Rachel Maclean
Exploring themes of identity, gender, consumerism, and the media, Rachel Maclean's eyepopping work uses the visual tropes and references of the internet-era to create a commentary on contemporary life. This book presents a considerable body of work, consisting of eight videos and four print series that span Maclean's career so far. It features an introductory essay by Melissa Gronlund that explores how the artist melds fairy tales, childhood, politics and capitalism, and a text by writer William Davies looking at the themes of happiness and surveillance in the video Feed Me. Also included is an interview with the artist, which gives an insight into her influences, themes and working practices.
Derrick VC in his own words
Tom 'Diver' Derrick VC DCM was Australia's most famous fighting soldier of World War II. Derrick fought in five campaigns, won the highest medals for bravery, and died of wounds sustained while leading his men in the war's last stages. His career reached its climax on the jungle-clad heights of Sattelberg in New Guinea, where he won the Victoria Cross by spearheading the capture of seemingly impregnable Japanese defences.

Those diaries and all his other known wartime correspondence and interviews are published here for the first time in their entirety. '...

Forms of Enchantment
Art-writing at its most useful should share the dynamism, fluidity and passions of the objects of its enquiry, argues Marina Warner. In this new anthology of some of her most compelling work, she captures the visual experience of the work of several artists with a notable focus on the inner lives of women through an exploration of the range of stories and symbols to which they allude. Metamorphosis features vividly in the imagery, stories and media of the art that Warner has chosen to write about: in connection with animals in the work of Louise Bourgeois, for instance; with the Catholicism of Damien Hirst; and with performance as a medium of memory and resistance in the installations of Joa...
Shared Encounters
Every day we share encounters with others as we inhabit the space around us.
