ABRAMOVIC, MARINA & ULAY (LAYSIEPEN, UWE)
relation in space. performance 1 at venice biennale july 16th 1976.
Cavallino, Venice, Italy.   1977.
Portfolio containing one folio and seven gelatin silver prints. Hard covers. Title printed in white on black portfolio. Photographs by Piccolo Sillani. Each print is rubber stamped on the verso. Number 13 of an edition of 30 copies. Signed by M. Abramovic and Ulay in pencil inside the folio. Numbered. Very good condition. Prints: 16 x 12" each. Portfolio: 16.25 x 12.25".
"Description of the action:
In a large, empty space,
repeatedly two bodies touch
each other frontally at high speed.
A statically installed video-camera
has been fixed
at the centre of the space.
Simultaneously a video-monitor shows
the moment that
the two bodies touch
each other in the centre."
"Symmetry and opposition played a structural role in many of their performances. In Relation in Space (1976), Abramovic/Ulay repeatedly ran toward one another, thier naked bodies colliding at an ever-increasing speed. The first in a series of relation works, this performance took place at the 37th Venice Biennale in 1976. The resultant series of photographs form the portfolio Relation in Space (1977). While Abramovic/Ulay used photography, film and video to document their work, they stress that these media cannot communicate the social context and discomfort of being part of the audience, who, for the artists, played an integral role as participants and witnesses, supporting them through the demanding performances."

ACCONCI, VITO
TOUCH STONE (FOR VL).
[The Nova Scotia College of Art and Design, Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada].   April 1972.
Print. Two-color lithograph printed on Arches paper. Edition of 50 copies. Titled, dated, signed, numbered and editioned on the recto. Excellent condition. 29.5 x 21".
"Vito Acconci could have found a cue to the problem of accomodating his own performance art to the format of the print in Joyce Weiland's O Canada; his own first two prints at the shop, Trademarks and Kiss-Off, both centre on the mouth of the artist, but his third print Touch Stone (For VL) makes a new departure. He rubbed a lithographic stone as if he were massaging a woman's body, all the while speaking out his thoughts to a tape-recorder, trying to imagine that VL was there beneath his hands. Originally he had wanted to use the sweat of his skin as the drawing medium, but when this proved impractical, the fact that the ink was labelled 'rubbing ink' gave some linguistic consolation. His hand-written transcription of selections from the tape were superimposed over the appropriate sections of the image."

Edition of 120 copies. Signed, numbered and dated. Very good condition. Slight scuffing on acetate cover. 12 x 8.25 x 1".
"SITE: Alvaro Siza's museum building.
"PROGRAM: Temporary installation for a solo museum exhibition.
"PROJECT: 9 pairs of telescoping tubes, U-shaped at one end and L-shaped at the other. The U-shaped ends hook onto the parapet of the building; from the L-shaped ends one module of a park is suspended on threaded rod.
"2 types of park-module alternate: a floor with a seat on opposite sides; and a floor with a seat on one side and a tree on the other. A connector, a step, joins one module to another. The floor, the seat and the step are metal grating: the tree sits in a metal grate, its roots still in the sack it was transported in. A light from beneath each floor illuminates the park. Each successive module is hung one step higher than the one before: as you walk through the park -- as you walk from step to floor, between seat and seat and between seat and tree -- you climb up the side of the building.
"The park hangers telescope down to 8-foot sections, and are portable; the park is adaptable to buildings of different heights."
