Melvin's dull life is turned into a paranoid trek for survival when his existence more-and-more resembles art rather than life. Murder, psychotherapy, hit and runs, riots, matrimony, and angry clowns ensue...or is it all an act? Still sullen from being left at the altar, Melvin hides out in million-dollar studios with his client, world-famous art rocker Violenza Domestica. Suddenly, a man with a Humphrey Bogart identity crisis forces Melvin to be even less comfortable with his existence – intimidating him to confront the mundane…or die. Fortunately, his genteel therapist, pedantic brother, and harlequin survival coach guide him through his accumulating traumas only to witness a form of sadism he never could have imagined possible. VULNERABILIA is a dark comedic novella weaving genres of mystery and literature. With characters pulled from entertainment culture headlines, and hints of mockumentary blended with psychological thriller, VULNERABILIA explores what aspects of a ‘real’ self can survive the American addiction to media, entertainment, and violence.
Jonathan Hernández nos presenta una colección de imágenes sobre uno de los productos más abundantes de la era de las masas: el papel impreso. El mundo contemporáneo sería incomprensible sin esa sutil revolución del papel que dio palabras a las masas. Sin embargo, pese a esta milenaria vocación protagónica, el papel impreso va cediendo su lugar, en nuestros días, a los medios electrónicos, más veloces e intangibles. Cada imagen que nos presenta es una reproducción digital de otra imagen alguna vez impresa en papel. Su trama, discontinua y fragmentada, nos conduce desde el terreno más crudamente material, hasta el espacio intangible del deseo. ---------------------------------------------------- Jonathan Hernández presents a collection of images of one of the most abundant products of the era of masses: printed paper. The contemporary world would be incomprehensible without this subtle paper revolution that gave words to the masses. However, in spite of this thousand year-old protagonist role, printed paper is currently relinquishing its place to the faster and intangible electronic media. Each image that Jonathan Hernández presents us with is a digital reproduction of an image once printed on paper. And each one of these shows one of the social uses of paper. Its plot, discontinuous and fragmented, takes us from the most crudely material realm to the intangible space of desire. And all this from the conscious paradox of a work that will never be embodied on paper.

From the Publisher: Art Now Volume I brings together the recent work and biographical information for our selection of the 150 most influential artists working at the end of the 20th century. Art Now also includes a sort of service guide, produced in collaboration with The Art Newspaper, which lists museums, restaurants, and hotels we recommend you check out while you're cruising the global art scene, and even gives the scoop on how much one can expect to pay for a Damien Hirst or a Sharon Lockhart and whom to contact if you decide to buy. We also let you know useful details like how many prints Wolfgang Tillmans made for a certain edition and what sorts of sums big players like Koons, Sherman, and Struth bring in at auction. Think of it as an indispensable reference book, travel guide, and art market directory all rolled into one.

Road accidents are the sixth leading cause of death in Central Asia., with a road traffic death rate of 10 to 25 per 100,000. A framework is needed for Central Asia Regional Economic Cooperation (CAREC) member countries to effectively implement CAREC's commitment to road safety. CAREC's strategy envisions making its road corridors safe, efficient, and attractive to motorists. The target is to halve the number of CAREC road corridor fatalities by 2030---translating to 23,000 lives saved and 250,000 serious injuries prevented annually. The strategy builds upon existing strengths within the region, addresses gaps, utilizes good practice, and mitigates risks. This publication embodies the CAREC countries' commitment to make road safety a priority.
