This collection, which starts itself in the year of 2000, collects writings on music and DIY activity from Swan’s back-catalogue. Musically it is broad, we begin with Meltdown moving to Shudder To Think; singular considerations on tracks by Tracey Thorn, Unrest and Jane’s Addiction. Further focuses on Saturday Looks Good to Me, Roy Harper, Panax, Slick Rick. There are documentary works and interviews covering Felix Kubin, The Homosexuals, Graham Lambkin \u0026amp; Spencer C. Yeah, Cass McCombs, and Bridget Cross. An expansive amount of ground is covered in this single collection, and this isn't the start of the wealth Swan has created. The writing is immediate, thoughtful, touching and honest—just like Ethan. Meticulously crafted, the painstaking layout is accompanied by photographs by Lisa Anne Auerbach documenting 1980’s Chicago punk shows—it seemed perfectly fitting to include them. It would not be an exaggeration to state that The Grass is Green in the Fields for You was born out of a love for projects like this and this publication is our proudest moment yet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"\" style=\"white-space: pre-wrap;\"\u003e- - - - -\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"\" style=\"white-space: pre-wrap;\"\u003e“I think the article about 222 Bowery, or the Morrissey zine, or even my parts in Silk Flowers songs are really just a way of sharing things that I feel happy to have learned.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"\" style=\"white-space: pre-wrap;\"\u003e— from a gmail ‘interview’ July 2010\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"\" style=\"white-space: pre-wrap;\"\u003eEthan Swan is, to paraphrase from his own introduction to this book, a person that would take pages to describe and while this is no way an attempt to do so I wanted to present a snapshot of some of our experiences with him.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"\" style=\"white-space: pre-wrap;\"\u003eThe first time we met Ethan Swan was in November 2009, when his band Silk Flowers came to play in Manchester.

Ever since Duchamp’s readymade und Hugo Ball’s sound poetry, the definition of art has widened and dissolved to a point where nearly anything geared toward an art audience can be considered an artwork. Today it has become convention to praise art as a way of questioning conventions, not least in regard to conventional borders between disciplines, media, and genres. However, heroic claims of dissolving borders have become a way of kicking at doors that are already wide open—in a political and economic environment defined by neoliberal deregulation and flexibilization geared toward new markets, and permeating every social and cultural sphere.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"\" style=\"white-space: pre-wrap;\"\u003eIt has thus become increasingly important to discuss the relationship between different fields of cultural production. This book does just that, looking closely at the careers of artists and pop musicians who work in both fields professionally. Historically, these figures provoked cognitive dissonance, but the seeming acceptance and effortlessness today of current border crossings can be deceptive, since they might be serving vested economic or ideological interests. Exploring the intertwined histories of pop and art from the 1960s to the present, Heiser shows that those leading double lives in art and pop music may often be best able to detect these vested interests while pointing toward radical alternatives.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"\"\u003ePublished by\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Sternberg Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41886127718630,"sku":"","price":23.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0603\/5338\/0582\/products\/IMG_8075.jpg?v=1634664525"},{"product_id":"a-new-program-for-graphic-design-by-david-reinfurt","title":"A *NEW* PROGRAM FOR GRAPHIC DESIGN by David Reinfurt","description":"\u003cp class=\"\" style=\"white-space: pre-wrap;\"\u003e155 x 230mm, 256 pages, full colour printing, perfect bound, softcover, 2020\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"\" style=\"white-space: pre-wrap;\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eA *New* Program for Graphic Design\u003c\/em\u003e is the first Communication Design text book expressly of and for the 21st century.

Predatory lending has a decidedly spatial character and exists in many forms, including subprime mortgage loans, student loans for sham for-profit colleges, car loans, rent-to-own scams, payday loans, and bail bond loans. Parasitic governance, Wang argues, operates through five primary techniques: financial states of exception, automation, extraction and looting, confinement, and gratuitous violence. While these techniques of governance often involve physical confinement and the state-sanctioned execution of black Americans, new carceral modes have blurred the distinction between the inside and outside of prison.

Both transcribe unvalidated states and formations, which makes you feel a different life is plausible, because it is in fact already here, unvalidated.

The rhythm was the message. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"\" style=\"white-space: pre-wrap;\"\u003eWhat the fire sees, the vision of the thing that produces light, is a primal thought and a reverse perspective. Wanting to know outcomes in advance – desiring a guarantee before the show – is a conservative position as it can only rely on established systems of value. Old modes, old institutions guarantee one’s legibility while breaking intuition. Forecasting is precisely the opposite of politics and what we believe is important in shared work: a risk taken together because things can be done differently. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"\" style=\"white-space: pre-wrap;\"\u003eThen how can difference not be a consumer choice? Conflicting positions are not a form of entertainment or titillation to be leveraged. Instead they make a case for what it means to remain torn, complex, unconsolidated, and for that not to be contrary to social cohesion. In this book, we are trying to make an architecture like this, with no world-building aspiration. The market singles one out as a consumer only, harnesses desire and makes it personal. It’s a sham and a bad rehearsal: desire is not connected to any single choice, it functions in the mutual realm.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"\" style=\"white-space: pre-wrap;\"\u003eSontag’s advice to a writer was to find a limb and go out on it.

A Shetlander now based in London, Helen draws upon her own staggered migrations south in order to articulate an account of how place manifests in a person.

The interviews provide a rare look at Takayanagi’s eccentric practice and personality, both long under-recognized by audiences outside (and often, inside) of Japan. In this respect, the interviews speak to the goals of Blank Forms’ publication enterprise, that is, to expand upon our work in performance programming, record production, and archival preservation, and to foster new dialogues on vanguard art and music from the past 50-plus years.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe postwar Japanese history that Takayanagi describes also surfaces in this publication’s opening piece, a poetictribute by the writer and artist Louise Landes Levi to one of Takayanagi’s contemporaries, the poet Kazuko Shiraishi. Aspirations of Madness includes a second Levi poem as well, “A Deep River,” written while at La Monte Young and Marian Zazeela’s Dream House in 2003, while Charles Curtis was rehearsing Just Charles and Cello in the Romantic Chord, a composition by Young that Blank Forms plans to present in Spring 2020. Complementing this tradition of Japanese free improvisation and poetry is the republication of a 1977 interview with Joseph Jarman, the great composer, poet, and multi-instrumentalist. The interview took place a few months after the publication of Jarman’s book Black Case Volume I \u0026amp; II: Return from Exile, a collection of writings from 1960 to 1977 that Blank Forms had the honor of publishing in a new edition in Fall 2019.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe also feature Charles Stein’s introduction to Being = Space x Action, a crucial supplement to another recent Blank Forms publication, Poësy Matters and Other Matters by Catherine Christer Hennix. In its specificity and rarity of focus, Stein’s text offers valuable information on a vibrant artistic network of the recent past, as well as an extended look at the evolution of Hennix’s complex practice. Further along, Aspirations of Madness features an excerpt from The Tree of Music, a cross-cultural treatise by the Russian musicologist Genrich “Henry” Orlov, the English translation of which has never been published before. The Tree of Music is a sweeping philosophical study of global music and cultures with universalist and spiritualist ambitions, excerpts of which are here selected and introduced by the composer and pianist Leo Svirsky. Aspirations of Madness closes with one of Maryanne Amacher’s final pieces of writing, “The Agreement,” from 2009.

From the attention-seeking impulse of the poseur to the democratisation of art and knowledge through books, digital networks, pop music and self-organised libraries, and to the question of what can be known and by whom, the urge to disseminate is explored here as an elemental phenomenon of our time.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"\"\u003eEdited by David Blamey \u0026amp; Brad Haylock\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003ePublished by\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Open Editions","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41886140334310,"sku":"","price":20.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0603\/5338\/0582\/products\/IMG_57991212.jpg?v=1634664952"},{"product_id":"diagrams-of-power-ed-by-patricio-dvila","title":"DIAGRAMS OF POWER: VISUALIZING, MAPPING, AND PERFORMING RESISTANCE ed. by Patricio Dávila","description":"\u003cp class=\"\" style=\"white-space: pre-wrap;\"\u003e170 x 240mm, 312 pages, Colour printing, Perfect bound, Softcover, 2024\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe draw diagrams to help us think, communicate and put forth what we think is important or what we want to be true.

What can art do in a continuing catastrophe when destruction and contamination have made living impossible? The exhibition is located inside the exclusion zone, an evacuated radioactive area established after the nuclear disaster that forcibly separated residents from their homes, land, and community. In cooperation with former residents, participating artists installed newly commissioned works at sites in the exclusion zone. Although the exhibition opened in March 2015, the zone is still inaccessible to the public-the exhibition, like the radiation, is virtually invisible. The exhibition can only be viewed when restrictions are lifted and people are permitted to return. This might take several years or decades-a period that could extend beyond our lifetime. While nuclear contamination has displaced and ruptured communities, new temporary and translocal formations have emerged among the residents who have lent their sites, other former residents collaborating on the project, and the artists, curators, and cultural workers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"\"\u003ePublished by\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Sternberg Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41886144954598,"sku":"","price":15.75,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0603\/5338\/0582\/products\/IMG_0915jpg0507.jpg?v=1634665076"},{"product_id":"about-graphic-design-by-richard-hollis","title":"WRITINGS ABOUT GRAPHIC DESIGN by Richard Hollis","description":"\u003cp class=\"\" style=\"white-space: pre-wrap;\"\u003e170mm × 240 mm, 296 pages, Black \u0026amp; white printing, Paperback, 2012; reprinted 2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"\" style=\"white-space: pre-wrap;\"\u003eFrom the man who brought you the layout of John Berger’s \u003cem\u003eWays of Seeing\u003c\/em\u003e comes a comprehensive selection of writings covering over 40 years of reflection on graphic design history, including interviews, essays, letters, articles, lectures and course outlines.

Markopoulos contains some ninety out-of-print or previously unavailable articles by the Greek-American filmmaker who, as a contemporary of Kenneth Anger, Stan Brakhage and Andy Warhol, was at the forefront of a movement that established a truly independent form of cinema. Beginning with his early writings on the American avant-garde and auteurs such as Dreyer, Bresson and Mizoguchi, it also features numerous essays on Markopoulos’ own practice, and on films by Robert Beavers, that were circulated only in journals, self-published editions or programme notes. The texts become increasingly metaphysical and poetic as the filmmaker pursued his ideal of Temenos, an archive and screening space to be located at a remote site in the Peloponnese where his epic final work could be viewed in harmony with the Greek landscape. Gregory J. Markopoulos (1928-1992) is a unique figure in film history, whose life’s work stands in testament to his strength of vision and commitment to the medium.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePublished by\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Visible Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41886269309158,"sku":"","price":20.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0603\/5338\/0582\/products\/6802C5AB-2C39-4775-89D0-0751FA095B8C.jpg?v=1634668037"},{"product_id":"perforated-eardrum-by-clara-heathcock-and-patrick-wray","title":"PERFORATED EARDRUM by Clara Heathcock and Patrick Wray","description":"\u003cp class=\"\" style=\"white-space: pre-wrap;\"\u003eA4, 40 pages, full colour digital printing throughout, perfect bound, 2018.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"\" style=\"white-space: pre-wrap;\"\u003e‘Written by Clara Heathcock, art by Patrick Wray.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"\" style=\"white-space: pre-wrap;\"\u003eHi, I'm Clara, I'm a music critic and my eardrum exploded.
