BLURTING IN A&L. 1973.

NYC: Art & Language Press, New York, USA & The Mezzanine, Nova Scotia, Canada, 1973
21 x 15cm, unpaginated, card covers. Artist’s book published with contributions from Ian Burn, Michael Corris, Preston Heller, Joseph Kosuth, Andrew Menard, Mel Ramsden and Terry Smith between January and July 1973. Michael Corris and Mel Ramsden chose terms as headlines for the annotations after which the first letters of the headlines were used for an alphabetical ordering. In this order the annotations were numbered. References to other annotations were notated under each annotation with the intent to provoke a cross-reading or browsing. Typical of the self-referential period of the mid-70s this is a scarce and often overlooked A+L book. Fine.
