Making Art Work
AU$35.00 Read MoreAdd to cartLlewellyn Millhouse; Liz Nowell; Tulleah Pearce; Sarah Thomson
Brisbane: Institute of Modern Art, 2021.“This publication documents an initiative of the Institute of Modern Art, Making Art Work which proposed an experimental role for the institution as administrators of economic stimulus for artists. Taking place across 2020–during and post [COV..]-19 lockdowns–the project saw over 40 artists commissioned to create new works that reinforced the importance of creative labour at a time when the cultural and economic value of art had been diminished. Drawing from the politicised language of the crisis, each artist responded to the provocations posed by four curatorial pillars; Unprecedented Times, Industrial Actions, Permanent Revolution, and Relief Measures. Artist commissions spanned objects, texts, workshops, ephemeral projects, and more with the outcomes presented via makingart.work, and at the IMA Belltower. This publication complies these artworks alongside new essays from Sophia Nampitjinpa Sambono, Ian Were, Sarah Werkmeister, and Yen-Rong Wong, and a foreword from IMA staff Llewellyn Millhouse, Liz Nowell, Tulleah Pearce, and Sarah Thomson to create a document celebrating Queensland art and artists. Making Art Work commissioned artists included: Tony Albert, Kieron Anderson, Mariam Arcilla, Maeve Baker, Richard Bell, Mia Boe, Hannah Brontë, Michael Candy, Emil Cañita, Jacquie Chlanda, Monika Noémi Correa, Merinda Davies, Julian Day, Digi Youth Arts, ?ggve|n, Ana Paula Estrada, Chantal Fraser, Hannah Gartside, Mindy Gill, Channon Goodwin, Kinly Grey, Daisy Hamlot, Susan Hawkins, Rachael Haynes, Gordon Hookey, Natalya Hughes, Inkahoots, Peter Kozak, Jenna Lee, Mia McAuslan & Jon Tjhia, Amelia McLeish, Archie Moore, Tori-Jay Mordey, Sally Olds, Steven Oliver, Sarah Poulgrain, Refugee Solidarity Meanjin, Angelica Roache-Wilson, Amy Sargeant, Shandy, Jacqui Shelton, Des Skordilis, Hannah Smith, David Spooner, Grant Stevens, Tyza Stewart, and Liesel Zink.” (publisher’s blurb)

An Inquiry into the Causes and Effects of the Variolae Vaccinae, a Disease Discovered in some of the Western Countries of England, Particularly Gloucestershire, and Known by the Name of The Cow Pox
AU$3,500.00 Read MoreAdd to cartEdward Jenner
Sydney: Thomas Richards, Government Printer, 1884.The 1884 Australian reprint of one of the seminal works of medicine, Edward Jenner’s pioneering work on the creation of the smallpox vaccine, the world’s first vaccine. Published in the wake of Sydney’s 1881 smallpox outbreak as part of a renewed push in what was a long and unsuccessful campaign by New South Wales medical practitioners for mandatory vaccination, when by 1860, Queensland and New South Wales were the only Australian colonies not to have enacted such legislation. Reprinted from Australian physician George Bennett’s copy of the Second Edition published by Sampson Low in 1800 and containing the second and third parts, while stated in the preface (likely penned by John Creed) to be “a perfect fac simile”, differs from the original edition in that it is “printed in a later and slightly larger type, in which the old “s” form does not appear. The half-title is omitted, and the title page, though a fairly close reproduction of the original, bears in small type a job number of the local printer. On the reverse of the title, blank in the original, appears “Reprinted by Authority: Thomas Richards, Government Printer, Sydney, 1884. A preface occupying a single page is inserted, and this, with the differences in type, alter the pagination. As in the original, a second part “A Continuation of Facts and Observations Relative to the Variolae Vaccinae”, with its own half-title and title pages, is included. The four coloured engravings are well reproduced in lithograph, the artist’s and engraver’s names being omitted. The text has been corrected from the errata page of the original, which is not included.” (The Sydney Reprint of Jenner’s Inquiry, Edward Ford, FERGUSON 10930, FORD 1052)

The Reluctant Narrator: A Survey of Narrative Practices Across Media
AU$125.00 Read MoreAdd to cartAna Teixeira Pinto
Lisboa and Berlin: Museu Colecao Berardo / Sternberg Press, 2015.“Often referred to as the narrative turn, an explosion of interest in narrative practices at the end of the twentieth century was predicated on the notion that life itself is storied, oras Jacques Ranciére put itthat the real must be fictionalized in order to be thought. Postmodernism itself was described as a narrative turn in which a rekindled interest in the fictive, the chronicle, and the anecdotal upstaged the symbolic unity of high modernism. But as Susan Buck-Morss has noted, modernism and postmodernism are not historical moments, they are political positions: two poles of a recurring movement, expressing the contradictions inherent to the industrial mode of production in the identity and nonidentity between social function and aesthetic form. Rather than opposing a myriad of micro-narratives to the grand narrative of modernism, The Reluctant Narrator attempts to map the migration of narrative modes across several media, bringing together works that intertwine personal biography with historical events, or that deal with stories that fell through the crevices of history.” (publisher’s blurb) Edition of 400.

The Witch: A History of Fear, from Ancient Times to the Present
AU$25.00 Read MoreAdd to cartRonald Hutton
New Haven and London: Yale University Press, 2018.“Why have societies all across the world feared witchcraft? This book delves deeply into its context, beliefs, and origins in Europe’s history The witch came to prominence-and often a painful death-in early modern Europe, yet her origins are much more geographically diverse and historically deep. In this landmark book, Ronald Hutton traces witchcraft from the ancient world to the early-modern stake. This book sets the notorious European witch trials in the widest and deepest possible perspective and traces the major historiographical developments of witchcraft. Hutton, a renowned expert on ancient, medieval, and modern paganism and witchcraft beliefs, combines Anglo-American and continental scholarly approaches to examine attitudes on witchcraft and the treatment of suspected witches across the world, including in Africa, the Middle East, South Asia, Australia, and North and South America, and from ancient pagan times to current interpretations. His fresh anthropological and ethnographical approach focuses on cultural inheritance and change while considering shamanism, folk religion, the range of witch trials, and how the fear of witchcraft might be eradicated.” (publisher’s blurb)
