MORE TO LOVE
If you haven't browsed the anthology of Toilet Paper (by Maurizio Cattelan and Pierpaolo Ferrari, published by Freedman/Damiani) we suggest you pick one up. Themes of the "advertisements that advertise nothing" involve manipulation, dissection, and obsession—think size queens, clothed pornography, objects of desire made flat and vice versa—including the photograph commisioned for the High Line's billboard on 10th Ave and West 18th St. this year of manicured, handless fingers. The articles, too, cover the obscure and the extreme, pulling from traditionally-written odd-ball press and experimental authors of today.
