Soft cover. Condition: Good. 1st Edition. A set six of the avant-garde periodical Assembling. Instead of selecting from submissions presented to it, Richard Kostelanetz (and, at various times, Henry James Korn, Mike Metz, Scott Helmes, and David Cole) invited potential contributors to submit a thousand copies of whatever they wanted to include, which were then alphabetically assembled into 8.5 by 11 inch books. Published by Ghilbmessa Inc. (First number) and then by Assembling Press, New York between 1970-1981. Edition of 1000. Overall excellent, well-preserved copies with minor edge-wear and age-toning, some mildly bumped corners, oversized pages in some issues creased at fore-edges. Very Good or better with no major flaws, no internal markings - all in custom protective mylar. Notably - front panel of Issue 1, which is printed on lighter paper than subsequent issues, has small closed tears at the staples - loosely attached thus. Issue 4 has a closed, diagonal tear with creasing at the spine near bottom edge - not affecting binding. Please inquire for further, thorough descriptions of condition of individual issues. Issue 1 (1970) features mixed-media contributions from Edward Ruscha (Chocolate smear by the artist), Dan Graham, Bernadette Mayer, Vito Acconci, Madeline Gins, Arakawa, Hannah Weiner, Robert Lax et al. Second Assembling (1971) features the work of Jochen Gerz, Davi Det Hompson, Clemente Padin, Alan Sondheim and Nicholas Zurbrugg et al. Third Assembling (1972), which was collated and bound by an anonymous fireman and his family, includes contributions from artists such as John Baldessari, John Furnival, Roni Hoffman, Elizabet Ginsberg, Ruth Krauss and Joseph Phillips. Fourth Assembling (1973) contains work by: Jean-Jacques Cory, Wally Depew, Dick Higgins, Nancy Henderson, Mad Dog et al.

Caldiero, Robin Crozier, Veronica Drew, Bill Gaglione & Tim Mancusi, Joe Johnson etc. Seventh Assembling features contributions by, among others, Rene Aeberhard, Bruce Andrews and Eduardo Ballerini. Eighth Assembling (1978) was split into two (A-J) and (K-Z) and includes avant-garde contributions from artists such as Charlton Burgh, Charles Ewert, Michael Gibbs and Richard Grayson in the first, and Valery Oisteanu, Douglas Turnbaugh and Nancy Wolf in the second. Ninth Assembly (1979) constitutes a 'critical' anthology. Tenth Assembling features contributions by Allan Coleman, Bonnie Donohue, Rimma & Valery Gerlovin and Tom Persons.
