MISS READ September 04–06, 2009Berlin
Miss Read has invited international publishers to show a selection of their artist books und wants to provide the opportunity to examine this diverse and exquisite assortment, to explore it and to take it home. As a genre of its own, the artist book reflects contemporary ways of artistic production and publishing to a great extent and also addresses issues of presentation and circulation as well as new strategies of distribution. Miss Read is a joint event with the publishers argobooks and Michalis Pichler and wants to draw attention to the diversity of the contemporary scene of publishing for the first time in Berlin.

BOOKLAUNCH @ ORCHARD, NEW YORK CITY, NEW YORK
From january 23rd until februari 1st 2008, MER. was a guest at the Orchard gallery in New York City,
as part of the exhibition 'Cookie-Cutter' by Christian-Phillip Müller. MER. erected a temporary bookstore
within the Orchard gallery, wherein all available titles from the MER. catalogues were exhibited and sold.
The events started on january 23rd with a conversation between Matt Mullican and Luc Derycke about
the books they created together. On january 24th Adam Lehner read from his most recent publication,
'The Rearrangement', as to introduce the new MER. publication. On january 24th and 31st the gallery was
filled with the sounds of Brethren of the Free Spirit, honouring the release of the album 'All Things are from
Him, through Him and in Him', the firstborn on the new audioMER. label. Adam Lehner sined his 'The Rearrangement'
on february 1st, during the finissage of the events. Duvel provided the necessary beverages.
The booklaunch in New York was the first in a planned series of international book presentations, meant to amplify the perception of the MER. fund.
