Brian Roettinger
Issue #25
San Francisco, USA: The Thing Quarterly, 2010
412 pp., 6.5 x 9", ota binding
Edition size unknown

The twenty-fifth issue of The Thing Quarterly (who have previously published works by Martin Creed, John Baldessari, Miranda July, Tauba Auerbach, Ryan Gander, James Franco, Tucker Nicols and others) was announced today.

Brian Roettinger is an LA-based artist and graphic designer who gained notoriety for his music packaging and album covers, most notably with bands: No Age, Liars, and Beach House. Issue #25
serves as a kind of catalogue raisonné, documenting the majority of Roettinger's design work produced to date. However, rather than a traditional monograph, the works here are reproduced as photocopies, presented without regard to chronology and in various states of completion. Sometimes a work is illustrated by an early sketch or rough draft, or a printers proof.

It is available from the publishers, here, for $60.00 US.

Marina Roy and author Anakana Schofield. For more information, visit the Or Gallery website, here.

Maeve Connolly | TV Museum

Bristol, UK: Intellect Books, 2014
340 pp.,  7 x 9", softcover
Edition size unknown

"Maeve Connolly [...] keenly analyzes the medium’s particular public dimension to place TV alongside that flagship institution of the decaying public sphere: the museum. Her argument is supported by shifts both in readings of TV and in artistic practice. [...] TV Museum looks closely at the construction of museums as a realm of high art and TV as a realm of low art to show how these statuses were in fact constantly in the processes of being negotiated and legitimated, while suggesting that these concepts are both now fully under threat with our changing notions of the public sphere. This is the central (and substantial) contribution of the study to the field."

– Melissa Gronlund, Artforum

As the fifth guest in their fORUM series, Mercer Union presents Maeve Connolly tonight, with a presentation called Beyond Broadcast: Artists and the Future of Public Service TV. 

The free event takes place at the gallery (1286 Bloor Street West, Toronto) at 7 pm.
