In \u003cem\u003eTake Note\u003c\/em\u003e, the book becomes an extension of placement: words such as NOTE, HELD, ENFORCE, and STATUS sit against blank space, red rules, grey blocks, and cropped photographic fragments — a printed structure for looking, reading, and positioning.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 1988 Villa Arson publication is listed in Downsbrough's exhibition history and bibliographic records.

The book mixes photographs, short texts, playlist-like material, personal fragments, and staged documentation. It reads less as a standard catalogue than as a soft record of a circle: friends, animals, aliases, props, music, bodies, and gallery life converted into printed matter.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eKoh’s work at this point moved between monochrome ritual, queer theatricality, celebrity proximity, self-mythology, and controlled abjection. Here that language becomes small, pale, and portable. The publication keeps the exhibition in a minor key: white space, soft images, sentimental texts, sharp objects, and a family structure that appears both real and performed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA gallery catalogue as social residue.\u003cbr\u003eA small book object from the Peres Projects system.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eShipping and handling included in listed price.
