Out of Print. Scarce. Light shelf wear, text is clean. An excellent copy! "N.E. Thing Co.: Companies Act, published by Brick Press, is a "reinterpreted facsimile" of a 1978 book project by the N.E. Thing Co., a corporation that served as the umbrella for the activities of the Vancouver-based artists Iain and Ingrid Baxter. While corporations frequently obtain cultural reach through collaborations with artists, the Baxters inverted the typical model, using corporate structures to further their artistic goals. From 1969 to 1978, the N.E. Thing Co.'s (NETCO) operations included ownership of the Eye Scream restaurant and the N.E. Professional Photographic Display Labs Ltd., sponsorship of a pee-wee hockey league and a synchronized swimming performance, an exhibition at the National Gallery of Canada that converted the museum space into a corporate headquarters, and a photographic catalog of sites and objects "aesthetically claimed" or "aesthetically rejected" by the company. Though NETCO disbanded in 1978 with the dissolution of the Baxters' marriage, the project stands as an engrossing example of how artists can co-opt corporate power.".

"An Exhibition of Artists' Books and Multiples from the Permanent Collection of Art Metropole. LEARN TO READ ART is an exhibition of 287 published works by artists from the postwar period to the present. Although the contemporary artist's book emerged early in the twentieth century, it was not until the sixties that it came into its own as a medium ideally suited to the needs of Fluxus and Conceptual artists of the period thus our exhibition picks up this thread of history in the postwar years and follows it into that period of intense evolution which was the sixties and early seventies." ?- AA Bronson, General Idea, from introduction.

square folio. illus. 85 unnumbered loose sheets in paper portfolio (creasing & short edge tears to portfolio, corner of one sheet creased, another partly soiled on verso). First Edition. The artist's book and exhibition were launched at the Agnes Etherington Gallery in Kingston, Ontario during the Montreal '76 Olympics. N.E. Thing Ltd.'s 'Celebration of the Body' demonstrates the aesthetic concerns and relationships between athletic and artistic activity. It is "a tribute to the original concept of the Olympics. The exhibition has several areas of concern: the historical showing how the arts have used human movement in sport and art for visual esthetic expression; the contemporary body art interest showing the current activities in visual arts where the artist uses his or her own body for their visual expression; the athletic, showing the actual Olympics through the use of video and photographs and athletic participation; the performance, including many forms of dance and photographs of dancers; and body awareness, showing all else to do with the body." The set of sheets include illustrations from various sources superimposed on graph paper as well as a film program, video program, and handlist of art works included in the event. Also included are reprinted texts: "Body Works" by Willoughby Sharp & Liza Bear (from Avalanche), "The Pains and Pleasures of Rebirth: Women's Body Art" by Lucy R. Lippard (from Art in America), and "The Aesthetic in Sport" by David Best (from The British Journal of Aesthetics). N. E. Thing Co. (Ltd.), a Vancouver-based art collective, played a seminal role in the emergence of the conceptual art movement in Canada, 1967-1978. Focusing on an interdisciplinary practice and using photography, site-specific performances and installation, N.E. Thing Co. is seen as a "key catalyst and influence for Vancouver photoconceptualism" and is considered a precursor to the Vancouver School. N.E. Thing Co. created some of the earliest photoconceptual works to display a tendency to use photography to document "idea-works and their sites, as language games and thematic inventories and as reflective investigations of the social and architectural landscape."
