0 to 9, nos. 1–6 plus Street Works supplement to no. 6. 1967–1969. (Complete run.)
Item #1136 Edited by Vito Acconci and Bernadette Mayer, 0 to 9 is widely considered one of the most experimental and influential publications of the mimeograph and small press movement in America. Published in six issues from 1967 to 1969 in New York City, 0 to 9 also published a supplement titled Street Works and several books by Aram Saroyan, Bernadette Mayer, Vito Acconci, and Rosemary Mayer, along with three booklets that constitute Adrian Piper’s first solo exhibition. 0 to 9 was especially engaged in the particulars of the page and inscriptions upon it, emphasizing aspects of performance, minimalism, multi-disciplinarity, and concrete approaches to language. Street Works consists of documentation for performative and situation-based artworks, involving public spaces in New York City on three separate occasions in 1969. The supplement was produced as an assemblage, with individual artists and authors providing copies of their work for collation, including images, diagrams, written accounts and instructions, poems, and other items. Print runs were 100 to 350 for each issue. This is a very scarce complete run of the magazine and includes nos. 1–6 plus Street Works, supplement to no. 6. Copies are in very good to near fine condition. Contact bookseller for detailed condition report.
