Description
Single sheet exhibition invitation torn into ca. two dozen pieces. Amsterdam: Pieter Brattinga Gallery, 1981. One of Ulises Carrión’s rarest mail art projects, with the original mailed envelope sent to the collector Tjeerd Deelstra (b. 1937). As the artist intended (explained below), a small torn portion is not present. “In 1981, when the Print Gallery Pieter Brattinga invited Carrión to exhibit his work there, Carrión thought of a response project in which he instructed participants to reconstruct, in any way they desired, the bottom half of an invitation, which had been shredded. They were then to sign it and mail it back to the gallery. The lower section of the invitation included a definition of mail art, which the artist had torn up and from which he had then removed a small fragment. This way, the definition of mail art could never be reconstructed and the instruction given by the artist was impossible to accomplish. The project resulted in 243 responses in all sorts of formats; not only intervened letters but also objects. By making participants reconstruct the invitation, the project had a cyclical component that was emphasized by having the word ‘feedback’ in its title. In this way, Feedback Pieces takes one step further Carrión’s intentions to reformulate not only the artwork but also the communication system through which it travels.”–Aimé Iglesias Lukin, “King Kong Archives: Ulises Carrión on Mail and Art” in Ulises Carrión: The Big Monster (2019), pp. 11-13 (pictured). Both the envelope and torn-up invitation are in excellent condition. ❧ Juan J. Agius, ed., Ulises Carrión & The Big Monster (2014), pp. 120-35 (pictured).

Description
Parizh (Paris): Izdatelstvo "Sovremennyia Zapiski", 1929. First Edition. Very good. First edition; 7 1/2 x 5 3/4; pp. [4], 7-420, [2]; beige wraps, printed and ruled in black; small nicks and chips to fore-edge of wraps and corners; a few mild spots to wraps; overall in very good condition. Fedor Stepun, also known as Friedrich Steppuhn (1884 - 1965) was a Russian-German author, editor, sociologist, historian, and philosopher. He was also an army commissar under the Russian Provisional Government and director of the state experimental theatre. Deported from the Soviet Union in 1922, he settled in Germany, living, writing, and teaching in Berlin, Dresden, and Munich. A staunch opponent of Bolshevism and Nazism, his philosophical leaning have been described as neo-Kantist Transcendentalism, similar to that of Soloviev and Berdiaev. According to the author himself, in his current work, written during the Russian Civil War in letters: "The problematics and coloring of the novel, naturally, grew both from the material of my own life and from observations of the literary and philosophical environment in which I found myself after Heidelberg. On the eve of the Great War, we all lived through crises - a crisis of religious, political, and aesthetic-erotic consciousness. There was a lot of pointless preaching, artistic posing and erotic snobbery in the era."

Description
Xalapa, Veracruz: Universidad Veracruzana, 2021. b/w and color plates, tbls., maps, receipes, color pict. wrps. OCLC: 1346573097. A group of researchers from the University of Veracruz, the Technological Institute of the Valley of Oaxaca, the CIIDIR Oaxaca of the National Polytechnic Institute, and the French Institute of Research for Development (Instituto de Recherche pour l'Économie) have undertaken the task of bringing together the cultural studies developed on chili peppers in Mexico. In an interdisciplinary effort, they have compiled texts that address the subject of this fruit from diverse perspectives: anthropological, gastronomic, historical, biological, and medicinal. Their work has yielded several results: the first compilation (Los chiles que le dan sabor al mundo) was published in 2018. Following on from this, the second volume expands and deepens the knowledge surrounding chili peppers, from myth to genetics, from seed dispersal to culinary uses in ancient recipes, in family cooking, and in restaurants, and their nutritional, healing, and ritual uses in rural and urban settings. This highlights the importance of spice as a marker of local Latin American identity: "Tell me what chili you eat and I'll tell you where you're from." And, as we all know, Mexican homes are a must-have for a salsa, whether serrano, piquín, habanero, or jalapeño. In this way, Chiles en México: Historias, culturas y ambientes (Chiles in Mexico: Stories, Cultures, and Environments) provides continuity and enriches our appreciation for the flavors of Mexico, its gastronomic richness, and the cultural heritage of generations. May this rescue inspire in readers the need to value and preserve what this tasty ingredient represents.
