About This Item
[Amsterdam], [Stempelplaats], [1979]. . First edition, 100 unnumbered copies; small 4to (185 mm x 185 mm, 7¼ x 7¼ in); thick synthetic felt leaves with rubber stamped illustrations of boxers in red and purple, title in black; stapled and bound with black adhesive tape, minor creasing to last leaf, near-fine; 11 leaves.
Ulises Carrión is a key figure in Mexican conceptual art as an artist, editor, curator, and theorist of the post-1960s international artistic avant-garde. In 1975, he founded Other Books and So (1975-1979), an artist-run bookshop and gallery in Amsterdam which distributed artists' publications and multiples. Carrión's interest in print culture and media led him to engage with mail art and, eventually, performance, film and video.
'The soft touch of the page, in contrast to the strong punch of the imagery, makes for a potent allusion to the exchange and repression of male sexuality' (Books by Artists).
