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.
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.

During the 1960s a group of young artists in Japan challenged official forms of politics and daily life through interventionist art practices. William Marotti situates this phenomenon in the historical and political contexts of Japan after the Second World War and the international activism of the 1960s. The Japanese government renewed its Cold War partnership with the United States in 1960, defeating protests against a new security treaty through parliamentary action and the use of riot police. Afterward, the government promoted a depoliticized everyday world of high growth and consumption, creating a sanitized national image to present in the Tokyo Olympics of 1964. Artists were first to challenge this new political mythology. Marotti examines their political art, and the state's aggressive response to it. He reveals the challenge mounted in projects such as Akasegawa Genpei's 1,000-yen prints, a group performance on the busy Yamanote train line, and a plan for a giant guillotine in the Imperial Plaza. Focusing on the annual Yomiuri Indépendant exhibition, he demonstrates how artists came together in a playful but powerful critical art, triggering judicial and police response. Money, Trains, and Guillotines expands our understanding of the role of art in the international 1960s, and of the dynamics of art and policing in Japan.
Broken Heartlands is an essential and compelling political road-trip through ten constituencies that tell the story of Labour’s red wall from Sebastian Payne – an award-winning journalist and Whitehall Editor for the Financial Times. The Times Political Book of the Year A Daily Telegraph, Guardian, Daily Mail and FT Book of the Year 'Immensely readable' - Observer Historically, the red wall formed the backbone of Labour’s vote in the Midlands and the North of England but, during the 2019 general election, it dramatically turned Conservative for the first time in living memory, redrawing the electoral map in the process. Originally from the North East himself, Payne sets out to uncover the real story behind the red wall and what turned these seats blue. Beginning in Blyth Valley in the North East and ending in Burnley, with visits to constituencies across the Midlands and Yorkshire along the way, Payne gets to the heart of a key political story of our time that will have ramifications for years to come. While Brexit and the unpopularity of opposition leader Jeremy Corbyn are factors, there is a more nuanced story explored in Broken Heartlands – of how these northern communities have fared through generational shifts, struggling public services, de-industrialization and the changing nature of work. Featuring interviews with local people, plus major political figures from both parties – including Boris Johnson and Sir Keir Starmer – Payne explores the significant role these social and economic forces, decades in the making, have played in this fundamental upheaval of the British political landscape. 'Impressive and entertaining' - Sunday Times 'A must-read for anyone who wants to understand England today' - Robert Peston
Maxfield Parrish enjoyed tremendous popularity throughout the early decades of the twentieth century. Bruce Watson, writing in Smithsonian magazine, deemed Parrish the "comman man's Rembrandt." It's said that during the Depression, a Parrish illustration was displayed on the walls of one out of every four American homes. The artist's romantic, richly colored images of winsome maidens and faraway places continue to appeal to modern audiences. Selected from hundreds of the artist's images for books, magazines, and calendars, this original collection spotlights Parrish's work from 1897 through the 1920s. Illustrations include art from publications such as Century Magazine, Collier's, and Scribner's. Numerous advertisements include the famed Edison-Mazda Lamp series, along with ads for Jell-O, Ferry's Seeds, and Swift's Premium Ham.
