Gallo, Philip.

This Side Up, vols. 1–3.

The Hermetic Press, 1990, 2016, 2018. Item #3365

A complete three-volume series in paper wrappers, 18 pp., 18 pp., and 56 pp. Printed letterpress with illustrations.

Each book has its own conceit and theme, and functions as a conceptual art project, explored through typographic innovation and relief printing techniques. Taken together, the volumes comment on language’s representational and material qualities, through depictions of graffiti and ephemeral puns. A typographical and technique-driven collation of volumes, whose overall title comments on the text’s own materiality and position in the world.

This is from an edition of 30 copies. As new.
