Description
A catalogue consisting of four individually bound books contained in one slipcase, which includes original artists' books by: Robert Gober (New York), Liz Magor (Toronto), and Juan Muñoz (Madrid, Spain). An essay by guest curator, Gregory Salzman, discusses the duality of these artists' work, their apparent legibility in terms of form and reference, yet the ungraspability of their place within the realm of the imagination. Designed by Archetype.

She has studied at the University of British Columbia, Vancouver (1966-1968); the Parsons School of Design, New York (1968-1970), and the Vancouver School of Art (1970-1971). Magor has exhibited at Documenta 8 (1987), Kassel; the Sydney Biennale (1982); the Venice Biennale (1984).
