Parkett : The Parkett series with contemporary artists. (Zürich : Parkett-Verlag, 2005)
﻿The tension generated by the “old newspaper” on the cover derives from several contrasting associations. Someone may have thoughtfully made a personal cover for Parkett: a newspaper that proverbially lasts but a single day protectively wrapped around an art publication to preserve its so-called claim to eternity. Who were the readers of this daily newspaper, which is obviously older than Parkett and once targeted non-white readers? Newspapers stand for reality. Yet no matter how low-key Ellen Gallagher’s interventions may be, they counter images of relentlessly determined existence with a world that is both playful and fantastic. (editorial by publisher)
