128 Extended Caption (DDDG) Stuart Bailey 112 34.5 x 24.5 Culturgest, Lisbon / Dexter Sinister, New York 2009

This book was published on the seventh occasion of Stuart Bailey showing a group of artifacts whose only objective connection is that they have appeared in the pages of Dot Dot Dot, a magazine Bailey edits since its conception in 2000. To exhibit a composition of individual images is the result of the fundamental idea to invert the regular hierarchy of the magazine, where texts are generally primary and images secondary. The book therefore contains a reproduction of the exhibition wall with all 43 artifacts, followed by reproductions of 43 previously published Dot Dot Dot articles, systematically presented as captions to these artifacts. With texts by Stuart Bailey and Jan Verwoert. Design: Roger Willems and Sam de Groot. ISBN 978-90-77459-37-9. Read more: www.dot-dot-dot.us/index.html?id=55

123 One Time One Million (Migratory Birds / Romantic Capitalism) Susanne Kriemann 122 22 x 27.5 Stedelijk Museum Bureau Amsterdam 2009

An original Swedish Hasselblad camera is the point of departure for One Time One Million. Because the camera dates from 1942, this object launched Kriemann straight back into history. Kriemann succeeds in pushing the concrete politics that adhere to this object into the background. That gives her room to say much more than she would have had a chance to say in a specifically political context: she can bring clusters together in new images, make new connections, rearrange things, tinker around, and thus arrive at new insights. (Els Roelandt in SMBA Newsletter No. 108)
Photographs by Susanne Kriemann, Viktor Hasselblad and anonymous sources. Texts by Cecilia Widenheim, Dieter Roelstraete, Aleksander Komarov, Sören Gunnarsson, Ulrika Flink, Ida Lowgren.

107 That's Painting Bernard Brunon 116 15 x 21 FRAC Lorraine 2008

With less to look at, there's more to think about. That was the motto Bernard Brunon gave to his company "That's Painting Productions" some twenty years ago, when his work as a house painter became his activity as an artist. This development didn't happen over night. The interviews in this book by Michael Kosch and Pascal Beausse describe the process and explain the motivations behind this trajectory.
