Title of Donation: ART: definition five
Description of Item: ART: definition five (and other writings) CODE(X) + 1 Monograph Number Two By Peter Rutledge Koch Berkeley, California: CODEX Foundation, 2008. Edition of 500. 5.5 x 7.75″; 24 pages. Printed on an old Heidelberg cylinder press by Peter Koch assisted by Jonathan Gerken. Typeface: Quadraat (“well suited for manifesto / feuilleton editions printed in relative haste”) Cover printed from antique wood and metal types in the Koch collection. Pamphlet bound. Contents: “Definitions and Defictions: Or, Why I Am Not an Artist”; “What I Think When I Think About What I Make”; “From the 1995 Notebooks”; and “From the 2007 Notebooks” Peter Rutledge Koch, printer living in Berkeley: “The great collections at the Museum of Modern Art and the Fine Arts Museum of San Francisco are filled with what are loosely referred to as ‘artist’s books’ but a great many of the books are more or less ordinary books with art in them. The books of Vollard and Kahnweiler are containers of art. Erase the pages and what remains is an entirely ordinary but blank book. Contemporary art with its more comprehensive and sophisticated approach to physical and formal properties requires the book itself (full and present in all its particularness) to measure up. This change in perspective has matured greatly in the last thirty years.”
