| Primary InformationPrimary Information is a non-profit organization devoted to printing artists books, artist writings, out of print publications and editions. Primary Information was formed in 2006 by Miriam Katzeff and James Hoff to foster intergenerational dialogue through the publication of artists’ books and writings by artists—emerging, mid-career, and established. Our period of focus is from the early Sixties to the present, with an emphasis on the conceptual practice begun in the mid Sixties and the strategy of using publications as an extension of this practice.

| | | FORTHCOMING Introduction by Félix Guattari.
David Wojnarowicz’s fractured scrapbook of dream journals, political critique and collage—an ultra-rare document of 1980s New York subculture David Wojnarowicz’s In the Shadow of Forward Motion was originally published as a photocopied zine/artist’s book to accompany an exhibition of the same name at PPOW Gallery in 1989. Despite its meager print run of just 50 copies, the publication has garnered a legendary status, and for good reason.
In it we find, for the first time, Wojnarowicz’s writing and visual art, two mediums for which he is renowned, playing off each other in equal measure.

A former assistant to Stockhausen and an early champion of Cage, Cardew provides a cutting rebuke of the composers, their work and their ideological positions (Cage’s staged anarchism and Stockhausen’s theatrical mysticism, in particular). Cardew considers the role of these composers . . . .go to book page >> |  | STATUS: Forthcoming | 3/24/2020 This title is not yet published in the U.S. To pre-order or receive notice when the book is available, please email orders @ artbook.com | PRIMARY INFORMATIONPbk, 5.5 x 8.75 in. / 126 pgs. | 3/24/2020 | Awaiting stock
