Freakout, 2007
64 pages 100% rag paper, archival ink. 48 colour plates
Edition of 50, made-to-order.
ISBN 0-9736853-3-6,
Published by FLASK, Victoria B.C.
Martineau has produced a rich hybrid of material, form and meaning that is neither catalogue or sculpture. The artist re-works each cover of this bookwork, grafting polymorphous forms with grey and coloured fleece onto the existing industrial grey felt surface. Inside, the texts are transplants from a range of history: German surrealist Hannah Hoch, Oscar Wilde, the British novelist Angela Carter, Woody Allen, Louis Bourgeois and philosopher/theorist Georges Bataille are intertwined with documentary photographs from the Department of Architecture archives at the University of British Columbia and images of the artist’s recent work.

Robert Smithson (isbn 0-921972-46-6), 2007
offset lithography
61 x 46cm
street edition of 1000
framed edition of 10
This edition developed from Derek Sullivan's interest in the relationship between artists and publishing. The project consists of publishing a "book" or rather a poster that seemed to be announcing the publication of a book. The "book" existed for 6 weeks on the streets of Toronto and later on the shelves of the AGYU bookstore, where it was promoted (deceivingly) as a limited deluxe edition. The subject of the book developed from a random typo that sent the artist on an expedition to locate uncanny associations between the heroic frontier artist Robert Smithson and the rock legend Robert Smith, the latter's portrait is found reversed on the bottom of the poster and Robert Smithson's name appears in goth-style typography at the top.
