Asger Jorn

C'est un fait que ni les hommes ni les femmes ne sont aujourd'hui satisfaits les uns des autres. La question est de savoir si c'est le fait d'une malédiction originelle qui les condamne à s'entre-déchirer, ou si les conflits qui les opposent n'expriment qu'un moment transitoire de l'histoire humaine. Alors, partons du début. Asger Jorn

Whereas, around 1954, the Danish painter Asger Jorn (1914–1973) worked exclusively with collages, ten years later he made a complete about-face: From 1964 to 1969, he created a series of décollages. For these works, he removed already existing material instead of adding this, removing layers of up to 20 posters at a time from public billboards. With technical finesse and great skill, he arranged various fragments and stabilized the results, over which, in some cases, he then painted or drew. With the current publication, both the collages and décollages are now brought to public attention.00Exhibition: Kunsthalle Emden, Germany (25.10.2014-18.1.2015).

Guy Debord

Mustapha Khayati

Ivan Chtcheglov

After Guy Debord’s seminal Society of the Spectacle, this new compendium brings together eight other important situationist works. Ivan Chtcheglov opens proceedings via his Formulary for a New Urbanism (1953), with it’s quasi-mythical demand that resonated down through generations: “The hacienda must be built”, followed by two brief but illuminating pieces from Asger Jorn, who’s sandpaper book cover later turned up under the same Factory Records roof as Manchesters’ own Hacienda, on the Durrtti Column’s "Return of the Durrutti Column" ( the title itself lifted from Andre Bertrand's détourned pro-situ comic strip). Debord’s The Decline and Fall of the Spectacle-Commodity Economy-was an immediate, razor sharp response to the LA/Watts Riots of 1965, it’s analysis of the relationship between the rioter and the meaningless, unaffordable commodities they loot or destroy resonating heavily today. Tunisian situationist Mustapha Khayati contributes Address to Revolutionaries of Algeria and of All Countries and the game changing “On the Poverty of Student Life”, the match that arguably lit the fires of May 68’. Raoul Vaneigem's The Revolution of Everyday Life finishes things off in defiant fashion : “. You’re f*%@g Around With Us? — Not For Long!”
