Corrections and Clarifications

Corrections and Clarifications from the BAS Collection

February 5–March 22, 2014

With a work by Anita Di Bianco

Banu CennetoÄŸlu, Istanbul from collectorspace on Vimeo.

Collectorspace presents Banu CennetoÄŸlu’s BAS Collection with Corrections and Clarifications by Anita Di Bianco, an ongoing newspaper project produced in various locations, languages, and formats since 2001. Each iteration of the work is an edited compilation of corrections of typographical or factual mistakes, and statements intended to clear up misunderstandings published in daily newspapers. Corrections and Clarifications takes the familiar format of the daily newspaper, its content referring back to what was published the day, week, or month before.

Di Bianco leaves out the original journalistic material, offering an indirect record of idiosyncratic as well as systematic errors that infiltrate and alter the daily information flow. The project hints at particular power relations in print journalism, in which facts and meanings are constantly negotiated between the producers and consumers of information. Each edition, ranging from 500 to 5,000 copies, is distributed gratis within the context of an exhibition, and is meant to be read, passed along, discarded, or discovered inadvertently.

Di Bianco’s work is ‘non-precious’, reflecting the overarching sensibility of the BAS Collection that focuses on artist’s books and printed matter as artworks. To develop the collection, CennetoÄŸlu emphasizes diversity—rather than personal taste—and has an open acquisition policy when buying, accepting, and bartering works. The collection is accessible to the public, aiming to engage the visitors through the print medium that is produced in large editions and circulating outside of mainstream art channels.

Anita Di Bianco (b. 1970, New York) lives and works in Berlin. Her films, videos, and texts involve re-considerations of previously published, assumed, or familiar patterns of characterization from the worlds of cinema, literature, theater, and political media. Di Bianco’s moving image and print works have been shown at PS1, Kunstwerke, the Kunsthaus Zürich, the Kunstverein Braunschweig, the Rotterdam Film Festival, K21 in Düsseldorf, the Baltic Centre for Contemporary Art, the Glasgow International, among others. Corrections and Clarifications is distributed in New York by Printed Matter and is held in the collection of the MoMA.

Banu CennetoÄŸlu (b. 1970, Ankara) lives and works in Istanbul. In 2006, the artist founded BAS, a nonprofit space in Istanbul, dedicated to the collection, display, production and distribution of artists’ publishing. The BAS collection consists of +1,000 artist’s books, periodicals, and other printed matter by artists and artist collectives, such as AA Bronson, Céline Duval, Hans-Peter Feldmann, Eva Weinmayr, İpek Duben, İsmail Saray, Mariana Castillo Deball, Rita McBride, and Temporary Services, among many others.
