The volume presents itself as a ‘meta-book’, that is a collection of Ettore Spalletti’s production concerning books, intended as works, artist’s books, editions and catalogues. ''Artist’s books often do not get the same attention artists’ other works receive. And there are even fewer books on artist’s books. I believe it is of crucial importance that books as an artist’s medium are presented alongside their other works. The passion and precision with which Spalletti has worked on his books throughout his trajectory presents a wonderful example of their importance in an artist’s oeuvre.'' - from the preface by Hans Ulrich Obrist.

Summary:
This book features Pousttchi’s new photographic installation at Nivola Museum in Orani on the Italian island of Sardinia. She chose the Metropolitan Life Building on 1 Madison Avenue in Manhattan as her subject for this piece. Criticized for its blatant Italian references at the time of its completion in 1909 — and the world’s tallest structure until 1913 — the building displays a hybrid identity, recalling cultural and temporal-spatial dislocations between the Old and the New World, Renaissance and Modernism.

Summary:
This first volume of JRP|Ringier’s complete John Baldessari writings project traces the genesis and development of the artist’s understanding of art in the early 1960s. More Than You Wanted to Know About John Baldessari presents Baldessari as storyteller, moralist, teacher and occasional gadfly, always concerned to accomplish what he describes as the central task of art making: to communicate in a way that people can understand. These writings address everything from matters of color in sculpture, to the dilemmas of art students in need of ideas, to the art world’s ever-conflicted relationship with money, while always returning to Baldessari’s love of language and his longstanding investigation into the tensions of word and image.

« Are you here ? » compile pour la première fois les dessins au tampon que Hans Ulrich Obrist compose depuis des années. Ses compositions, parfois organisées en grappes ou en listes, flirtent avec la poésie concrète. Parfois rendus illisibles, ces leitmotivs peuvent noircir l'intégralité de la page à la suite de performances proches de la transe. Cette pratique est un exutoire pour l'auteur, un moment durant lequel il fait appel, à la manière d'un chamane, aux éléments de langage qui sont les siens. // ''Are you here?'' compiles for the first time the stamp drawings that Hans Ulrich Obrist has composed for years. Organized in clusters or lists, these poems flirt with concrete poetry. Sometimes made unreadable, these leitmotivs composed of his very own elements of language can blacken the entire page as a result of performances close to trances- a real outlet for the author.
