Text by Michael Bank Christoffersen, Alain Licht. Interview by Jonah Peretti.
New York–based artist Cory Arcangel (born 1978) is a leading exponent of technology-based art, drawn to video games and software for their ability to rapidly formulate new communities and traditions and, equally, their speed of obsolescence. His work bridges the highbrow and the lowbrow, popular culture and art. With All The Small Things, Arcangel presents media and cultural references that are widely accessible and known to the masses, in novel and unorthodox ways. Arcangel is a firm believer in making his work available and freely shares many of his video and code-based works on the Internet. His practice has gained him an immense online presence and following that is both independent of and outside the mainstream fine art world. This first comprehensive monograph was designed in close cooperation with the artist.

"Have you ever gone clothes shopping in Urban Outfitters or Uniqlo or H&M on a Sunday afternoon and realized that the music being played over the store’s sound system was the same thing you heard at a techno club the night before? Have you ever pulled out your copy of the triple album Music from Mills and dropped the needle on Steve Reich’s “Melodica” (1966), his final phase piece to use tape, only to take it off halfway through, and put on a Jeff Mills album instead (or vice versa)?" Excerpt of text by Alan Licht and installation shot of "Since U Been Gone / Music For Stereos" (2013) are reproduced from Cory Arcangel: All the Small Things, launching at the ARTBOOK @ MoMA PS1 Magazine Store during the opening of the New York Art Book Fair this Thursday night, 6:30 – 8PM, alongside a limited edition print and new Arcangel Surfwear T-shirt, among other Arcangel books, records, zines and editions. continue to blog
All The Small Things (2014) by Cory Arcangel and Arcangel Surfware (limited edition of 100) is a continuation of a body of work called Since U Been Gone (ongoing), which maps the influences of Kelly Clarkson’s hit single “Since U Been Gone.” Originally produced as a Case Logic CD Binder filled with CDs, the project has gone on to take a variety of forms including DJ performances, sculpture and prints. For this iteration, the U.S. single CD All the Small Things by the American “pop-punk” rock band Blink-182 was taken from the original CD binder and directly photocopied on the backside using a self-service printer at the Atlantic Terminal OfficeMax in Brooklyn. Each print is hand-stamped and editioned by the artist using a Cosco 2000 Plus Self-Inking S-300 Stamp Kit. Produced exclusively for ARTBOOK | D.A.P. and the New York Art Book Fair, the All The Small Things edition launches with a print and book signing and a one-night sound and light installation designed by Arcangel. The launch event takes place in the ARTBOOK @ MoMA PS1 Magazine Store during the NYABF opening Thursday, September 25 from 6:30-8PM. continue to blog
