description of contents:

1- New York Times Flag Profile

In New York Times Flag Profile, all 144 of the American flags from the New York Times issued on the first anniversary of September 11 have been cut out and pasted into a newspaper with everything else left blank.

Each flag is listed in a flag index with information about its original context.

58 x 36 cm, 144 pages, folded, 2002 New York

2- "WAR"diary

"WAR"diary is the product of selective cutting and pasting of New York newspapers between March 20 and April 11, 2003. Headlines from the Daily News are collaged onto the stockpages of the New York Times creating subtle ghosts of words like OUTRAGE! BAGHDAD, and CAUGHT floating on top of or cut into endless columns of numbers. The pages are illustrated with cut-out images from the Times showing war protesters, New York Police security forces, Iraqis fleeing Baghdad, wounded soldiers and other scenes of war. All images are indexed in a special pull-out section.

3- new york garbage flag profile

New York Garbage Flag Profile presents Berlin-based artist Michalis Pichler's six month long project in which he collected and documented discarded paper cups, plastic bags, pizza boxes, newspapers and other mass-produced materials emblazoned with the American Flag.

Photographed in the public waste baskets, gutters and snow drifts of New York where he found them, the individual items are catalogued on a facing page with uniformly formatted information about their location, the date of their collection, number of flags depicted, number of stars, number of stripes, etc. Each record also includes a full transcription of the text found on the item.

The nearly three hundred color photographs in the book are organized into forensic pairs showing the collection site before and after the artist's intervention. This clinical presentation however belies the artist's gentle, almost reverent approach to his material -garbage, after all.
