Paperback. Condition: Near Fine. Book. Complete set of Stephen Willats' seminal periodical 'Control'. First 5 issues: 310 x 225 mm with screenprinted wrappers. Later issues have printed pictorial wrappers and are slightly smaller in format. Since 1965, this pioneering conceptual art magazine has published original artwork and writing from over 150 artists, alongside collectives and collaboratives such as Artists Placement Group. Issue 13 features an original work by Anish Kapoor of an insect-object sprayed blue; together with a photocopy collage intervention by Glenys Johnson entitled Agent Orange. Issue 3 comes complete with inserts: Poem-Blanc by John Sharkey and Peter Upward's untitled painting. This seminal publication is significant for its community-based approach, and its theories based on cybernetics and social science. Its content rejected a traditional mode of criticism and instead concentrated on theoretical ideas, technical models and artistic methods: Control is purely a magazine of art theory, in the sense that it presented text by artists looking at the thinking behind their work (Willats, Publishing Interventions, 2 in In Numbers: Serial Publications by artists since 1955, PPP Editions, Zurich, 1999, p. 129). While within the remit of the art magazine, Control is notable for its interdisciplinary reach. As the artist has commented, the magazine's origins were a reaction to a very strong inheritance from previous decades that constrained the artists into very set roles of painting, sculpture and traditional mediums (ibid).

No Binding. Condition: Near fine. 1st Edition. Edited by Simon Cutts and Stuart Mills, Private Tutor, Issues 1-12 (complete set), Tarasque Press, The Trent Book Shop, Trent Bridge, Nottingham, August 1967 September 1970. 260 x 200 mm. Letterpress printed (black and red on white stock) broadside periodical (A4 verso only) that features rules, statements and questions on poetry, in the playful and polemical mode of Tarasque Press. Edition of 100 (unnumbered).Number 1 opens with the mission statement, 'Assuming from the onset that the reader has little or no grounding in literature we will commence and continue in a very direct manner.' Number 3 declares, 'The true concern of the poet should be the avoidance of ugliness. Art exists by the tolerance of others. It might be argued therefore that a poet using his craft as a vehicle for politics will ultimately find his readership amongst politicians, the more sensitive finding this misuse of poetry irksome and a deceit. In this country today a large percentage of poetry written by younger poets avoids the integral beauty exemplified by the fusion of form language and motif.' Number 5 presents Edwin Morgan's 'Making a Poem'. Number 7, printed in orange, involves a series of questions by Stephen Bann. In issue 9, Cutts asks the question 'Are earthquakes weather?' Number 10 features Mills' poem 'Skylines/Sea-lanes'. Ian Hamilton Finlay is featured in three issues: issue 8 (printed in green), 'Arcady ABC.' (some questions on the poem); issue 11, 'The Weed Boat Masters Ticket Preliminary Test (Part One); issue 12, 'Boats of Letters'.Condition: near fine.
