This booklet is a catalogue with a feel of an artist’s book filled with solely images + an ultra short CV. Anders Tornberg worked closely together with artists like Gerald Rockenschaub. Hence the design Rockenschaub made for this publication.

Mungo Thompson: ‘The idea that it’s a standard-bearer is probably the reason—it’s “The world’s leading weekly newsmagazine.” I’m drawn to things that have accumulated some consensus, some cultural agreement that lends them an ease of reference. Something has to be familiar before you can attempt to defamiliarize it. At the same time I’m very interested in Heidegger’s concept of “the distance of the near”—the way we stop seeing common things.’

This ‘book’ is one of the most outstanding visuals issued in the nineties as an industrially made artist’s book. The loose pages folded together as a book make each photographic double exposure on each spread an evocative experience for the eye.
Soon one year later in 2000 a second edition was published due to its success.
![BRUD / ADITYIA MANDAYAM, The Ooze, 2018 [book]](https://www.thearchiveislimited.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/AM.2018-Brud.ooze_.book560-150x150.jpg)
Usually so-called artist’s books with texts by others than the artist involved are expelled from The Archive is Limited. This book invites to make an exception. “The Ooze” contains 49 pages of the 144 that have been written by Aditya Mandayam. The front and back of the cover show drawings by the artist. “The Ooze” gives an insight in the thinking of Brud, but foremost these texts are based on opaque statements. This book has been categorised by The Archive is Limited both as “artist’s book” and “printed matter” for these reasons.
Interview and texts by Aditya Mandayam, an anonymus text, Chris Fitzpatrick, Andrea Liu, Michal Novotny and Kees van Gelder.
![ULISES CARRIÓN, The Muxlows, 1978 [artist's book]](https://www.thearchiveislimited.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/UCarrion1978themuxlows-cover700-150x150.jpg)
‘The Muxlows’ is the history of an English family from Yorkshire. I found it in 1972, in the city of Leeds, in the last pages of a badly damaged bible. U.C. Text by Ulises Carrión on fly leave.
This book is a dry list of names that goes back to 1835 when Thomas Muxlow was born. The first page of the book starts with this genealogical fact. In the first chapter “Parents names” mention birth and death. It is followed by chapters “Childrens names”, “Marriages” and “Other family events” listing no more than time of birth and death. In this way a family story is told as a drama, i.e. family members come and go. Again with this book Carrión’s shows his strong affinity with the method of archival order to set out a story similar to writing a novel.
ULISES CARRIÓN, Tell me what sort of wallpaper your room has and I will tell you who you are, 1974. This “2nd edition” as mentioned on the inner part of the cover is provided with handwritten pages opposite to the first edition that was typewritten.
![ULISES CARRIÓN, Dancing With You, 1973 [artist's book]](https://www.thearchiveislimited.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/UCarrion1973dancingwithyou700-150x150.jpg)
In the books Ulises Carrión has made, lists are one of his favorite methods to give structure to what is aid and shown; archival order, sequence, the experience of time, etc. In his book “Dancing with You” he has made a kind of ode to someone he likes dancing with. The musical scores on the cover and a list with poem-like descriptions of each classical dance makes the book into joyful combination of rhythm, language and music.
