Marvel
AU$75.00 Read MoreAdd to cartMarvel Harris
[London]: MACK, 2021.“At first the focus of my project was my gender transition, but along the way I found out that its about an ongoing search for myself: being a human with feelings, who is continuously developing.” (Marvel Harris) “MARVEL describes the journey of Marvel Harris personal battles with mental illness, self-love, acceptance, and gender identity, all told through a searing collection of self-portraits spanning the course of five years. These photographs present a new-found visual language; a tool with which Marvel was able to express those emotions that, on account of his autism, he previously struggled to make sense of. The process of making these portraits allowed him to connect to the world around him at the time he needed it most. Winner of the MACK First Book Award 2021, MARVEL is an important new voice which contributes to an increased awareness of the issues surrounding gender identity and mental health. In doing so, this deeply personal book demands a more tolerant attitude from society towards transgender people and those who dont identify as entirely male or female.” (publisher’s blurb)

What We Could Have Become: Reflections on Queer Feminist Filmmaking
AU$27.00 Read MoreAdd to cartMalu Blume
[Eindhoven]: Onomatopee, 2021.“The publication What we could have become explores the radical potentials of care and speculative fiction in the context of queer feminist collective filmmaking. Departing from the experimental short film The Book of S of I (2020) by Malu Blume, this publication is a documentation of the film project just as much as its own artistic medium. Using a performative mode, it weaves together film stills with unreleased set photography, creating a visual narration that reflects caring and kinship through a queer feminist — and femme — lens. With a foreword by editor Sascia Bailer, the booklet contains a transcript of the films narrative voice over and an essay on queer utopian care in the context of The Book of S of I and its making, both written by the artist Malu Blume. The publication concludes with a conversation between Malu Blume and their co-producers, friends and artistic collaborators Ipek Hamzaoglu, Laura Nitsch and Sophie Utikal, moderated by Sascia Bailer. In this conversation the artists and discuss the chances and challenges of collective film making in the context of producing The Book of S of I.” (publisher’s blurb)

Garbage Man
AU$65.00 Read MoreAdd to cartTal R
[Zurich]: Nieves and innen, 2021.“Garbage Man — could refer to Tal R himself as manic collector of what other people would perhaps refer to as refuse. Collecting and arranging of images is an integral component of his artistic practice and arises in its own manifestation from an inner necessity. The Yiddish word Kolbojnik (Waste, Remains) also runs through the work of the artist within the titling of many of his works. His collection, which can be found within the individual collages, consists of an eclectic mix of primitive tribal art, art history masterpieces, pornos, comics, private photos, childhood pictures, sketches and picture book illustrations, and was collected by Tal R over a period of 25 years. The works evoke in their pseudo-encyclopaedic phenomenon associations, Aby Warburg’s Mnemosyne Atlas, or, to refer to another artist, the Atlas by Gerhard Richter. Similar to him, the arranged pieces within the collages from Garbage Man served and serve the artist also as templates for paintings and sculptures.” (publisher’s blurb)

AU$50.00 Read MoreAdd to cartGary Werskey; A. H. Fullwood
Sydney: NewSouth Publishing, 2021.“The untold story of a major Australian artist. Regarded in his day as an important Australian impressionist painter, A.H. Fullwood (1863-1930) was also the most widely viewed British-Australian artist of the Heidelberg era. Fullwood’s illustrations for the popular Picturesque Atlas of Australasia and the Bulletin, as well as leading Australian and English newspapers, helped shape how settler-colonial Australia was seen both here and around the world. Meanwhile his paintings were as celebrated as those of his good friends Tom Roberts and Arthur Streeton. So why is Fullwood so little known today? In this pioneering, richly illustrated biography, Gary Werskey brings Fullwood and his extraordinary career as an illustrator, painter, and war artist back to life, while casting a new light on the most fabled era in the history of Australian art.” (publisher’s blurb)

Beating the Benzo Blues
AU$20.00 Read MoreAdd to cartDale Carruth
[Australia]: Dale Carruth, 2021.“This book is an easy to follow, three-step guide, to help you safely detox off benzodiazepines with minimal stress and disruption to your daily life. It will first will help you identify whether benzodiazepine addiction is present and then how to slowly detox off them. It is aimed at both individuals and health practitioners. Benzodiazepines were introduced in the 50s, and falsely marketed as virtually non-addictive drugs for psychic tension. Time has proven otherwise and these drugs, are now known to be highly addictive and responsible for perhaps, one of the worst medical blunders in history. Many people taking benzos, usually prescribed for sleep or anxiety, may be unaware they’re even addicted and consequently might attribute their withdrawal symptoms to something else entirely. Dale Carruth is an addiction counsellor and educator. This book is a result of many years of clinical practise, research and observation in both private practise and working for Tranx Services, New Zealand, a counselling and detoxification service, dedicated to prescription medication addiction.” (publisher’s blurb)
