This page features a full list of downloadable items available from this site: books I either wrote or edited; exhibition catalogues I edited; essays appeared in books, catalogues, magazines, conference proceedings, or other publications. Even if some of these texts are available on other platforms, from Academia.edu to Lulu.com (where you can buy the paperbacks as well), I think it's just fair to upload them to a place where I can have some control on their permanent accessibility and availability. Enjoy!
