Top 10 List

1. Patrick Killoran, Insight T-Shirt
A t-shirt for the fashion conscious thinker. Patrick
Killoran's design incorporates a small metal grometed hole in the center of the
wearer's chest. The hole in the navy blue t-shirt acts as a lens when the
wearer pulls the neck out and points the hole in the direction of a light
source. Looking down through the neck hole one can see evidence of the
surrounding world projected on the body.
2. Fabian Reimann, The Surveyor
By the end of 1979, Sir Anthony Frederick Blunt was no
longer Sir. The reason can be traced back to Cambridge where he was a student –
and a member of a secret circle of men who were young and ardent advocates of
Communism. Later they became known as the Cambridge Five. The first of them was
exposed in 1951, the second one a year later. By this time, Blunt was professor
of Art History and Adviser for the Queen’s Pictures and Drawings. He was in
charge of managing the Royal Family's collection of paintings. His focus was on
French and Italian art, especially Poussin. In 1963, the third member of the
Cambridge Five was uncovered. Like the others, he had sought refuge in Moscow.
Blunt’s secret identity became known the year after, but it was not publicly
revealed to avoid damage to the Queen. It took another 15 years for Margaret
Thatcher to publicise it. This work functions as an investigation into the
scandal.
3. Sandy Plotnikoff, Bread Clip Earrings

either woodgrain, prismatic or hologram foils. On fish hook findings.
4. Sarah Nasby, Self Help from Typographers:
Herbert Bayer
5. Mike Billington, Free Money
Billington publishes another volume of his witty
observations and deceptively barebone drawings. Each artist book includes a
tipped in surprise-multiple from the artist which is not so subtly alluded to
in the title.
6. The Pleasure Is
Back, Stop the bullying!
Take a bold stand against primary-colour-clad schoolyard
thugs with this powerful, important poster.

7. Koen Brams & Krist Gruijthuijsen, The
Encyclopedia of Fictional Artists (1605-today) & The Addition
Encyclopedia of Fictional Artists (1605 – today)' is a
publication by Koen Brams, who together with co-editors developed a compilation
of biographies from fictional artists as presented in world literature.
Although previously published and distributed as literature, this compilation
provokes the perception of the art context as a descriptive and historical
narrative and is therefore to be seen as a conceptual framework for potential
artistic additions. (Edited by Koen Brams)
'The Addition' is a separate compilation of autonomous responses towards the encyclopedic book whose content remains descriptive and informative. Serving as a collection of artistic contributions, 'The Addition' cryptically unfolds and (de) constructs the ways in which fiction manifests itself within language and artistic production.
With contributions by Alan Abel, Antinomian Press, Bik Van der Pol, Michael Blum, Heman Chong, George Cup & Steve Elliott, Keren Cytter, Chris Evans (i.c.w. Will Bradley & Tirdad Zolghadr), Ryan Gander, Gruppo Parole e Immagini, Will Holder, John Fare Estate, K.D., Matthieu Laurette, Gabriel Lester, Benoît Maire,Oscar Neuestern, Adam Pendleton, Michael Portnoy & Olivier Sudden, Roee Rosen, Alexandre Singh, Uqbar Foundation, Barbara Visser

8. Kristan Horton, Dr. Strangelove, Dr. Strangelove
Horton’s uncanny ‘cover’ of Kubrick’s legendary film, where
