	TO ILLUSTRATE AND MULTIPLY: AN OPEN BOOK October 19, 2008 - March 01, 2009 MOCA @ Pacific Design Center Including 2nd Cannons books by Brian Kennon and Darren Bader To Illustrate and Multiply: An Open Book examines how sequencing, a characteristic of time-based media, manifests itself in various ways within artists’ books. Borrowing its title from an undated, limited-edition Raymond Pettibon book, the exhibition highlights conceptual strategies and formal processes, and explores how the ordering of information—visual, textual, and material—affects meaning in books. To Illustrate and Multiply: An Open Book constitutes the first large-scale, museum survey of artists’ books in Los Angeles since 1978, presenting work dating from 1965 to the present by both emerging artists who have begun to experiment with this media and established artists who view bookmaking as an integral part of their artistic practice. Featuring books made in exclusive edition sizes of 100 or less, but also those with wide distribution and print runs of 1,000 or more, the presentation includes recent examples made available in a reading lounge where viewers are invited to physically interact with them. In addition to the many exceptional artists’ books from the holdings of The Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles, augmented by those from several public and private local collections, MOCA presents a special site developed on moca.org that features animated sequences from selected works, essays by the curators, brief text entries for each book, and an extensive bibliography. To Illustrate and Multiply: An Open Book is organized by MOCA Librarian Lynda Bunting and MOCA Director of Publications Lisa Gabrielle Mark.

Aug 27, 2008: 2nd Cannons kills NYC (New Yorker review of "Artist as Publisher" at the Center for Book Arts):

“ARTIST AS PUBLISHER”
Three cramped “reading rooms” are about as well suited to browsing as a bus shelter. But among the dozens of indie publications on display are some great titles—“I Heart Darkness,” by Natascha Sofia Snellman, and “Good Morning, Evil Genius,” by Meg Cranston—and beautiful concepts, like Brian Kennon’s “Black and White Reproductions of the Abstract Expressionists,” in which the colors in famous paintings are indicated by squares printed in the margins. Other books challenge the very idea of bookness, like J. Patrick Walsh III’s stapled, photocopied “Spotlight Murders” or Scott Hug (publisher of the cult zine K48) and Billy Miller’s party-in-a-vitrine, complete with videos, homoerotic photographs, and ephemera. Through Sept. 13. (Center for Book Arts, 28 W. 27th St. 212-481-0295.)

Desertshore
curated by Jan Tumlir
August 23 - October 18, 2008
opening reception Sat. August 23rd, 6 - 8 pm
Luckman Gallery

Inspired by the title of the 1970 album by Nico [of The Velvet Underground fame], this exhibition addresses notions of progress and decay similar to those provoked by the cultures, geographies and metaphors of the American southwest, or, more explicitly, its “flattest landscapes” (Tumlir). Featuring installations, objects, photographs, and moving pictures by a range of Los Angeles-based artists, Desertshore takes an often melancholic look back while proposing challenging ideas related to our present and near future.

Meg Cranston reading
Good Morning Evil Genius (2nd Cannons) Hot pants in a Cold Cold World (Artspace/clouds and Jrp Ringier)
Thursday, July 17, 7PM

192 books
192 Tenth Avenue at 21st Street
New York City

California writer, painter and sculptor Meg Cranston will make her first appearance at 192 Books to read from her two latest books. Good Morning Evil Genius is a tragic and humorous roman a clef which chronicles the adventures—or misadventures—of the unnamed Evil Genius and is accompanied by a series of drawings derived from a children’s coloring book. Hot Pants in a Cold Cold World is a survey of Cranston’s work and writing from 1987 to the present. Cranston, a recipient of a Guggenheim Fellowship, creates work which encompasses object making, writing, performance, theatre and mixed media installation and, in these books, is for the first time lavishly surveyed in text and images. In her words, “the fundamental problem of art is finding a suitable form—a shape for your philosophy, a form that is as persuasive as language.”

Seating is limited, please call 212.255.4022 for reservations.

Artist as Publisher
July 9, 2008 - September 13, 2008
Center for Book Arts
28 West 27th Street, 3rd Floor. New York, NY 10001

Organized by Omar Lopez-Chahoud, Independent Curator

This exhibition examines art publications produced by artists and collaboratives. The publications selected for the exhibitions each embody a spirit of collaboration and experimentation and a DIY ethos. Independent publication allows artists to bypass the gallery system, and to make art cheaply and distribute it on their own terms.

Three teams have been formed to create reading rooms at the Center. They will work with the curator to organize the installations. These teams include: Diego Fernandez has self-appointed himself as coordinator of the Chilean wing of ARTISTS AS PUBLISHERS with Rodrigo Salinas (La Nueva Grafica Chilena) and Felipe Mujica (Galeria Chilena), Ivan Navarro & Ian Szydlowski (Instituto Divorciado); Rachel Mason in collaboration with John Knuth; and Scott Hug (K-48) in collaboration with Billy Miller.

The Artists include: Dan Acton, Devendra Banhart, Steven Bankhead, BARR (Bredan Fowler), Michael Bauer, Michael Bilsborough, Michael Blum, Brendan Carroll, Christophe Chemin, Peter Coffin, Reuben Cox, Jeff Davis, Jen DeNike, Sid M. Duenas, Chris Duncan, Christian Egger/Manuel Gorkiewicz/Christian Mayer/Yves Metter/Magda Tothova/Ruth Weismann/Alexander Wolff, Peter Eide, Eighteen-Thirty, Amir H.

Two upcoming screenings of William E. Jones's film Tearoom and book signings

6:30pm & 9:00pm, The Nightingale (1084 N. Milwaukee Ave.)

Filmforum
Sunday June 8, 2008
with discussion following by Jones and Bruce Hainley

Tearoom consists of footage shot by the police in the course of a crackdown on public sex in the American Midwest. In the summer of 1962, the Mansfield, Ohio Police Department photographed men in a restroom under the main square of the city. The cameramen hid in a closet and watched the clandestine activities through a two-way mirror. The film they shot was used in court as evidence against the defendants, all of whom were found guilty of sodomy, which at that time carried a mandatory minimum sentence of one year in the state penitentiary. The original surveillance footage shot by the police came into the possession of director William E. Jones while he was researching this case for a documentary project. The unedited scenes of ordinary men of various races and classes meeting to have sex were so powerful that the director decided to present the footage with a minimum of intervention. Tearoom is a radical example of film presented “as found” for the purpose of circulating historical images that have otherwise been suppressed.

Two upcoming readings: Julie Lequin and Meg Cranston

Julie Lequin
Friday April 4th at 7:30pm @ Skylight books
1818 N. Vermont Ave. Los Angeles, CA 90027 (323) 660-1175

Hello,
As you may know, I am not a writer but I work with writing, words, and storytelling and I am thrilled to be featured in the month of small press at Skylight Books. (The writer friends say it is a fun deal.)
With a microphone, a mini podium, and my little TV that looks like a helmet, I will be giving a presentation (Tupperware style) about my Book and DVD project.
My project is titled The Ice Skating Tree Opera – Director's Cut (as a Book and DVD).
In case you didn't know this project was launched in December 2007, and it is published by 2nd Cannons Publications. (It was a big hit!... Publisher Brian (P.B.) had to send it back to the printer.)
I am going on tour in early June, and at this point I am not really sure when (if) I will be coming back to L.A., so this is your last time to get your book personally dedicated to you (unless you buy the knitted DELUXE copy, something can be arrange then. Errr…)
Come on Friday, 4th of April, at Skylight Books, at 7:30pm (don't be late):
- to find out what's really in the book;
- to ask Julie what it is all about and make her stutter;
- to view some clips from the DVD (not sure which one yet);
- to figure out what's the relationship between the book, the DVD, and the Ice Skating Tree Opera and how it all came together.
- to hear live reading taken from some paragraphs in the book;
- meet Publisher Brian (P.B.)
In case you can't make it on Friday April 4th: You will have to buy (with a credit card) yourself a copy of Julie's The Ice Skating Tree Opera- Director's cuts by visiting http://www.2ndcannons.com/ or calling the 2nd Cannons Hotline telephone number- that is (323) 267-0650
About the book: "The Ice Skating Tree Opera – Director's Cut (as a Book and DVD) was in Julie's daily planner for about 2 years. This is Julie's first publication ever (probably why it took so long). The book is very nice looking (about 23 cm. x 18 cm.); it has a lot of colored pages (err… Publisher Brian complained), and some funny words. The DVD takes a while to watch so you're really getting a lot for your money. There are has some singing, gossips, and green screen videos.
About the author: Born in 1979, Julie Lequin is a French Canadian who makes videos, performs, and do watercolors in spare time. Julie is an active list-maker and she likes to waste time in making props for video, and sometimes she writes stories. Julie is leaving Los Angeles in early June to go on tour around the world (for artists residencies). No tears, it will be awesome. You can keep in touch with Julie if you check her gossip column: http://julielequin.blogspot .com
About the publisher: 2nd Cannons Publications is Brian Kennon's project. While Brian Kennon was walking from the living room to the kitchen, he had the magical and whimsical idea of starting his own publishing company. That was in 2005 in Los Angeles, he never made it to the kitchen then. We nowadays call him P.B. (Publisher Brian). 2nd Cannons has been blowing up since its debut.

Meg Cranston
Saturday April 12th 4-6pm @ Art Catalogues at MOCA PDC

Hot Pants in a Cold, Cold World is the catalog from Meg's recent survey exhibition at Artspace in New Zealand. A talk and reception will follow.

Preliminary data suggests: phonetic twain aleatory pudge / aleatory trophy connotation-congruous plain obtuse Mr(s). Whatevs But that’s not really it, is it? The Wu-Tang Clan is metaphysical prowess.

Symposium on Independent Publishing + Kiosk XX

September 6 and 7, 2007

Midway Contemporary Art and the Minneapolis College of Art and Design are pleased to present a two-day symposium on contemporary art independent publishing that will take place on MCAD’s campus on September 6th and 7th. Organized by Midway Contemporary Art and cosponsored by the Minneapolis College of Art and Design, this symposium will offer an overview of the burgeoning field of independent contemporary art publishing as seen by some of the leading professionals in the field. A wide range of topics will be addressed, ranging from the production and distribution aspects of non-main stream publishing to questions regarding the future of printed material in a digital age.

The symposium will be comprised of a lively panel discussion on Thursday, September 6th at 7PM followed by an afternoon of individual presentations by symposium panel members on Friday, September 7th. Admission to both events is free and the public is welcome to attend.

Symposium participants include:
Lionel Bouvier (JRP|Editions, Zurich)
Matias Faldbakken (Artist and Novelist, Oslo)
Brian Kennon (2nd Cannons Publications; Los Angeles)
Christoph Keller (Independent designer, editor, and curator; Germany)

KIOSK (XX): Modes of Multiplication

September 8 - November 17, 2007
at Midway Contemporary Art

Kiosk is a travelling archive of independent publication projects on contemporary art which is continually growing and changing and which currently comprises approximately 300 publishers, periodicals, zines, video and audio
projects –– all together around 6,000 publications!

The presentation attempts to provide an overview of the whole bandwidth and variety of independent publishing activities, a broader perspective on the various models of multiplication and distribution of artistic ways of working
and to get across an idea of the diverse strategies, motivations, and programs of the participating publishers’ projects. Individual artists’ publications are not the main focus ofattention, but rather the ways in which publishers and editors – the people »behind the scenes« – work.

The selection of projects presented is not representative, but has accidentally developed out of various international relations among colleagues. The project was initiated in 2001 by Christoph Keller ,founder and former director of the Frankfurt based publishing house, Revolver – Archiv für aktuelle Kunst. As an exhibition it has been shown 15 times in the past five years and will travel back to Europe at the end of 2007.
