"Sophie Spar is in the tzchatckie business. Tzchatckie is a Yiddish word which describes those objects which have no practical application except personal necessity. Books can be considered an excellent example of a tzchatckie : while a book is a content provider, sometimes the object itself is a source of comfort and obsession. Sophie Spar aims to promote, create and deal in objects which can be appreciated for aesthetic and theoretical ideas as well for their tactile, keepsake quality, usually reserved for those random things we keep in shoeboxes and on our bedside table." ...press release for Sophie Spar Sale

"Proposing an exhibition consisting solely of friends, loosely follows some ideas presented by Gottfried Tollman et al. in their MIAUHAUS Manifesto. The title of the show, The Worst of Gordon Pym continued..." takes its name as a follow up to a 1991 exhibition at Tollman's Paris Galerie, Gordon Pym et fils, titled The Worst of Gordon Pym in which Crump participated.

The exhibition consists of works by 28 emerging artists, all original and all exclusively in postcard format. The 28 artists were "invited" for reasons irrelevant to artistic merit. The sole criteria for their participation is friendship. The work will be displayed in a conventional postcard rack such as those seen in stationary stores. The exhibition format is the 28 slots of the postcard rack, this being one of the few spaces wherein works are displayed with no contention as to who is included or how and why the images are assembled. This format reconsiders the role of the post cards as incidental ephemera by palyfully commenting on the nature of curation and promotion." ...press release for "The Worst of Gordon Pym Continued..."
