Original Wrappers. Condizione: Fine binding. Accordion. 9-1/2" x 4-3/4" closed. [12] pp. Limited edition, one of 100 copies. Signed by Johankneckt, Van Vliet, and Miller-Brown at the colophon. As issued, in stiff wrappers of Barcham Green India Office illustrated with an image of Bach's last known musical score, the unfinished Fugue of The Art of the Fugue. The accordion style structure, designed by Van Vliet folds into 12 unnumbered pages that read parallel to the folds, recto and verso. All housed in a handmade paper slipcase with "fugal" printed on the spine. A fine copy. A wonderful collaboration between Susan Johanknecht, Claire Van Vliet, and Andrew Miller-Brown. Inspired by Bach Fugues, Johanknecht's poem is printed on the recto of accordion-fold. As Van Vliet and Miller-Brown were puzzling over the project last fall, it became apparent that the lines could be read aloud in any order. This morphed into the accumulating text on the verso. True to the musical definition of a fugue, this presentation of the poem develops through repetition and interweaving. A wonderful homage to the musical form, and to Bach in particular; all the while developing into something that is not merely an homage.

Wrappers. Condizione: Fine binding. Oblong octavo. [26] ll., illus. Limited edition, one of 150 numbered copies. Van Vliet's woven strip binding contains 12 printed leaves alternating with 14 illusion polycarbonate and flexible vinyl leaves, all laid into a vinyl wrapper and housed in acrylic slipcase. Some of the vinyl leaves have started to break down, their oils leaching into and discolor the paper leaves, an unexpected and, according to Van Vliet, perfectly fitting result. This book is referential of the author's earlier Hermetic Waste (Gefn Press, 1986) that was issued the summer after the Chernobyl disaster. She writes in an artist statement: "The collagraph prints in Hermetic Waste were derived from alchemical engravings here [in Waste Incant] the calligraphic line drawings are derived from science illustrations in children's text books. Redrawn and merging, the pictorial 'facts' depict a disrupted 'nature.' Poetic texts sit inside the imagery, functioning as an integrated caption. They describe processes by which toxic material enters into the environment. The back of each page lists hazardous wastes. Plastic interleaving features in both books, referencing materials used in the storage of waste. (How little has changed in twenty years.)" In her Grolier Club catalog to the collection of Robert J. Rubin, Yvonne Korshak echoes and expands Johanknecht's statement of Waste Incant: "The book, in its acrylic case, is a statement about the storage of nuclear waste in plastic. The line drawings are derived from children's textbooks, redrawn to show a disrupted nature. The toxic wastes, listed partially alphabetically, are printed on both sides of the embossed paper, each page separated by a plastic sheet. The unstable and hence inappropriate and hazardous use of plastic to contain toxic waste is emphasized by the diverse deformations of each of the plastic sheets. "How fascinating that the book is immaculate and glamorous while its topic - waste - implies what's dirty and distasteful. The ironic disjunction dramatizes the tension between the allure of easy labor, magical communications and other seductions of our high tech culture and the tarnished other side of the coin, deadly byproducts with tenacious half-lives. The book uses the very products it condemns. We can't do without it, can we?" Yvonne Korshak and Robert J. Rubin. Beyond the Text: Artists' Books from the Collection of Robert J. Ruben.

Condizione: Fine copy. 8vo, original unprinted wrappers, printed paper spine label. Fine copy. First edition. One of 75 numbered copies signed by Johanknecht (the entire edition).
12 1/2 x 10 in. coptic bound into titled mill boards, housed in a linen slipcase. With saddle-stitched, 16 pp. color booklet containing contributor statements and more information about the book. This project was on display at the entrance hall of the British Library from October 25 to December 31, 2007, and the book explores the question of how conservators might approach works by artists that are intentionally ephemeral, auto-destructive, or otherwise have a "loss of information" embedded into their material forms. The book was on display near the then-new Centre for Conservation at the British Library, which had an exhibition on display at the time. Divided into thirteen "chapters" that are printed using various techniques and materials, contributors include Stephen Bury, William Cobbing, Georgios Boudalis, Clippetyclop (a band, with Aaron Williamson), Electric Cronolines (a band, with Redell Olson and Drew Milne), Finlay Taylor, Sigrid Holmwood, Susan Johanknecht, Katharine Meynell, Kate Srivener, and Louisa Minkin. Ephemeral substrates (such as newspaper, paper eaten by snails, and other forms likely to deteriorate) are placed in contrast to durable forms including rag paper, as well as the coptic binding and linen enclosure of the book's overarching structure. The edition was created in London, and there are 60 copies, of which 20 are for sale to public institutions. As new.

11 x 7 x 5 in. aluminum tin, containing 23 artists' books. Accompanied by fold-out catalog with introductory essay by Clive Phillpot, with contributions by Susan Johanknecht, KatharineMaynell, and Colin Sackett. In his introductory essay, Phillpot notes: "this millennial project brings together two ideas, measurement and risk, at one location: the bookand its relatives." The artists' books within range in format, including traditional sewn booklets, a variety of single-sheet foldouts, photobooks, chapbooks with 3-D items tipped in, a compact disk, a cassette tape, and more. Together, the contents of the artists' books and the materials that comprise their physical form play with the idea of "vulnerability," an emotional and developmental state that encompasses the first millennium. Phillpot notes the role of "vulnerability" in terms of access and preservation: "some of the works in this tin time-capsule will be more vulnerable to physical change over time than others, the photographic pieces especially. But, given events such as the discovery of ancient papyri in Egypt, scrolls by the Dead Sea, and codices in Latin America, it is not unlikely that some of these seemingly vulnerable volumes that long outlast the heroic monuments of this agebarring celestial accidents!"

Gefn Press, the publisher, is based in London. Susan Johanknecht, who began the press in Vermont in 1977, was apprenticed to Claire Van Vliet and the Janus Press. This is from an edition of 160 copies; the catalog was produced in an edition of 500 copies. The catalog is printed by Michael Taylor at Paupers Press. Tin and all contents are as new from publisher. There are a few minor imperfections on the tin, including a small scuff on front; overall as near fine as possible.
