Ken Lum & Hubert Damisch | Ultimo Bagaglio





Ken Lum & Hubert Damisch
Ultimo Bagaglio
Paris, France: Three Star Books, 2008
33.5 x 28 x 7.5 cm
Edition of 15 signed and numbered copies

Hubert Damisch (1928 – 2017) was a French philosopher and professor at the École des Hautes Études en Sciences Sociales in Paris from 1975 until 1996. His analysis of images has spanned from art, to architecture, to film, and the museum itself. This collaboration with Vancouver artist Ken Lum consists of a box containing an essay, an instruction leaflet, a hotel pen, a single sock, a miniature Eiffel Tower, a dictionary, a small mirror, a nail clipper, a black stone, a small lock, a key, a bamboo object, a DVD, a Vancouver bus ticket, sheet of music, and four passport photos.



"Artist Ken Lum and writer Hubert Damisch change roles and swap ideas in this 21st century update of the Duchampian boite en valise. The object, a book and suitcase, contains a meditation on traveling and memory by Damisch, and a selection of objects suggested by Ken Lum, and sourced in Europe and North America. Traveling, writing, thought, and the storing of memory are alluded to in what appears like a surgeon’s kit. The Roman writer Cicero once suggested locating the points of an orated speech around different objects remembered in a room, in his famous text on the art of rhetoric. In the hands of Lum and Damisch, the difference between objects and writing is elided, much in the way that their symbiotic artistic collaboration has united historically opposed professions."

Tauba Auerbach | Stab / Ghost










Tauba Auerbach
Stab / Ghost
Paris, France: Three Star Books, 2013
100 pp., 30 x 40 x 2.5 cm., PVC stab binding
Edition of 10 copies

100 sheets of 250 microns Lexan with 4 colour silkscreen print are bound using the Japanese stab binding method and presented on a light box plinth. The work is accompanied by a numbered and signed certificate by the artist. It is valued at approximately $40 000 US.


"In the world of artist’s books, there is a certain disdain for the elaborately handmade bookwork. Artists who invest too much in the choice of paper or type of print - let alone binding, or elements such as pop-ups - are considered outside the critical discourse. Tauba Auerbach changes this discussion. She joins a phalanx of predominantly female artists who have embraced skills that might be called 21st century morphs of deliberately handcrafted books, sometimes alluding to pop-ups, or weaving, or pattern-making, as a kind of abstraction that seems derived if not suited ideally for a domestic context. Auerbach moves easily between process and mediums, and her technical knowledge of materials, plus her wide-ranging “sampling” are her trademark. STAB/GHOST, is a translucent book composed of clear plastic pages, silkscreened with patterns, sewn with lanyards of plastic thread, and mounted on a specially designed light table. True to her interest in complex geometries and color theory, the book also functions as a light sculpture."

Holiday Recommendation Guest Post: John Cook








Jonathan Monk is always surprising. Somehow combining strategies of appropriation with those of conceptual art. The work is also affectionate. He loves Sol Lewitt. Turns out he also loves African fabrics, his house and studio being no stranger to the strong colours and patterns of this wax resist cloth. The fact that Franz West used it, as does Yinka  Shonibare is not a problem. Quite the opposite. Originality is another thing Monk gently undermines. Besides, they are beautiful.

Monk has produced two very interesting works with "Three Star Press". The first is a small edition book of 24 fabric ‎samples on which are screened Lewitt isometric drawings of geometric forms. The second is an edition of large monoprints on the same fabrics of groupings of Lewitt 's isometric drawings. A few copies of each remain available from Three Star Press.

Wax resist cloth ‎has an extraordinary story which Monk is tapping in to. Grossly oversimplified : Dutch traders found they could sell Indonesian batik in west Africa. Then Dutch fabric makers decided to make the cloth for sale in Africa, skipping Indonesia, appropriating the look of batik. African traders started making the cloth themselves, resembling and adding to the bold colours and patterns of its origins.  More recently Chinese manufacturers have actively copied African designs and manufacturers labels using industrial printing methods, selling the cloth to the African diaspora in places like Paris. Monk found his many times appropriated fabric in Paris.


John Cook is an architect in practice and teacher of Architecture ‎at Carleton University. He occasionally plays hookey at lunchtime to visit the National Gallery's extraordinary collection of artist books and multiples. He has been interested in multiples and works which were intended to circulate outside galleries since childhood. More recently Dave Dyment convinced him that includes books.
