long water: fibre stories
AU$30.00 Read MoreAdd to cartFreja Carmichael
Brisbane: Institute of Modern Art, 2020.“long water: fibre stories illuminates spiritual, ancestral, and physical connections to water through fibre practices of artists from Yuwaalaraay (North West NSW), Quandamooka (Moreton Bay, South East QLD), Kuku Yalanji (Far North QLD), Zenadh Kes (Torres Strait Islands, QLD), Yurruwi (Milingimbi Island, NT), and surrounding homelands. Together this group–Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander women, spanning different generations and ancestries–share an inseparable relationship to water, be it the vast sea, inland waterways, or expansive river systems. Collectively, long water celebrates the stories of regeneration and continuation of important cultural traditions, and the strong women and vital water places that sustain them. The country, and wide range of environments, practices, and knowledge represented speak to both deep time and contemporary experiences–bringing into focus the importance of water to our cultural health and our capacity for resilience.” (publisher’s blurb)

Gustav Klimt: The Complete Paintings XXL
AU$350.00 Read MoreAdd to cartTobias G. Natter; Gustav Klimt
Koln: Taschen, 2018.“During his lifetime, Gustav Klimt was a controversial star whose works made passions run high. He stood for Modernism but he also embodied tradition. His pictures polarized and divided the art-loving world. The press and general public alike were split over the question: For or against Klimt? This monograph explores Klimt’s oeuvre with particular emphasis upon such contemporary voices. With a complete catalogue of his paintings, including new photographs of the Stoclet Frieze commissioned exclusively for this book, it examines the reactions to Klimts work throughout his career. Subjects range from Klimt’s portrayal of women to his adoption of landscape painting. The theory that Klimt was a man of few words who rarely put pen to paper is also dispelled with the inclusion of 179 letters, cards, writings, and other documents from the artist.” (publisher’s blurb)

Media Works

Toronto: Art Metropole, 1992.“The Baxters’ relationship to media and issues of media exploded in 1965 as one of the conceivers of “The Medium Is The Message”, a multi-media extravaganza involving artists of all disciples as well as Marshall McLuhan. In 1966 they began a flood of projects in non-art media such as business cards, letterhead, buttons, and the founding of the N.E THING CO. LTD. It reflects Canadian identity in terms of bureaucracy and everyday life. All images are in black and white.” (publisher’s blurb)

Know Thy Instrument / A Lecture (AI Split Editions #1)
AU$50.00 Read MoreAdd to cartBruce McClure; Hollis Frampton
Milan: Atelier Impopulaire, 2014.“Atelier Impopulaire Split #1 consists of an original text by Bruce McClure, an architect and performer based in New York. It is titled Know Thy Instrument, and based on a lecture given by Hollis Frampton on 30 October 1968, then published as A Lecture. Both with his text and projection performance, McClure aims at reflecting upon the body/technology dynamics, the relation with the whole projection apparatus, and the implications deriving from the removal of some of its parts. This all results in a modification of its mechanical structure, thus provoking a systemic abstraction of the obscurity/light duality in the guise of sound patterns.” (publisher’s blurb)

Heath Course Pak

Denver: Counterpath, 2012.“Like its predecessor, HEATH (plagiarism/outsource), Heath Course Pak exists somewhere between a Project Gutenberg version of Samuel Pepys Diary and a minute-to-minute news feed and blog of Heath Ledger’s death. Sad, appropriated, lyrical and confused, the book contains a brief history of recent performance art, a legal defense of plagiarism, the diary of a poetry workshop at the Asian American Writer’s Workshop, an MP3 protest song, and an examination of SMS and GMS technologies as distribution networks for human sadness. Multi-authored, and with numerous text blocks and photos, the revised edition contains 52 pages of new material, an interview, an annotated text, autographed photos of Jackie Chan and Heath Ledger, e-PostIts, COAs, and coffee/tea stains.” (publisher’s blurb)
