V zadnjih tridesetih letih je nastalo okoli sto novih knjig umetnika, ki so nastale kot poklon, komentar ali parafraza Ruschevih.

BÁLINT SZOMBATHY – Telephotography of the 1980s
P74 Gallery, Trg prekomorskih brigad 1, 1000 Ljubljana
20 February – 16 March 2013
Exhibition opening: Wednesday, 20 February 2013 at 19:00h, P74
Curated by: Tadej Pogačar
Bálint Szombathy’s exhibition Telephotography of the 1980s is dedicated to the lesser known, yet very important and interesting segments of his creation: his experimentation with the medium of photography. During the “return to painting” era of the 1980s, Bálint Szombathy devoted himself to communication technology. As the graphic editor and designer of the Novi Sad daily newspaper Magyar Szó, he was attracted to a “special” medium of printing, which had yet to be properly exploited in the art world. This was the “facsimile telegraph”, a machine which transmitted a newspaper image from a distant location to an editorial office with the help of telephonic impulses.

Thus the technology saw both its rise and fall in the 1980s. Since the majority of photographs contained a number of errors and distortions, the device lost its primary informational function and at the same time gained an artistic one.

SIX HANDS AND A CHEESE SANDWICH
Ruscha der Fischotter aka: Printed Matter And Other Visible Things On Paper Not Necessarily Meant To Be Viewed As After Ruscha aka: One Hundred Views Of One Hundred Views Of Mount Fuji, If Someone Says So aka: SIX HANDS AND A CHEESE SANDWICH is a book about books, a catalogue and an art/bookwork in its own right.
Content: By now the appropriation and paraphrasing of Ed Ruscha constitutes a genre of its own. The first were 1968 Bruce Nauman with ‘Burning Small Fires’ and 1971 ‘Ed Ruscha’ (actually Joel Fisher) with ‘Six Hands and a Cheese Sandwich’, with further appropriations or hommages over the decades, and in the last years it almost became fashionable, the evidence is massive.
