The enticing allure of Oxford Street nightlife beckoned and in particular a legendary nightclub called Patchs. A semi-biographical account of a young man’s journey and self-discovery which leads to a chance encounter as he hooks up with an older guy called Matt Paris, who’s been around the traps and harboured a secret past. They form a complicated friendship and bond as they embark on a shared weekend life together. Both men were from vastly different backgrounds, experiencing the highs and lows of gay life on Oxford Street in the mid to late ’80s of sex, drugs and clubbing. Oxford Street was called Sydney’s ‘Gay Golden Mile’. A beehive of social activities gathered on this strip that glittered with life and a party atmosphere catering for everyone’s tastes and fantasies. The DJ’s in these establishments were the Gods of the dance floor, playing an accompanying soundtrack to your life. This was Mark’s story and experience!” (publisher’s blurb)

Ravedeath Convention
AU$70.00 Read MoreAdd to cartJan Philipzen
[Gent]: Art Paper Editions, 2020.“Started as a visual diary, Ravedeath Convention soon grew into a hybrid of autobiography and fiction. While love, joy and friendship are explored, violence and excess come about too, often captured only as traces and symptoms. A collision of different, occasionally mismatched, cultural symbols stresses the all-embracing blend of subcultures as a fundamental feature of our times. The first pictures taken at age thirteen, this series of black and white images is the edit of a continuous process of photographing, revisiting and reworking over a span of ten years. In the crippled prints the physical presence of body and photograph merge, celebrating human imperfection. The title references Tim Heckers album Ravedeath 1972′.” (publisher’s blurb)

Beyond The Periphery of the Skin: Rethinking, Remaking, and Reclaiming the Body in Contemporary Capitalism
AU$30.00 Read MoreAdd to cartSilvia Federici
Oakland: PM Press, 2020.“More than ever, the ‘body’ is today at the centre of radical and institutional politics. Feminist, antiracist, trans and ecological movements all look at the body as a ground of confrontation with the state and a vehicle for transformative social practices. Concurrently, the body has become a signifier for the reproduction crisis the neoliberal turn in capitalist development has generated and for the international surge in institutional repression and public violence. Here, lifelong activist and bestselling author Silvia Federici examines these complex processes, placing them in the context of the history of the capitalist transformation of the body into a work-machine. In this process she confronts some of the most important questions for radical political projects. What does ‘the body’ mean, today, as a category of social/political action? What are the processes, institutional or anti-systemic, by which it is constituted? How do we dismantle the tools by which our bodies have been “enclosed” and collectively reclaim our capacity to govern them?” (publisher’s blurb)

Wild, Fearless Chests
AU$29.00 Read MoreAdd to cartMandy Beaumont
Sydney: Hachette, 2020.“She is the explosion, the clamour, the thunder. She is the beat, the rage. She is every piece of violence imagined on the skin. She is the near miss. She is the woman you once were, the woman you could be, the woman you are. She is a triumph of our shared history, is every one of you, is your wild and screaming voice on street corners, is the madwoman you fear you may become. She loves you. As women’s voices begin to rise together, Mandy Beaumont’s brutal and uncompromising stories are a compelling reminder of the ways in which women have fallen, been dismissed, hurt, hated and loved from afar. These are the stories we have always known, have always heard about and are perhaps just short moments away from. They are yours, ours, mine. They are booming anger. They are wild love. They are the distorted and the decided, the imagined and the wanted. They are the shaking ground beneath our feet. A powerful call to arms. They compel us to stand tall. To break free. To defy the gaze. To claim our space. Wild, Fearless Chests is the sound of a certain revolution.” (publisher’s blurb) “Drowning in Thick Air” is shocking… It is not like anything I have read in recent years and takes me to a place I have never been in my life or imagination or in fiction.’ (Frank Moorhouse)
