, September 30-October 2, preview September 29 come along, bring friends to the Friendly Fire section, Table FF11, outside in the yard Twentysix Gasoline Stations book launch in the lobby, October 1, Saturday 5pm Printed Matter is pleased to announce that Michalis Pichler’s book TWENTYSIX GASOLINE STATIONS, originally published in 2009 by Printed Matter, Inc., is printed in the second edition and available for order. Pichler will sign copies of the book Saturday, October 1, 5 PM, in the lobby of MoMA PS1. This book is Michalis Pichler's take on Ed Ruscha, who published his groundbreaking and highly influential TWENTYSIX GASOLINE STATIONS in 1963. Pichler's version offers a more modern update, examining German gas stations all owned by the same company and all displaying the same signage and architectural elements. At first glance, all images appear to depict the same pristine and brightly-colored generic structure, photographed frontally in a somewhat topographic style, reminding the Becher typologies. Only upon further examination, aided by Pichler's captions declaring the different locations, does the reader get the full extent of the joke, which is punctuated by the book's final image: a disembodied hand holding an excerpt from a 1969 interview with Ruscha in which he explains "the eccentric stations were the first ones I threw out." The captions to this last Text/Image seem to be a riff on Gertrude Stein.
Obviously, the painting of a person is not a real person,
but the painting of a sentence is a real sentence.
