Majewski and the Polish conceptual artist Pawe Freisler, the project explores the idea of diversity
in all of its possible meanings and manifestations, tying together collaborative and associatively

New Ways of Doing Nothing, a group exhibition that took place at Kunsthalle Wien in 2014,
devoted itself to artistic production that opposes activity and instead gives an affirmative slant to
forms of doing nothing or refraininga major influence being the titular character of Hermann
Melvilles Bartleby the Scriviner: A Story of Wall Street. The book presents the displayed works
and artists, but also continues the process that led to the exhibition. Included along with a
conversation between the curators is a text collage of reprints and excerpts that introduces those
artists and thinkers who, in the words of Bartleby, prefer not to.

the various questions raised by representations of identity in the region. The works of each artist
are extensively illustrated and accompanied by an essay by renowned international curators and
scholarsNav Haq on Guan Xiao, Gong Jow-Jiun on Huang Po-Chih, Tang Fu Kuen on Moe

Books And Ideas After Seth Siegelaub

Sternberg Press 2016 ISBN 9783956792441 Acqn 26633
Pb 17x24cm 128pp 120ills 18.95
Contributions by Regine Ehleiter, Michalis Pichler, Seth Siegelaub
Books and Ideas after Seth Siegelaub spans an arc of tension between the works of Seth
Siegelaub and contemporary cultural production. It features an interview with Seth Siegelaub, two
essays by Regine Ehleiter and Michalis Pichler, and an extensively illustrated catalogue with
bibliographic details.
Books by Siegelaub that are often paraphrased include the Xerox Book (1968), which was printed
in offset and has since been xeroxed by various artists and publishers in many different ways, the
catalogue exhibitions from 1969, as well as Lawrence Weiners Statements (1968). These
publications are often taken as starting points for new projects, which are derivative and yet
substantial artworks in their own right. Also, Siegelaubs engagement with the Art Workers
Coalition and subsequent draft of The Artists Reserved Rights Transfer and Sale Agreement has
had wide reception and reaction in contemporary art and activism.
The works presented in Michalis Pichlers catalogue Books and Ideas after Seth Siegelaub
reinvent Siegelaubs renowned distinction between primary and secondary information.

Practice
