Temporary Services has selected the following books published by or focusing on the work of artist groups and collectives as an extension of our exhibition and book release Group Work. These items are on display in Printed Matter’s vitrines during the run of our exhibition so we have limited ourselves to items that are in stock. Some of these publications were created by groups that are a direct inspiration or influence on our own practice. Other items were chosen to represent the diversity of groups and collective printed matter. Where possible, we tried to include items that were among the least expensive entries for each group. Looking through Printed Matter’s vast website and in-store stock has been a great learning experience for us which we hope to share with others. Also everyone knows that fancy glass vitrines make anything you put inside them look really special and important. It is our hope that a highlighted engagement with these isolated objects inside the vitrines will make people a little extra interested in learning about some of the groups that are represented. While one loses this tactility online, hopefully the juxtapositions of groups and titles will serve as another aid to perceiving various approaches to collective work and collaboration. - Temporary Services
