writes acclaimed artist Araya Rasdjarmrearnsook. Composed as an irreverent dialogue between masculine and feminine narrators, this book of essays is an uncategorisable fusion of art criticism, feminist theory, art pedagogy, gossip and autofiction. It is also an invaluable insider account of Southeast Asia’s contemporary artists being catapulted into international circuits since the 1990s. Araya’s provocative prose is lyrically translated from Thai for the first time by Kong Rithdee, one of Thailand’s most influential cultural critics.

Publishing Manifestos
Manifestos by artists, authors, editors, publishers, designers, zinesters explore publishing as artistic practice. Independent publishing, art publishing, publishing as artistic practice, publishing counterculture, and the zine, DIY, and POD scenes have proliferated over the last two decades. So too have art book fairs, an increasingly important venue—or even medium—for art. Art publishing experienced a similar boom in the 1960s and 1970s, in response to the culture's "linguistic turn." Today, art publishing confronts the internet and the avalanche of language and images that it enables. The printed book offers artists both visibility and tangibility. Publishing Manifestos gathers texts ...
Peacocks with Hiccups
The second issue in the Poetic Series takes its title Peacocks with Hiccups from the poetry of Berlin-based artist Karl Holmqvist, whose work is featured alongside American poet Catherine Wagner and emerging Spanish writer Luna Miguel. Artwork is provided by Koo Jeong-A, whose simple line drawings were chosen from a series titled "Dr. Vogt." Koo Jeong-A walks personal and cultural grounds to record relationships and comical encounters within landscapes and interiors. The Poetic Series brings together works of poetry and literature in combination with visual art, introducing young as well as established writers concerned with challenging the boundaries of traditional forms of narrative. Initiated by Keren Cytter and coedited with Fiona Bryson, the quarterly publications focus on three experimental writers or poets per issue--image content is supplied by one artist. Copublished with A.P.E (Art Projects Era) Contributors Karl Holmqvist, Luna Miguel, Catherine Wagner; drawings by Koo Jeong-A
