ashes and broken brickwork
Earlier I mentioned Mekhitar Garabedian's publication for KIOSK. Now, for that same exhibition another book was made by Susanne Kriemann. The book can be read as an inventory of the trajectory that the artist pursued in relation to archaeology, to the artefact and the idea of the desert as a symbol of the modern desire to create an empty slate, a tabula rasa. Material from Agatha Christie's photographic archives is related to photographs that Kriemann produced of the Syrian desert and archaeological sites in Mesopotamia. It is for sale at Roma Publications.

Tuesday 30 July 1935, the launch of the first Penguin edition. It was for sale for 6 pence. The basic horizontal tripartite division of the covers, as well as the penguin itself, were divised by Edward Young. The colour used to indicate subject matter: initially just orange for fiction, green for crime, dark blue for biography, cerise for travel&adventure, red for plays.
