Hardcover. Condizione: Fine. Limited Edition. Limited Edition. Hardcover. "This late work from Samuel Beckett is the haunting picture of an old woman alone in a cabin, who watches the evening and the morning star and ventures out chiefly to visit a grave. In prose of great poetic beauty, which the author translated from his orig…inal French text Mal vu mal dit in 1982, Beckett returns to the imagery of the Old and New Testaments to speculate on the great questions of human existence.

Various. Condizione: Fine. Deluxe/Limited Editions. Deluxe/Limited Editions. Various. Moody's short story, Surplus Value Books #13 is a comic parody of a bookseller's modern rare book catalogue. The story unfolds as the galley proofs of the involved book catalogue, where the prices accorded the items for sale are contrasted with… the personal and idiosyncratic values assigned to them by the bookseller. "This intricate collaboration is an expanded treatment of a text originally published by Rick Moody and David Ford as an artist's book in 1999. Taking the form of a bookseller's catalogue, Moody's novella (which is also reprinted in his 2000 collection Demonology) lays bare the fragile psyche of its narrator, whose fractured and overwrought book descriptions often veer into personal territory, returning particularly to his obsession with a college classmate, Anna Feldman. The deluxe edition includes corrected page proofs of the text, complete with "hand corrections" by the author (reproduced typographically by Wilbur "Chip" Schilling) and sections that appear to have been manually "whited out." Each item in the portfolio supports the text of the story-from the straightjacket that holds the book and the narrator's "release papers" from a private mental hospital, to the a collection of objects that relate directly to the entries (including a Star Wars action figure, Scrabble tiles, and a baseball card.) The text is aptly described by Hadley-based bookseller Ken Lopez: "Moody has created a hilarious and touching self-contained world where the values accorded to the items for sale (dollars) and the values inherent in them (significance, artistry, passion) are in running comic contrast." [Exhibition statement, Smith College] The overall design and printing was undertaken by Wilbur "Chip" Schilling, Daniel Kelm, and David Ford Kelm, with assistance from "other mechanics" at the Wide Awake Garage. In creating the OCD-adjacent box, Kelm created a void, filled with a blank, because, "any obsessive would want to have the regular edition, too." He then noted, laughing, that would leave no place for the blank, and wondered what would be done with that. While not called for, a standard issue of the limited first edition (one of 700 copies) is included. Tight, bright, and unmarred. Folio resin coated cloth box, mixed media, including vinyl, plastic, cloth, metal, paper, wood, leather, etc. fo [49x23x10cm]. Numbered limited editions.

Condizione: Fine in Fine Case. Limited Edition. Limited Edition. The creation of Templum Elementorum (Sanctuary of the Elements) was initiated by an invitation in 1995 to produce a book for the Smithsonian Institution Library exhibition Science and the Artist's Book. Inspired by Biringuccio's De la pirotechnia (On working with f…ire), first published in 1540, Templum Elementorum is a stylized version of the alchemical furnace known as the Tower of Athanor, as pictured in Biringuccio's book. "Athanor" refers to the "undying" fire which is achieved by the use of the self-feeding fuel hopper at the center of the furnace. Kelm created a book sculpture comprised of four glass cylinders and metal bindings - one for each of the elements. Together they represent a furnace within which the four alchemical elements are operating - earth bath, water bath, air furnace, and fire box. Colors, symbols, words, and metals contained on the cylinders and in the bindings all correspond to the four elements: Earth, Water, Air, and Fire. The metal bindings open to reveal a pop-up decorated with the symbol for the element to which it corresponds, and contain text panels that carry the "voice" of the alchemical element, for example, "I am Earth. . . ." The metal bindings slide into their glass cylinders and are displayed upright. The various pieces of the sculpture are housed in a wooden crate and wrapped in cloth the color of which designates its particular element. The four borosilicate glass cylinders sit on a circular eld twenty-two inches in diameter (placed either on a black felt circle or a lit base). The twelve- inch-tall cylinder represents the main fire box, so is located at the center. Surrounding it are the three short cylinders representing (clockwise and evenly spaced) the air bath, water bath, and earth bath. The cylinders contain their corresponding books. The text is largely based on The Cipher of the Elements by Taz Sibley (used with permission), compiled by Greta Sibley with additional material from Kelm. The pair of pages revealed on opening one of the books refers to the materials and processes used in fabricating the book sculpture. The alchemical symbols on the left correspond to the English words on the right. earth/terra book: "Sand, Earth, Flux, Borax, Fire" refer to materials and the process used in the making of borosilicate glass - the glass cylinders. The production of the glass is paired with the Earth/Terra book because it is solid in nature, reflecting the character of Earth. water /aqua book: "Spirit of Copper, Water, Wood, Brass, Copper Splints" refer to the process of patinating the brass covers. Patination is featured in the Water/Aqua book because it is a liquid process. air/aerbook: "Glass, Aqua Regia, Earth, Pulverize, Air" refer to ways to etch glass (in this case, sand blasting). Sand blasting is paired with the Air/Aer book because it involves propelling solid particles with gaseous Air. fire/ignisbook: "Tin, Antimony, Fire, Flux, Copper" refer to soldering the copper and brass structure formed around the glass cylinders. Soldering is featured in the Fire/Ignis book because it is a heat process. The elements act through the substance of our bodies and of material existence. The planets shape our psyches and choreograph the universal dance of transformation. -Taz Sibley [Artist statement] Created by Daniel E. Kelm with the assistance of Greta D.
