Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. On 30 August 1999, East Timorese voted overwhelmingly to become an independent nation in a ballot sponsored by the UN. Following the announcement of the result, occupying Indonesian troops carried out systematic destruction throughout East Timor. Within two weeks, several thousand civilians were murdered (a precise number is unknown), 200,000 were forcibly transported to concentration camps in West Timor and other parts of Indonesia, and most significant infrastructure was destroyed. Books were targeted for destruction. Libraries were systematically burned, amongst them the widely-used university library and the English library in Dili. Private collections of books were targeted, and in notable cases book collections of prominent intellectuals and independence activists were collected on the street, where they were publicly set alight. In villages, schools were systematically destroyed. Action for another library was established in Melbourne in response to these circumstances. Thousands of books were donated by bookstores, libraries, and individuals. They were shipped to Dili in containers, where they now form part of the nascent National University Library of East Timor. The title pages of some books were photographed before the books were sent to East Timor. The artist's book After action for another library, with text in English and German, was first produced to coincide with the exhibition of the same name at the Humboldt University, Berlin, 28 August - 3 October 2003. Subsequent editions have been produced for exhibitions in which they are presented as stacks of multiples. The second edition, in English and Italian, was produced for System Error: War is a force that gives us meaning, at Palazzo delle Papesse in Siena in 2007. The third edition (and first Surpllus edition), in English only, was published on the occasion of Art of War, at CEPA Gallery in Buffalo, New York, in 2010. The fourth edition, available here, with text in English, Portugese, Timorese and Japanese, was published on the occasion of To the Arts, Citizens!, at Museu de Serralves, Porto, Portugal, 20 November 2010 - 13 March 2011.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Hostings: Ocular Lab, 2003-10 documents and celebrates the eight-year history of Ocular Lab Inc., an artist-run initiative that occupied a disused milk bar in West Brunswick, Melbourne. The book features 96 pages of imagery, new essays by Stephen Zagala and Zara Stanhope, and a chronology of 'the Lab'. Hostings was produced on the occasion of the exhibition Ocular Lab Inc. at the VCA Margaret Lawrence Gallery, 12 April - 5 May 2012. Describing Ocular Lab in Frieze magazine, Max Delany wrote: 'The activities and programme at Ocular Lab have evolved through a particular emphasis on hosting and dialogue and a desire for non-hierarchical collective processes. Ocular Lab dinners, held in the gallery space, often in honour of a visiting artist, became emblematic of a wider set of principles. The exhibition programme developed through individual members hosting projects, rather than by application or a committee judging process. Visiting artists always used the space rent-free, allowing for the space to be used in an open-ended spirit, often for process-based projects or as a temporary studio. And an array of international exchange projects took place in the space, ranging from artist talks and dinners through to longer-term site-specific projects.' The Ocular Lab membership was Damiano Bertoli, Sandra Bridie, Julie Davies, Raafat Ishak, Sean Loughrey, Jonathan Luker, Sally Mannall, Tom Nicholson, Elvis Richardson, and Alex Rizkalla. Previous members include John Abbate, Katherine Huang, Louise Paramor, Kirsten Rann, and Bernhard Sachs.
