This month there are three of Thomas Geiger's six Supermarket Publications amongst the books at Publisher's Corner! On a few pages, stapled or sewn together with a simple pamphlet stitch, he presents his supermarket related actions.

In Billa, sagt der Hausverstand. (Billa, says the common sense.), Geiger prints the Billa receipt of a 10 Euro shop with a beggar while In Österreich heißt ALDI Hofer (In Austria ALDI is called Hofer) is a list of differences between ALDI and Hofer product names. Images of smuggled ALDI and LIDL products are glued into Unbemerkt Produkte zwischen ALDI und LIDL austauschen (Exchanging products unremarked between ALDI and LIDL) like rare images of artworks in a precious art catalogue.

Futurism's Bastard Son is a a catalogue about works by performance artist Billy C. Curmano whose biggest project probably was swimming the Mississipi River's entire length. It has been published by Mark Pezinger Verlag in 2012 and strings together the artist's documentation of his work: Newspaper articles, letters, lyrics from Curmano's songs, notes, photos as well as video stills all printed in black and white illustrate Curmano's eccentric and unusual projects.

"He was buried alive for three days in a much ballyhooed effort to bring art to the spirit world that included a New Orleans-style funeral complete with Christlike resurrection. He once imprisoned himself in a tiger cage to protest the inhumane treatment of POWs in Vietnam. Maverick? Eccentric? Full-blown madman? Billy X. Curmano will be delighted to let you decide." - Mary Beth Crain, LA Weekly, 1999 (Mark Pezinger Verlag)
