John Miller The Price Club: Selected Writings 1977-1998 (Positions Book) by John Miller, LionelBovier Paperback, 192 Pages, Published 2005 by Jrp|Ringier ISBN-13: 978-2-940271-05-4, ISBN: 2-940271-05-4
"For writer, critic and artist John Miller, the issue of the production-reception of a work of art is a genuine dialectic. He argues that the artist has no choice but to address the sociopolitical questions and the ideological apparatuses linked to the production of cultural "artefacts." Hence, his witty title, drawing attention to art as commodity. From polemical pieces to extensive theoretical essays to studies of Ed Ruscha, Bruce Naum ..."

"First published in French in 1990, "Between-the-Images" unites 20 illustrated essays written between 1981 and 1989 by Raymond Bellour (born 1939), one of the world's most prominent film theorists. Bellour writes in his foreword to this English edition: ""Between-the-Images," which was innovative yesterday, is now a kind of archeological corpus. That is one of its virtues. It recalls how the landscape of the moving image was constituted ..."
"Tearing into the cultural fabric with reckless humor, Justin Lieberman (born 1977) launches assaults on media and pop imagery in collages, sculpture and painting. Favoring the handmade over the mass-produced, Lieberman gobbles up such materials as lottery tickets, newspaper clippings and advertisements and recombines them in the name of excess and transgression."
"More than any artist/writer of his generation, Thomas Lawson has the make up of a true journalist. He is an embedded correspondent, a polemical editorialist, sending his dispatches to a radically independent media that happens to be his own (or that he makes his own). Lawson always writes in the first person, from the vantage point of someone who is as much an artist, publisher, and occasional curator as he is a writer. Reacting to the ..."

"Paulina Olowska's paintings, collages, and knitted works explore Communist Poland's fascination with Western consumerism and celebrates the spirit of what Polish writer Leopold Tyrmand called the "Applied Fantastic," or the vernacular recreations of Western styles--while also paying tribute to American Pattern and Decoration art of the 1970s. This first overview includes an interview with Adam Szymczyk and an essay by Jan Verwoert."
"Orienting himself firmly in the media-present, New York artist Jonathan Horowitz replays the recent past in the incarnations of our times. This reprisal occurs particularly in video works such as "Maxell," in which the name of the now obsolete videotape company is worn down to a VHS blur, and "The Soul of Tammi Terrell," in which 1960s footage of the eponymous pop star singing "Ain't No Mountain High Enough" is juxtaposed with Julia Rob ..."

"No less versatile in his writing than in his installations, films, architecture, and sculpture, Liam Gillick unites his critical essays in this collection, most of which were originally printed in art magazines or exhibition catalogues. Lauded for his ingenious reinterpretation of Conceptual and Minimalist art, Liam Gillick has often used language, whether in type on a wall or on a page, as a site of artistic, theoretical, and political ..."

"Louis Thomas Jérôme Auzoux (1797-1880), a French doctor and naturalist, invented anatomical (and botanical) papier-mâché models that were widely distributed in the 19th and 20th centuries. "John Armleder: Out! (Out!)" presents a series of works by Swiss performance artist, painter, sculptor and critic John Armleder (born 1948) based on these models, which he acquired partly by accident, and somewhat mischievously. In a conversation betw ..."
"In his own lifetime, Swiss artist Xanti Schawinsky was best known for the theatrical work he developed at the Bauhaus. During his Bauhaus years Schawinsky made albums of collaged photographs and papers, personal as well as artistic. "Xanti Schawinsky: The Album" is based on the albums Schawinsky conceived during his tenure in the Bauhaus theater department, working documents which provide clues to his later work at Black Mountain Colleg ..."
