Brian Blomerth’s Mycelium Wassonii
AU$60.00 Read MoreAdd to cartBrian Blomerth
New York: Anthology Editions, 2021.“Brian Blomerth first fused his singularly irreverent underground comix style with heavily-researched history in 2019’s Brian Blomerth’s Bicycle Day, a Technicolor retelling of the discovery of LSD. Now, the illustrator and graphic novelist continues his wild and woolly excursions into the history of mind expansion with Mycelium Wassonii, an account of the lives and trips of R. Gordon and Valentina Wasson, the pioneering scientist couple responsible for popularizing the use of psychedelic mushrooms. A globetrotting vision of hallucinatory science and religious mysticism with appearances by Life Magazine, the CIA, and the Buddha, Mycelium Wassonii is a visual history and a love story as only Blomerth’s Isograph pen can render it.” (publisher’s blurb)

Transcendent Waves: How Listening Shapes Our Creative Lives
AU$40.00 Read MoreAdd to cartLavender Suarez
New York: Anthology Editions, 2020.“How can thoughtfully and intentionally listening to our world expand and inform our creative practices? What insights can we gain when we delve into the immersive world of sound, which permeates our every moment? In Transcendent Waves, sound healing practitioner, meditation teacher, and artist Lavender Suarez outlines how listening can unlock moments of creative spark, self awareness, and calm in a work that is equal parts how-to guide and contemplative artist’s workbook. Suarez’s illustrated meditations follow in the artistic tradition of Yoko Ono’s Grapefruit and the creations of the Fluxus group, but also offer a modern take on listening in a world that gets louder every day. Covering everything from the noise of everyday life to musical compositions, Transcendent Waves compiles scientific evidence, anecdotes, and thoughtful prompts to spark a sense of wonderment and appreciation for the intricacies of sound and the new perspectives it can bring to our daily creative worlds.” (publisher’s blurb)

Brian Blomerth’s Bicycle Day
AU$60.00 Read MoreAdd to cartBrian Blomerth
New York: Anthology Editions, 2019.A visual history of the world’s first acid trip. With an introduction by Dennis McKenna. “Illustrator, musician and self-described “comic stripper” Brian Blomerth has spent years combining classic underground art styles with his bitingly irreverent visual wit in zines, comics, and album covers. With Brian Blomerth’s Bicycle Day, the artist has produced his most ambitious work to date: a historical account of the events of April 19, 1943, when Swiss chemist Albert Hofmann ingested an experimental dose of a new compound known as lysergic acid diethylamide and embarked on the world’s first acid trip. Combining an extraordinary true story told in journalistic detail with the artist’s gritty, timelessly Technicolor comix style, Brian Blomerth’s Bicycle Day is a testament to mind expansion and a stunningly original visual history.” (publisher’s blurb)

We Ate The Acid
AU$50.00 Read MoreAdd to cartJoe Roberts
New York: Anthology Editions, 2018.“Artist Joe Roberts has spent more than a decade honing a deeply unique and unapologetically hallucinogenic style of art. Through paintings, drawings and mixed-media works, Roberts navigates a world of cosmic imagery, pop cultural detritus, and shifting geometric forms, bringing to life both the creeping unease and the uncanny humor of the psychedelic experience. Collecting over 100 new and recent works along with an introduction by Hamilton Morris (Hamilton’s Pharmacopeia), We Ate the Acid is the latest product of Roberts’ visionary journeys and a testament to his expansive, singular imagination.” (publisher’s blurb)

Unusual Sounds: The Hidden History of Library Music
AU$75.00 Read MoreAdd to cartDavid Hollander
New York: Anthology Editions, 2018.“In the heyday of low-budget television and scrappy genre filmmaking, producers who needed a soundtrack for their commercial entertainments could reach for a selection of library music: LPs of stock recordings whose contents fit any mood required. Though at the time, the use of such records was mostly a cost-cutting manoeuvre for productions that couldn’t afford to hire their own composer, the industry soon took on its own life: library publishers became major financial successes, and much of the work they released was truly extraordinary. In fact, many of these anonymous or pseudonymous scores-on-demand were crafted by the some of the greatest musical minds of the late 20th century-expert musicians and innovative composers who revelled in the freedoms offered, paradoxically, by this most corporate of fields.” (publisher’s blurb)

Jane Dickson in Times Square
AU$50.00 Read MoreAdd to cartJane Dickson
New York: Anthology Editions, 2018.“Artist Jane Dickson is a deep-rooted and central voice in New York City’s complex creative history. In the late 1970s and early ’80s, she was part of the movement joining the legacies of downtown art, punk rock, and hip hop through her involvement with the Colab art collective, the Fashion Moda gallery, and legendary exhibitions including the Real Estate Show and Times Square Show. In the midst of this groundbreaking work, Dickson lived, worked and raised two children in an apartment on 43rd Street and 8th Avenue at a time when the neighborhood was at its most infamous, crime-ridden, and spectacularly seedy. Through it all, Jane photographed, drew and painted extraordinary scenes of life in Times Square. These works, many of which are reproduced here for the first time, include candid documentary snapshots, roughly vibrant charcoal sketches, and paintings created on surfaces ranging from sandpaper to Brillo pads. Featuring a foreword by Chris Kraus and afterword by Fab Five Freddy, Jane Dickson in Times Square is a time machine back to a New York City that was truly wild: lawless, manic, sometimes squalid, sometimes magnificent.” (publisher’s blurb)

The Context
AU$40.00 Read MoreAdd to cartAlexandro Segade
New York: Primary Information, 2020.“The Context reimagines the superhero comic book as a queer parable of belonging. The story follows six powerful beings from different worlds who find themselves inexplicably adrift together in an otherwise lifeless void: Biopower, Cathexis, Barelife, Objector, Drives, and Form. The characters, each named for a concept drawn from critical theory, engage one another in skintight fight scenes that often look like sex scenes, and philosophical debates masked as exposition.” (publisher’s blurb)

The New Woman’s Survival Catalog
AU$60.00 Read MoreAdd to cartKristen Grimstad; Susan Rennie
New York: Primary Information, 2019.“Published in 1973, The New Womans Survival Catalog is a seminal survey of Second Wave feminist efforts, which, as the editors noted in their introduction, represented an ‘active attempt to reshape culture through changing values and consciousness’. Assembled by Kirsten Grimstad and Susan Rennie in only five months, The New Womans Survival Catalog makes a nod to Stewart Brands influential Whole Earth Catalog to map a vast network of feminist alternative cultural activity in the 1970s. Grimstad and Rennie set out on a two month road trip in the summer of 1973, meeting and interviewing all the featured organisations and individuals, and gathering information and further references along the way to complete the publication. From arts organisations to bookstores and independent presses, health, parenting, and rape crisis centres, and educational, legal and financial resources, this book provides crucial insight into feminist initiatives and activism nationwide during the Womens Movement. Styled as a sales catalog, The New Womans Survival Catalog comprises listings and organisational descriptions, articles, and extensive illustrations, as well as a ‘Making the Book’ section, detailing the publications production.” (publisher’s blurb)

Diego Rivera: The Detroit Industry Murals
AU$90.00 Read MoreAdd to cartLinda Bank Downs; Diego Rivera
New York: W. W. Norton & Company, 1999.“Early in the Depression, Diego Rivera was commissioned by Edsel Ford to create a series of murals in the gallery of the Detroit Institute of Arts, giant frescos whose theme would be America’s industrial might. This volume studies the astonishing results and gives us a remarkably close look at Diego and his wife, Frida Kahlo. Rivera’s Detroit Industry murals are one of this country’s greatest treasures. In addition to providing full coverage and analysis of the murals, this volume includes chapters on the murals’ planning and antecedents, Rivera’s working methods (which can be read as a primer on frescos), Diego and Frida’s lives for their nine months in Detroit, and the public’s dramatic response to the strong socialist/communist themes in the works.” (publisher’s blurb)
