FIONA BANNER, ISBN 978-1-907118-99-9, 2010

Fiona Banner’s practice centres on possibilities of language. From her ‘wordscapes’ to her use of a found and transformed military aircraft, Banner juxtaposes aggressiveness and the sensual, performing elements of intimacy, attraction and alienation. The artist alternates between the pathos of battle in her monumental sculptures, and a sense of humor in her works on paper in relation to how we mythologize our history, based on our willingness to be seduced by myths.
Each book has its own title, i.e. each print in this edition is the same and yet each is unique. Each one has its own ISBN number and is registered under its own individual title. Each one of the edition is therefore an official publication and each is an edition in, and only of, itself. An edition of one… a book reduced to a reference, purely an imagined space.
Originally the edition of this series was 20. At a later stage the edition was extended to 65.
“A vanity press or vanity publisher is a term describing a publishing house in which authors pay to have their books published. In contrast, mainstream publishers, whether major companies or small presses, derive their profit from sales of the book to persons other than the author. Publishers must therefore be cautious and deliberate in choosing to publish works that will sell, particularly as they must recoup their investment in the book (such as an advance payment and royalties to the author, editorial guidance, promotion, marketing or advertising). In order to sell books, commercial publishers may also be selective in order to cultivate a reputation for high-quality work, or to specialize in a particular genre.” Wikipedia 2012

Christian Marclay’s practice is often related to sounds, music and sound carriers. ‘Carpe Diem’ is a watch ticking in time and place, although different from a regular one. A clock face lacks, instead this artwork has a flat silver reflective face, with ball bearings within, creating a jangling and defunct tik-tok sound.

published by Texte zur Kunst, Berlin, Germany
Isa Genzken is in her work definitively challenged by the notion of sculpture and its practice. Here Genzken engages herself with the artist’s self-representation in a tension between a found internet image and her identity showing herself horizontally hidden behind the head of Leonardo da Vinci’s “Mona Lisa“. Genzken says about ready mades: ‘I have always said that with any sculpture you have to be able to say, although this is not a ready-made, it could be one. That’s what a sculpture has to look like. It must have a certain relation to reality’.

Originally “Sindbad” is the title of a series of 98 pictures, painted on the back of panes of glass in 30 x 24 cm format, from 2008. In their first exhibition, Richter paired them as diptychs, like 49 double pages.
The concept of this book was already clear at the time of their painting. Richter decided to reproduce all of the pictures in original format, cut over three pages, leaving a bar of two centimetres blank at the binding. This gives the book its form. The seven texts about ‘Sinbad the Sailor’, each set in three columns over double pages, give structure to the extensive, “fairytale” series. The banderole around the book contains an introduction to the journey. Every detail – paper, typography, layout and flow of the book – was decided by the artist. “Sinbad” (in German “Sindbad”) is without doubt a further highlight in Gerhard Richter’s series of artist’s books.
Sindbad is the title of a series of 98 lacquer pictures made in 2008, painted on the back of 12 x 10-inch panes of glass. For their first public exhibition, Richter paired them as 49 diptychs, which resembled 49 book-page spreads, pointing towards the possible ideal incarnation of these works as a large-format artist’s book. Using silkscreen printing, this volume reproduces all 98 of the pictures at their original dimensions. Seven texts, on the theme of Sinbad the Sailor (in German only), are interleaved with these magnificent images, and a bellyband around the book offers a concise introduction to the work.
