Fine Words Butter No Cabbage

The longest-running journal dedicated to artists’ projects in the world, WhiteWalls recently exhibited "Fine Words Butter No Cabbage"—a celebration of twenty-six years of conceptual art and writing by new and established artists from Chicago and around the world. 

Fine Words Butter No Cabbage now compiles over forty new projects from these artists, each created specifically for the book, alongside photographs from the accompanying exhibit. The book features work from early contributors to the journal, such as Robert Barry, Gary Cannone, and the performance group Goat Island, as well as pieces by Mindy Rose Schwartz, Helen Mirra, and Andreas Fischer. Richly illustrated and accompanied by illuminating essays by former editors Buzz Spector, Ann Torke, and Laurie Palmer, and current editor Anthony Elms, Fine Words Butter No Cabbage is an illuminating look at some of the best conceptual artists of our time.
