WE ARE LIVING LIKE LOST CHILDREN, OUR DREAMS INCOMPLETE
(KUGELBERG, JOHAN). Kugelberg, Johan. NP (New York): Ectoplasm Press, 2008. First Edition. Small Oblong 8vo. Pictorial Wrappers. Artist's Book. Fine.. np (52pp), profusely illustrated in color and b&w. Self-published in a limited edition ("as the sun will go supernova at some point"), this is Johan Kugelberg's highly visual, thought-provoking 2008 artist's book that juxtaposes photographs - most seemingly found or appropriated via the internet - with the noted New York-based critic, curator and gallerist's pithy observations on the place of consumption in contemporary society. A pristine copy of this uncommon item obtained directly from the author bearing the press' messily rubber-stamped Latin motto "Quis Nos Operor Est Specialis (What We Do is Special)" on the rear cover, as issued.
