Lost Bird is a book about abandonment. Photos thrown in the trash, postcards from baskets at flea markets, pages from books, mostly encyclopedias piled up in antique shops and texts from torn pages. It is a collection of images, drawings and writings, which once gave us light, if only for a while, and then plunged into darkness. It is a mutual relationship that changes at the same time, an association of the old to the new that speaks of injustice and oppression, of lost beauty, our lost nature.…

"Back in the middle ages when people commuted to work something sinister and something primary colored was brewing. Satanic hair dye. True crime cosmopolitans were conjured through various doorways to hell. One of those is the entire city of present day los angeles where the germs and rodney collect coupons and groupies. A place where the bright lights are seriously luciferian and the dreams are the dreams of fallen angels. Acid children party freely in the underpasses and cement iron courtyards…

*Edition of 300 numbered copies Die-cut cardboard outer sleeve, color print inner sleeve + poly-liner sleeves.* "The exquisite corpse shall drink the new wine", wrote the French Surrealists almost 100 years ago, and from this missive stems the parlor game in which we partake here.

Notes from Steve Roden on Oionos
:'Oionos was created for the exhibition The Grand Promenade, in Athens, Greece.

 The exhibition took place in various archaeological and historical sites in central Athens, creating a situation for contemporary site specific works to be in dialogue with their historical surroundings.
 While it was not originally offered as a possible site, I pleaded with the curator to allow me to work with architect Dimitris Pikionis’s Church of St. Dimitris Loumbardiardis, abo…

And when he could not have them, his disappointment became so dazzling, his greed assumed such purity, his appetite such honesty, and he stretched his arms so wide, that we were all able to recognize ourselves, and we fell in love with him.” - Leonard Cohen David Blue is the ‘blue’ in Bob Dylan’s “Baby Blue”, the voluble chain-smoking pinbal…
