Disembodied Archetypes, by artists Tamy Ben-Tor and Miki Carmi, is the first book in Regency Arts Press Ltd.'s new series of collaborative books by two artists, 2X.

Tamy Ben-Tor works in performance and video; Miki Carmi is a painter. As a married couple, their ideas and processes feed each other and germinate in each other's work; creating this book is their attempt to dissect and examine these overlaps and interchanges. Disembodied Archetypes is a dissection of and - being a collaborative work - recorded testimony of their cross-pollinating artistic practices. Disembodied Archetypes consists of notes, texts, snapshots, translations, historical evidence, diagrams, Old Master paintings, family photographs, studies, and a myriad of other materials that reveal the symbiosis and constant reinforming that takes place between the work of these two artists.

Disembodied Archetypes measures 8 x 10 inches, is hardcover, contains 48 pages, and retails for $40.
