Michael Aschauer takes the viewer on his very own journey through a sequence of colour scales. Using his line-scan camera to capture a fixed-point on the ocean over a period of one week we see the light changing its colours, but even more we see how photography is becoming film and further an abstract painting. 25,00 €
The Salon Features Nr. 1 AGMA Magazine On Exhibitions We like to present the summer issue 2010 of the Vienna art magazine AGMA which is unique in its way of illustrating a selection of current international exhibitions. Confining itself purely to photographies of exhibtion views, exhibits and a floor plan, it draws the reader practically into the exhibtion and at the same time it leaves him without any explanation or interpretation. Is it this minimalism which makes the magazine so remarkable? It`s a new perspective on seeing art in an art context and being in an art context. 12,00 €	I like your work:art and etiquette Pamphlet on art and etiquette published by Paper Monument, with contributions from 38 artists, critics, curators, and dealers on the sometimes serious and sometimes ridiculous topic of manners in the art world. 8,00 €	Nijinsky Sriwhana Spong This book accompanies a multi-dimensional film project by Auckland artist Sriwhana Spong for Art Basel 2010, which began as a re-imagining of one of the lost masterpieces of ballet, George Balanchine’s The Song of the Nightingale. 35,00 €

I grabbed the hardback book off the shelf and started paging through and was immediately charmed by what I was seeing and reading. What was bound between those two red covers was a small sampling of the Great Bear Pamphlet series. Each pamphlet is simply produced with black printing on colored sheets of paper (each pamphlet a different color) except for Cage’s poem DIARY: How to Improve the World (You Will Only Make Matters Worse) Continued Part Three (1967) [fig. 1, and 4] which uses multicolored, and shifting type-faces to help realize his idea. The overall affect is a beautiful stack of reading. library – not for sale
