Cosmosis
Cosmosis is the eponymous catalogue of an exhibition that investigates how the cosmos and the scientific fields of physics and cosmology continue to inspire artistic production, exerting great influence on our understanding of the universe--and our place therein. Scientific developments and breakthroughs inevitably have great cultural relevance and ramifications, often contributing to our sense of identity and role both as individuals and collectively within society. As is often the case: to look outward and beyond is also to look inward.
The Strangers Among Us
Literary Nonfiction. Caroline Picard's lyrical essay, THE STRANGERS AMONG US is a beautifully written exploration into the human obsession with cats and cat-like behavior. Picard makes use of philosophy, art criticism, YouTube videos, and James Joyce's Ulyssess to reason through, not only the popular culture fascination with our feline companions, but her personal relationship with own her cats. Part philosophical exploration, part touching memoir, all head and heart, THE STRANGERS AMONG US is a must for animal lovers, artists, and book lovers alike.

These are just some of the scenarios you'll entertain in this delightful volume. Introduction provided by Lily Robert-Foley, with delicious design created and covers printed by Sonnenzimmer and artwork included by the author. This full-color book was made in an edition of 100. Prior to its inclusion in "Happiness Machines" (an exhibit at Roxa Boxen Exhibitions) 25 copies of PSYCHO DREAM FACTORY were placed and left behind (with bar codes) in supermarket checkout aisles in Chicago, IL.

The Chronicles of Fortune
Fiction. Art. This is the first compilation of an ongoing serial comic about Fortuna. Allegedly "the greatest super hero in the world" she suffers from a bad case of ennui and as such is more or less ineffective.

Botanical Speculations
Ground-breaking scientific research and new philosophical perspectives currently challenge our anthropocentric cultural assumptions of the vegetal world. As humanity begins to grapple with the urgency imposed by climate change, reconsidering human/plant relationships becomes essential to grant a sustainable future on this planet. It is in this context that a multifaceted approach to plant-life can reveal the importance of ecological interconnectedness and lead to a more nuanced consideration of the variety of living organisms and ecosystems with which we share the planet. In Botanical Speculations, researchers, artists, art historians, and activists collaboratively map the uncharted territories of new forms of botanical knowledge. This book emerges from a symposium held at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago in September 2017, and capitalizes on contemporary art’s ability to productively unhinge scientific theories and certainties in order to help us reconsider unquestioned beliefs about this living world.
The New [new] Corpse
Literary Nonfiction. Poetry. Art. Film. Ecology. THE NEW [NEW] CORPSE explores current representations of the body in which the human figure appears fragmented, distorted, or emphatically absent in a carefully curated selection of poetry, translation, essays, and exhibition documentation.

It is produced in conjunction with a group exhibition of the same name. Contributiors include Antibody Corporation, Rebecca Beachy, �rik B...
