Forcibly Bewitched
This book reproduces in black and white a group of witch watercolours made between 2016 and 2020 by artist duo Cullinan Richards.0The subtle hues and shimering liquid tones of the originals were translated into matt black on reflective high gloss paper to produce a rich lush silvery surface.0With an introductory poem by Sarah Mitchelson.
The Book is A--live!
The Book Is Alive is a survey of current thinking and innovative practice in contemporary publishing based on papers presented at the Booklive international symposium in London in June 2012. This event brought together theorists and practitioners from the world of publishing and artists' books to examine the current transformation of the book and its ability to keep apace with digital culture and the emergence of new modes of making, reading, collecting and disseminating "on-the-page" work. It includes an interview with conceptual artist Joan Fontcuberta, a keynote text by Artbook - D.A.P. President Sharon Gallagher and writings by Andrej Blatnik, Sarah Bodman, Marco Bohr, Daniela Cascella, Arnaud Desjardin, Annabel Frearson, Peter Jaeger, Susan Johanknecht and Katharine Mignell, Sharon Kirland and Nick Thurston, Didier Mathieu, Paul Soulellis and Stefan Szczelkun.
Fluxus Codex
Fluxus was an art movement of the 1960s and 70s that set out to abolish the canonized art idioms of the day. Pioneers of Conceptual Art and Minimalism, the Fluxus artists were known for their environments, performance art and mass-producible objects. This book is a study of the Fluxus movement.
Becoming Invisible
A delightful pocket-guide to becoming invisible through meditations on color Both an artist's book and a would-be practical guide, this beautiful little book offers occult instructions for becoming invisible by meditating on the color spectrum. It draws on the literature of Rosicrucianism, theosophy and esoteric yoga to demonstrate how, through breathing exercises and visualization, the reader can learn to split light into its constituent parts, then recombine the seven colours of the spectrum to form a glowing white cloud that envelops its creator, rendering him or her invisible. Its author, London-based artist Ian Whittlesea--well known for his book works based on spiritual-physical exercises, such as Yves Klein: The Foundations of Judo and Mazdaznan Health & Breath Culture--notes in the preface: "These exercises are intended to allow you to become invisible. This does not, however, mean that you will physically disappear or dematerialize. Instead you will be hidden from view, concealed within a cloud of your own creation."Gorgeous colour abstractions by Whittlesea illustrate the book throughout.
On Colour...
Only those who love colour are admitted to its beauty and immanent presence. It affords utility to all, but unveils its deeper mysteries only to its devotees."0- Johannes Itten00'On Colour...' draws on the theories of colour harmony that Johannes Itten taught at the Bauhaus, and on the literature of Mazdaznan, Rosicrucianism and Theosophy. It describes how one can, potentially, produce the white cloud of invisibility and documents the author?s own attempts to manifest the cloud. These manifestations have a complex group of antecedents that include Lawrence Weiner?s early spray-painted works, John Latham?s One Second Drawings, Robert Irwin?s luminous disc paintings of the 1960s and representations of the ineffable made by spiritualists and occultists.
