(MATTA-CLARK, GORDON) (FOOD). Morris, Catherine. Bremen, & Koln, GERMANY: Westfalisches Landesmuseum fur Kunst und Kulturgeschichte & Buchhandlung Walther Konig, 1999. First Edition. 4to. Stapled Illustrated Wrappers. Artist Monograph. Fine.. 48pp, profusely illustrated in b&w. Text in English and German. From 1971 through 1974, "Food" was the unique, artist-run restaurant located at the corner of Prince and Wooster Streets in New York's SoHo. It was designed and built by Gordon Matta-Clark - this project marking the first instance of his architectural cutting and reconfiguration - and administered primarily by Matta-Clark, Caroline Goodden, Tina Girouard, Rachel Lew, and Suzy Harris. "Food" was conceived as a vibrant yet inexpensive oasis where the local artistic community (which included neighbors 112 Greene Street, Avalanche Magazine, Phillip Glass, etc.) would be able to dine, drink, and exchange ideas. It became "a creative environment where artists were guest chefs, films were made, dancers performed, and art was discussed, inspired and produced". This is the informative, well-illustrated catalogue for a 1999 exhibition on the project curated by Catherine Morris for White Columns in New York that was shown at Bremen's Westfalisches Landesmuseum fur Kunst und Kulturgeschichte. A most handsome example of this exceedingly uncommon document showing a bit of light patination to the rear cover. 3-88375-435-8 Inventory Number: 027248

(MEISELAS, SUSAN). Meiselas, Susan. Göttingen, GERMANY & New York. 1976 (2003).: Steidl & The International Center of Photography, 2003. First Edition. 4to. Pictorial Boards. Photography Monograph. As New/No Jacket - As Issued. 96pp, profusely illustrated in color and b&w. "In her most recent body of work, acclaimed photographer Susan Meiselas pieces together verbal and visual traces of encounters with the Dani - an indigenous people of the West Papuan highlands of New Guinea from the nearly six decades since their "discovery" by the West. In this subjective, fragmentary history, Meiselas draws from the experiences of missionaries, colonists, anthropologists and modern-day ecotourists, all of whom have come to the Dani's Baliem Valley and transformed the conditions under which they live. The ambiguous relations between power and representation - whether in the form of Dutch colonial patrol notes from the 1930s, the sensationalized media accounts of the survivors of a downed U.S. army plane in "Shangri-La" from the 1940s or a tourist’s snapshots from the 1990s - become visible in Meiselas's book, through both the contradictions and unexpected continuities of the gathered materials". Published in conjunction with the 2003 exhibition "Strangers: The First ICP Triennial of Photography and Video", this is a beautifully produced collage-like companion to the photographer's 1997 work; "Kurdistan: In the Shadow of History". A brand new, pristine example of the 2003 first edition (cited on page 245 of Fred Ritchin and Carole Naggar's "Magnum Photobook: A Catalogue Raisonné") additionally SIGNED AND DATED by Susan Meiselas in silver marker on the title page. 3-88243-930-0 Inventory Number: 007334
