    • The full title to this volume on Robert Barry's rarely-shown early work Some places to which we can come, and for a while “be free to think about what we are going to do.” This might further be understood by a typical example of Barry's work, which he designed for the sixth issue of Vito Acconci's magazine 0-9 in 1969. The contribution consisted of the following brief The space between pages 29 and 30 / The space between pages 74 and 75. This long-awaited volume on the early work of the New Jersey-based Conceptual artist reveals much of the work that was at the heart of the beginnings of American Conceptual art, of which Barry was a main protagonist. As early as 1967 he began working towards the limits of immateriality and invisibility, creating installations out of wire and nylon thread, performing with gases, working with acoustic frequencies and language, and producing slide projections--much of which is documented here, together with new essays on the artist's work.

      The quest for the Grail, an artifact steeped in legend and history, has driven humanity to extreme actions for two millennia, including war and betrayal. Despite its elusive nature, the Grail symbolizes a divine connection, believed to be created by Christ as a gateway to salvation. The narrative explores the enduring obsession with this powerful relic and the implications of its existence, suggesting that the search for the Grail is both a physical and spiritual journey towards redemption and a return to heaven.

      The Music of the Future is not a book of predictions or speculations about how to save the music business or the bleeding edge of technologies. Rather, it's a history of failures, mapping 200 years of attempts by composers, performers and critics to imagine a future for music. Encompassing utopian dream cities, temporal dislocations and projects for the emancipation of all sounds, The Music of the Future is in the end a call to arms for everyone engaged in music: "to fail again, fail better."
