Dear Arlis-ians,
Among the many in the path of Sandy were many independent publishers and
book shops here in NYC. I'm sure many of you have heard about the flooding
at Printed Matter in Chelsea. They lost a huge amount of inventory and
archival material. I helped them wade through some of the debris after the
storm and it was really heartbreaking. I also surveyed the damage of
Primary Information's storage space in the downtown Manhattan and saw a
huge amount of their back stock irreparably damaged. If you are not
familiar with their program, follow the link below. They are a non-profit
that specializes in re-publishing important out-of-print materials, like
Avalanche Magazine or the online archive of Seth Siegelaub's papers, and
producing great new books by contemporary artists.
Anyway, both institutions could use support at this time. I know Printed
Matter has made several new benefit editions. Check out their website and
new offerings if you are interested. Primary Information has just
circulated their 2013 subscription announcement (see below). Librarians
collecting contemporary art books for you institution would be hard-pressed
to find a better bang for your acquisitions buck with this subscription
offer. Buying books help these great non-profits continue to do great work.
best, David Senior

John Miller's special membership card for Primary Information is part of
his ongoing Middle of the Day series which he began in 1994. This
photograph of anonymous tourists visiting Stiftung Bauhaus Dessau
is 4 x 6 inches and appears like a postcard that commemorates tourists
rather then the destination they are visiting.
