About this Item

B : 21,5 x 28 cm, 160 pages - Appendix Appendix is conceived as the sequel to Ryan Gander & Stuart Bailey's 2003 book Appendix. Like its predecessor, it attempts "a translation of practice" based on Ryan Gander's recent body of work. Neither straight documentation, nor an "artist's book," it pushes for a third way, editing and presenting each individual piece of work in a manner appropriate to its specific nature. In the years since Appendix, Gander's work has increasingly encompassed sound and the moving image in addition to the earlier objects and installations. This shift will directly affect the form of Appendix Appendix.

About this title

Synopsis

While he was working on Appendix Appendix, Ryan Gander described it to Artforum as "a shooting script for a 13-part television series about television" and "a cross between John Berger's…Ways of Seeing and Monty Python." His collaborator and typographer Stuart Bailey, on the other hand, describes it as a sequel to their first book, Appendix, which compiled back stories for Gander's conceptual work. Bailey says, "The problem (a good problem) is to work out how the second [collaboration] is affected by the first, how it swallows it. I always relate these things to music, so it's like thinking what's the second album going to be after the rough debut; more studio time, more pressure, bigger egos, drinking problems, etcetera." Bailey has created books with Paulina Olowska, Lucy McKenzie and Frances Stark; Gander recently won the Baloise Prize at Art Basel and appeared in the 2006 Tate Triennial.
