Bookmarking Book Art - An Online Annotation of Germano Celant's “Book as Artwork 1960/1972”

Bookmarking Book Art – An Online Annotation of Germano Celant’s “Book as Artwork 1960/1972”

Where to go to compare and contrast the book art in Germano Celant’s pioneering “catalogue” of the Nigel Greenwood Gallery exhibition in London (1972) with that of the last half century?

Being a sort of small and portable catalogue and curator’s explanation for the gallery’s exhibition of ca. 300 works, Celant’s Book as Artwork is arranged chronologically and then alphabetically by artist.…

Feast your eyes and your shelves on August’s

SPD Recommends *Backlist*,

ten titles that continue to rock our world. Maybe they’ll rock yours too…

1. Poems of the Black Object - Ronaldo Wilson

"[A] warning to anyone tempted to believe that in objectification lies freedom. Livid inside an apocalyptic negative capability, these poems are constructed through their maker's deconstruction, and reading, I too, felt unmade."—Claudia Keelan

2. Sherwood Forest - Camille Roy

"In its capacity to stop time, SHERWOOD FOREST opens its reader to a future made ‘suddenly visible.’ A ‘narration’ that's both ‘desire’ and what incubates it: the capacity to ‘float.’ Imagine a forest floating in the air. Camille Roy does this. She is a writer who lets her reader dream, past tree-line. Where the sentences flare and dim, like 'sexy bodies.' Like a memory of touch. Like ‘body parts’ and 'tissue' - a luminous genitalia - above a pond."—Bhanu Kapil

3. Maribor - Demosthenes Agafiotis

"MARIBOR gives us both artifact—of the ephemera of communication, institutions, power—as well as blueprint for imagining an 'alphabet of the future.' A master of the contemporary hermetic, Agrafiotis can bring to light in one stroke both the evanescence and endurance of the writing on the wall."—Eleni Stecopoulos

4. Hurdis Addo - Samantha Giles

"Conceptual poetics + wed to + a dedication to social justice = a book with sharp edges and intriguing reading dynamics. Definitely recommended." — Kevin Killian

5. The Lizard Club - Steve Abbot

"Steve Abbot's THE LIZARD CLUB is funny, angry, suspenseful and totally new. It's like a Xerox of tragedy, Pandora without her box. Read it and feel your tongue growing and growing until you can flick flies out of the air."—Kevin Killian.

6. Inter Arma - Lauren Shufran

"Laura Shufran's meter-making argument stings with ludic blows bent to send the line aquiver. Weaponized with duck soup and chicken rimes (a baker's dozen haptic hexes of heptameter), INTER ARMA is the neoclassical nude formalism that the times demand. With searing wit and virtuosic élan, Shufran's epic lyrics hit homers every time."—Charles Bernstein

7. Haecceities - Michael Cross

"In HAECCEITIES, Michael Cross has made an interim language, his invention a relation between the words—as if this unknown relation or 'noumenon' is 'a hide enthinned' of futuristic Elizabethan single words each at once tactile, optical, aural simultaneously traces and events of reinterpreted future-present spurred in 'the many hundred wing-lit hives'"—Leslie Scalapino.

8. C.C. - Tyrone Williams

"Slanging each other we drift apart. Maybe there is a war outside. Will web sites continue to explode? The poems in C.C. are tense, troubled, intricately terse. In this powerful collection Tyrone Williams explores the boundaries between poetry, politics, and history."—Susan Howe

9. Negativity - Jocelyn Saidenberg

"'Rejecting that which cannot be recaptured' makes negativity prelude to a form of freedom, and the psychosexual progress Saidenberg’s pilgrim traces from 'Destruction as a Cause of Becoming' to the knotty resolve of CARNAL achieves a “music of exhaust and darkening horizons” that’s entirely the poet’s own: 'Figures retie the circle, then release into shape.’” —Rodney Koeneke

10. Democracy Is Not for the People - Josef Kaplan

"This book works exactly as I expected (of course you have to use as directed). I was very happy with my purchase, and with the cop being on fire. I am not sure we should mug the wealthy, of course." —Diana Hamilton
