Great art book finds at a recent fleamarket trip to Hyvinkää, a small-ish town with a huge-ish fleamarket, Villatehtaan kellari. Easy to reach via train. Warmly recommended! Hot tip: there is also a wonderful Vietnamese restaurant (Sao Viet) near the flea market.

David Campany, the editor of Adaptation, describes Samoylova’s work as ‘provocative’ but if this is right the provocation is not of the kind that her mother country christened agitprop. On the contrary, any incitement lies in their jouissance, in the Lacanian, libidinal sense of an affective intensity and its peculiar propensity to engender enjoyment out of failure and displeasure. Samoylova’s bravura lies in giving visual expression to the socio-transcendental ascendency of finding satisfaction in appearance against the background of nothing.
