Spy Emerson - Consumption Accident and Artifact, San Francisco, USA Until January 4th 2012 Consumption: A century ago, it meant a deadly, wasting disease. Now, it’s every citizen’s sacred duty, stoking the insatiable engines of the GDP. In her new installation at Accident and Artifact in San Francisco, conceptual artist Spy Emerson examines consumption from every angle. Literally setting the table for the holidays, Emerson has created a veritable groaning-board of found and re-purposed objects. All are meant to be consumed, and replenished, though the duration of the show - including limited-edition dishware designed by Emerson herself. In addition, Accident will feature a sampling of Emerson’s flatworks, along with original illustrations from Dr. Hal Robins, noted polymath, and stalwart of Church of the SubGenius.

Referencing Dieter Roth’s literature sausages made in the 1960’s and 1970’s, I have done a series of performances using digitised books requested from the public and downloaded, printed, shredded, and stuffed. The work is meant to be a playful reflection of the Fluxus state of the publishing industry, and to express a level of absurdism present in the general public’s navigation of copyright law and the politics surrounding digitised information. www.katieherzog.net ANNOUNCEMENTS CODEX Foundation is pleased to announce a new collaboration between Stanford University Libraries and the CODEX Foundation in partnership with Centro Cultural Estacion Indianilla and Tonaltepec Global S.C. inaugurating CODEXMEXICO. Please join us in Mexico City in February for our special exhibition and conferences. On February 16, 2012, the exhibit Libros de Artista will open at the Centro Cultural Estacion Indianilla in Mexico City. The exhibition is comprised of a collection of original hand-made volumes printed in California and drawn from the collections of Stanford University Library with an equal number of artist’s books made by Mexican artists and printers - a ground-breaking cross-border collaboration. At the Mexico City inauguration, The CODEX Foundation in collaboration with Centro Cultural Estacion Indianilla will host an international forum of interested institutions, curators, presses and individuals to begin a serious discussion of the goals and strategies of implementation of the mission laid out in the CODEXMEXICO Manifesto. This discussion/action group is designed to seed not only the study and art of the book in Mexico but eventually spreading out to all Latin America.

An artistic project and at the same time an academic research about artists’ books and its relationship to the idea of a “visual encyclopaedia”. I need 96 books to complete the inventory. The project intends to give to artists and researchers the opportunity to have primary information, to get in touch or to see these books, not only their reproduction in the pages of another book.
