Comprised of the artists and musicians Cory Arcangel, Howie Chen and Alan Licht, Title TK is a "band" that performs in music or art contexts. While they appear on stage as a band, the members do not play live music. Instead the performances are conversations between the three artists about music, performance and the music industry, and their act plays with the tensions created by the audience's expectations and the actuality of their performance. Though ostensibly not music, their spontaneous banter nonetheless demonstrates Arcangel, Chen and Licht's incredible range of artistic influences and preoccupations, all of which stem from a sophisticated understanding of music and composing. The conversations engage each audience as the performer reveals his own infatuations with popular culture, music and art. Title TK: An Anthology collects the transcripts of these live performances from 2010 to 2014, charting the group's development.

COOP documents Swedish artist Fia Backström's (born 1970) performances of two recent scripts, continuing her exploration of language, marketing, disorders and performance. The first script operates according to two distinct logics: a four-part linear base structure and text material that was chosen and read during the performance through chance movement of the performer's body across a grid. This publication was especially designed to reflect this type of unpredictable and spontaneous movement. Mathematical symbols have been embedded into the text and these symbols link to ones on the upper corner of pages with nonlinear material. These indicate where the text could be inserted during a performance, thus incorporating the form of performance into the book. The second script serves as an epilogue to the first and was performed by four voices, reading from beginning to end without assigned lines, sometimes simultaneously.
