DEXTER SINISTER
Published by Sternberg Press, Berlin, 2010, 200 pp. (b/w ill.), 11.3 × 17.5 cm, English
Price: €105
With contributions by Stuart Bertolotti-Bailey, Rob Giampietro, Anthony Huberman, J. Christopher Jones, Louis Kaplan, Edgar Allan Poe, Seth Price, David Reinfurt, David Senior and Giles Weaver.
Over the past few years, Dexter Sinister has been interested in exploring contemporary publishing in its broadest, most exploded sense. The first part of this book consists of pieces of writings written since the conception of their New York basement workshop and bookstore in the summer of 2006. These writings were previously published online as PDFs in the Library at www.dextersinister.org. They were primarily written by Dexter Sinister or by one of a circle of regular collaborators, often for their house journal Dot Dot Dot, or as supplements to other books or exhibitions.

“BETTER READ THAN DEAD”, WRITINGS AND INTERVIEWS 1964–2013
SETH SIEGELAUB
Published by Walther König, Köln & Stichting Egress Foundation, Amsterdam, 2020, 384 pp. (b/w ill.), 19 × 27.5 cm, English
Price: €30
Edited by Marja Bloem, Krist Gruijthuijsen, Lauren van Haaften-Schick, Sara Martinetti & Jo Melvin.
Better Read Than Dead was the title Seth Siegelaub had chosen for an anthology of his own writing—one of the projects for which he never found the time, busy as he was running his global one-man operation. The selected writings, interviews, extended bibliography and chronology in this source book fill historical gaps in the sprawling network of exhibitions, publications, projects, and collections that constitute Siegelaub’s life’s work. “Siegelaubian paperwork” comprises Siegelaub’s writings, which are reproduced as scans in order to convey the variety of the documents and to give a sense of archival immersion.

Futura Resistenza
Roger 3000 - Reste Envie (LP)
€ 22
To need, to be needed, in four corners. Sleep and privacy, gases come and gases go, and now you are the only one in the room you sit in, you are one with the room you sit in, as if there are no negatives and no positives--did you know that you are an extension of your apartment? Did you know that you are in a codependent relationship with your apartment? Did you know that your apartment knows and appreciates all of your secrets?--I feel safe, which is not a new need for human beings, but a very ancient one, almost the first one. It is enacted by the possibility of sound, humming or strumming something mostly. But the quiet apartment makes its own sounds: a single longing note of birdsong told to the beat of restful breathing, the angelic insistence of tinnitus, the neighbours. Sometimes I wonder if silence means nobody's home. How still I sit. Sometimes I return to silence and feel hugged by the cool lightness of its touch, like sleeping with just a sheet in summertime. Like turning the key. Like a visit from the cat next door. Like a somnambulant ray reaching across the room, asking if you'd like to step outside.
Arthur Chambry - La Seuz
€ 22
The Seuz and its makeshift sounds brings you by turns up to the peaks and back down into the valley. The Seuz wanders steadily on quirky-medieval paths, while avoiding ‘bardcore’ pitfalls. Arthur Chambry slips into an analogue instrumental breach—no laptop post-production fuss—while inserting vocal spells (La Langue du Vent, Le Petit Bois) ready to shift you into the Party/Bonfire/Broche-style bbq lost-in-Mordor dimension. Betwixt Folk-RPGs and tempestuous minor epic tales, Les Pierres de Montodeau or Nos Soupirs show what Chambry has always known to do best: grasp the trend, the voids and the gaps to create a quasi-magical new sound.

"come, Memory: fieldwork"
€ 13.99
"come, Memory: fieldwork" is the culmination of a long-cherished research project initiated in September 2021, revolving around three immersive journeys to ancient European sacred places, with a particular focus on Neolithic sites. This project encompasses extensive research, the capture of Super 8mm film, 35mm photography, and audio recordings, the creation of three experimental short films, and the development of a scenographic installation. In May 2023, this installation was exhibited at the artist-run project space WET in Rotterdam. "come, Memory: fieldwork" represents another facet of this journey—an extended research and sound documentation, crafted through the collaborative efforts of Katrina Niebergal and Bergur Anderson.
