Revenge publishing - a new genre or as old as writing itself? Isn’t all writing, to some extent, a way to avenge an oversight or rejection, aiming to set the record straight? Many pieces in this collection were commissioned, accepted, and paid for but never published - whether due to common mishaps or more devious reasons. 'Corrected Proofs' seeks to remedy this. Alongside previously unpublished works, this collection includes newly written essays and interviews on figures like Lutz Bacher, Charles Ray, and Arnold J. Kemp. Heroes and villains - John Wilkes Booth, Lee Harvey Oswald, Felix Gonzalez-Torres, Cady Noland, and Steven Parrino - share the stage with familiar names in unexpected contexts: Marcel Duchamp, Ed Ruscha, and Andy Warhol. Rediscovered artists like Bob Smith and Stephen Varble appear alongside Lee Lozano, the January 6 insurrection, and The Fall.
