 | Copied Right
Hester Barnard 15.24 x 22.86 cm, 636 pages, black & white, digital print, perfect bound, printed by Lulu Designed by Hester Barnard Paul Goldstein’s entire book International Copyright has been screen-captured from Google Books on a 21.5-inch iMac. Even the cover design has been taken from the Google Books preview. When signs eventually substitute the real itself, they are no longer simply a case of imitation, reduplication, or parody. Copied Right is not a reproduction of a copyrighted book, but it exists as an original document. The current limitations of the DIY screen-capture book publishing enterprise are revealed by the limit Google Books places on the previewing of particular pages. Over 500 pages featured in Goldstein's book is not shown in this book. £17.20 (plus shipping) GO TO LULU TO PURCHASE |

Prospoieesee Post
Edited and designed by Lou Macnamara and Edward Gillman 14.8 x 21cm, 24 pages, colour, digital print, folded, printed by AND Published using AND Public Prospoieesee Post is a newspaper documenting the real events of a fictional micro nation. Prospoieesee, a nation state within the walls of Central Saint Martins, Kings Cross, was a short term collective of Fine Art students. The state newspaper documents the ephemeral existence of an isolated community bound together by 20 squared metres of turf. The content crosses between a document of the real events and the fictional characters and consequences played out for the camera by the citizens. The paper examines both the format of news media and the construction of national identity with mounting cynicism yet it stays true to the playful nature of the original project. £2.50 (plus shipping) |

 | Shadows / Echoes II Marianne Bjørnmyr 200 x 155 mm, 64 pages, colour, digital print on Mohawk Superfine paper, hard back, saddle stitch, hand bound Limited Edition of 75 The book Shadows / Echoes II presents a culmination of perceived ideas, a myriad of stories and myths, where the authors of the material have become blurred. Photographs, statements and conversations have been collected in an attempt to get closer to a system of belief in Iceland, where the existence of elves and fairies are most certainly not considered marginal; nourished by a desire to convince and to be convinced, the artist has somewhat naïvely attempted, by the use of photography, to portray this other world. £90 (plus shipping in the UK) |

These ghost citizens live their lives as replicants of People Like Us, wrapping the boundaries of building sites with seductive promises. But despite their normalised and purged status of lifestyle pleasures, once they mix with us in the street, some unqualified, unrepressed matter lurks out of these images. This is the subject of this project. The Undead The Undead is a photographic exploration of waste matter in transit between states. The local authority's weekly collection of food waste bins, creates a proto-scientific observatory in which the commercial genre of food photography and the painterly tradition of 'nature morte' (literally 'dead nature') are converging into new aesthetic possibilities.

| An Incomplete Reader for the Ongoing Project,
“One day, everything will be free…” v 0.1.7 Joseph Redwood-Martinez A4, 274 pages, b&w, colour, digital print Published by SALT ISTANBUL using AND Public An Incomplete Reader for the Ongoing Project, “One day, everything will be free…” is perhaps better understood as approximating software rather than a book or an exhibition catalog. Just as with software releases–where version 0.0.1 is followed indefinitely with sporadic updates, bug-fixes, and complete revisions–the publication is, and will always be, necessarily incomplete and unfinished. The early releases include interviews with Regine Basha, Celine Condorelli, Katya Sander, and Carey Young, as well as texts by Michel Bauwens, İsmail Ertürk, David Graeber, Lawrence Liang, Matteo Pasquinelli, Elizabeth A. Povinelli, Dieter Roelstraete, Joshua Simon and Slavoj Žižek—but this is always already subject to change. The update to version 0.1.6 of the reader includes the addition of interviews with artists Carey Young and Annika Eriksson, texts by Alexandru Balasescu and Federica Bueti. The update to version 0.1.8 involves a new text by Eva Weinmayr and an artist project by Burak Delier. £12.50 (plus shipping)GO TO LULU TO PURCHASE black and white version DOWNLOAD PDF, COLOUR v 0.1.7 DOWNLOAD PDF, COLOUR v 0.1.8 |
| PING PONG Claudio Wichert & Clemens Wilhelm A4, 204 pages, color, digital print Printed by Lulu Published by Claudio Wichert & Clemens Wilhelm using AND Public The artists Claudio Wichert & Clemens Wilhelm spend 90 days in a house to make a book. Each day they produce one page each. Like in a match of ping-pong, each page is a reaction to the other artist's work from the day before. The two resulting storylines are presented in this book full of duels and duets. The media mix and only one thing is for certain: it's all or nothing. (With a text by Iris Musolf) (This book is in English & German) The 90-day-residency at Buitenwerkplaats (NL) was supported by Pepinieres Europeennes pour Jeunes Artistes in the framework of the Map Program 2011-12, BKVB Fonds (currently the Mondriaan Fund), TransArtists & Stichting Buitenwerkplaats.

| A Faithful Image Sonya Derman, Jill Gardner, Mary Hallam, Daphne Marr, Jean Stanford
Over two months, a small group formed at Southwark Pensioners Centre whose members were open to making art in less traditional ways. We used an intuitive, memory-based process of drawing, writing, painting, and discussion to explore the connections between past and present; between private and shared experience. Working through confusion to accept the production of awkward images, the group came to terms with drawings and paintings that ‘aren’t perfect’. These images reflect their own truth of seeing and remembering. £8 (plus shipping in the UK) |

New Society of Dilettanti The Black Merkin
1 Novel, 170 Authors. A crowd-sourced project managed by Laura Edbrook and Norman James Hogg under the transitory moniker New Society of Dilettanti. 170 individuals were asked to rewrite an entire romance novel using a ‘tribal’ model of authorship. Participants received sections via email to be rewritten following only a few basic instructions. The result is The Black Merkin—a ‘new’ novel bearing little if any resemblance to the donor text. It is equally a ‘broken’ novel; the unrestrained swarm of authorial impulsions hollows out narrative structure and coherence.

Roman Vasseur Mass For Real Estate
Mass For Real Estate presents us with an animated Powerpoint and text built from a combination of words and images that take as their cue a 1948 prayer of dedication for a new post war settlement. Evocative of the actual project from which they came, the two elements depict real and fictional artworks that act as places for gathering a fictional community that is nevertheless material and always in a state of ʻbecomingʼ. The work is inspired by Vasseurʼs role as Lead Artist for Harlow New Town, from 2007- 2009. £10 (plus £2 shipping in the UK) for printed pamphlet and e-mailed PowerPoint |

Neil Chapman Glossolaris 16 pages, 28 x 18.5 cm, b&w, digital print, clip fastened Designed by Nia Murphy Produced by AND ISBN 978-1-907840-03-6 Many of the books on your shelves have been important. They have been cited, engaged with and discussed. But there are some that remain more ambiguous in their contribution. Inspired by Gilles Deleuze and Michel Foucaultʼs technique of ʻdiagonal readingʼ and taking Stanislaw Lemʼs Solaris as narrative context, Glossolaris proposes a procedure for writing. The procedure draws marginal research sources more firmly into work. Scenarios for a new book emerge. They do so like phenomena witnessed on the surface of a remote planet. The new book will not be written, the scenarios will exist as a plan. £10 (plus £2 shipping in the UK) |
