The Man in Black / Drone Harness
Matthew Barney, Jonathan Bepler
New York,
NY
: Printed Matter, Inc.. 2000
This provocative multiple by Matthew Barney and Jonathan Bepler is a fund-raising edition for Printed Matter. The 1970's-style twelve-inch vinyl picture-disc in a gatefold album cover features images from Barney's Cremaster 2. The record has two tracks, both audio remixes by Bepler from the soundtrack he composed for the movie. Side A is "The Man in Black" featuring Dave Lombardo (the drummer from the heavy metal band Slayer) and 200,000 honey bees. Side B is a dark and moody track entitled "Drone Harness." The edition is an amazing amalgam of sonic and visual vitality: a major contribution to Barney's ever-growing oeuvre. Each record is signed and numbered by both artists.

A Field Guide To Weeds
[2nd edition]
Kim Beck
New York,
NY
: Printed Matter, Inc.. 2008
A Field Guide to Weeds masquerades as a 19th century pocket guide, but a guide in which the weeds themselves have taken over. Beck’s innovative project uses the physical form of the book as a metaphor for a crack in the city sidewalk: printed in luscious five-color printing, the common dandelion, pigweed, and poison ivy—the very plants we ignore, step over, ignore, dig up, or scrupulously avoid—creep out of the gutter, up pages, and overrun the book. Multiple silhouettes overlap and repeat, drawing the reader’s attention to the overlooked. The book features a brown silk ribbon marker. The thumbnail image shows a two-page spread from the contents of the book.

Dark Prospects
Charles Beronio
New York,
NY
: Printed Matter. 2008
Dark Prospects takes as its source material issues of People, Time, Newsweek, and U.S. News and World Report. While retaining the form of the magazine, the artist dismantles the medium’s visual language by blacking out all references to corporate branding, time (both textually and visually), textual references to location, and facial features of the magazines’ featured stars and advertising props. What’s left is an unforgiving and stuttering sequence of detonated images and textual fragments supporting a skewed visual narrative of lifestyle and politics—modern life stripped bare.

Volition
Gregg Bordowitz
New York,
NY
: Printed Matter, Inc.. 2009
Consisting entirely of questions, Gregg Bordowitz's Volition is 142 pages of active, mind-bending engagement with the reader, who is led down paths of inquiry involving art, meaning, philosophy, choice, happiness, and identity. Bordowitz organizes his questions into lists, paragraphs, and stanzas, which are themselves organized into five chapters: Questions, Topics, Aesthetics, Beliefs, and Morals. The resulting text is something like a spiritual guide crossed with an epic poem crossed with a transcription of the meandering thoughts of a philosophic insomniac, kept awake by such questions as "How can I touch creation as a principle without reproach?" and "How does gratitude unfold from virtue?"

Self-Disclosures
[Fundraising Edition]
AA Bronson
New York and London,
: Printed Matter and Institute of Contemporary Arts. 2012
New Artists’ Editions by AA Bronson, co- Published by ICA and Printed Matter to accompany
In Numbers: Serial Publications by Artists Since 1955.
For the ICA and Printed Matter, AA Bronson has made a pair of digital-pigment prints entitled The Call of The Wild and Self-Disclosures. The images form part of a new series of works relating to the publication Queer Spirits, a project made in collaboration with Canadian artist Peter Hobbs.
The Call of the Wild and Self Disclosures are about ideas of nature and masculinity. The wilderness, associated with masculinity since the early nineteenth century, provides a backdrop to Bronson's cast of characters that live outside of heterosexual suburban life. The park ranger, for example is an icon of the all-male environment of loggers, trappers and the like. "This deviant character finds its mirror in the queer behaviour of wild animals: They lurk in the parklands, and their questionable presence is monitored by authorities. In circles of queer witches, we find another model: gathering naked in the moonlight in forest clearings, their secret rituals charged with sexual energies, their deviance lies in their deference to nature. Unlike the 'masculine' park rangers and boy scouts, they do not challenge nature, but join with it."
