NO-ISBN Open Submission for ART Books
Have you recently published an Art book without ISBN number? Is it an Art book, the documentation of your work or does it cover Art or Art theory?I am looking for publications by international practitioners in the fields of contemporary Art and theory that have recently been realised without a distributor/publisher.
I am interested in any form or shape of material. I will select 300 books to be exhibited and distributed at the > Galerie für Zeitgenössische Kunst Leipzig in Spring 2010. This project is a part of my next solo exhibition there.
All selected participants will be part of the exhibition which will last for a full year and will also cover the whole period of the > Leipzig Book Fair in spring 2010.Participants will also be offered to become a member of the Salon für Kunstbuch distribution network - online as well as retail distribution for Art Books.

Deserted Buildings - Cut-Out Pages from Manga Japanese Prints Cartoon Jedsada Tangtrakulwong
Deserted Buildings
The pictures of each Manga or Japanese comics and print cartoons have been removed. In general, we tend to look at the images and read words from the Manga. The book has been viewed only picturesand words, not the layout which a manga artist is considered and arranged, besides the narrative.
There are twenty three Mangas or Japanese cartoons in this project with a broad range of subject matter: fantasy, horror, romance, sports, historical drama, business, science fiction, etc. The pictures of each Manga have been removed, making the book look like deserted buildings in both the appearance and the absence of characters. The layout of each manga is distinctive. The layout of action genre
seems to be more dynamic, using frames with jagged edges. On the other hand, the business genre is using the grid of regular rectangular frames.12.8 x 18.1 cm, 280 - Seiten
