Intelligence
Published to accompany exhibition at Tate Britain, 6 July - 24 September 2000.
Stim
Around one in one hundred people in the UK are autistic, and the saying goes that if you've met one autistic person, you've met one autistic person. Autistic people's personalities, differences and experiences outweigh the diagnostic criteria that link them, yet stereotypes persist and continue to inform a fundamental misunderstanding of what it is to be autistic. Rarely do autistic people get a chance to speak for themselves, but this insightful and eye-opening collection of essays, fiction and visual art showcases the immense talents of eighteen of the world's most exciting autistic writers and artists. Stim invites the reader into the lives and minds of the contributors, and asks them to recognise the challenges of being autistic in a non-autistic world. Inspired by a desire to place the conversation around autism back into autistic hands, editor Lizzie Huxley-Jones has brought together humorous, honest and hopeful pieces that explore the many facets of being autistic.
Underdogs
One million cloned soldiers. A nation imprisoned. A group of neurodiverse rebels fighting back. Britain as we know it lies destroyed. In the aftermath of the most daring military coup in history, the surviving population is crammed inside giant Citadels, watched over by an army of cloned soldiers. The hope of a nation lies in a tiny number of freedom fighters hidden in the abandoned countryside – most of whom are teenagers who escaped the attack on their special school. Seen by many as no more than misfits and ‘problem children’, this band of fighters could never have imagined the responsibility that now rests on their shoulders. But perhaps this war needs a different kind of hero. After a lifetime of being defined by their weaknesses, the teenagers must learn how to play to their strengths, and become the best they can be in a world that has never been on their side.
Image and Idol
"In the Duveen Galleries for the opening of the Centenary Development at Tate Britain, the exhibition includes twenty-three works from the twelfth to the sixteenth centuries, borrowed predominantly from churches across England and Wales. In two essays Deacon and Lindley discuss the sculpture - which once inspired passionate devotion, intense disapproval and even physical violence - from their own distinct perspectives. In 'New Bases For Old Sculpture', Deacon discusses his points of reference for the selection and installation, highlighting the formal aspects of the sculpture. In a three-part essay, Lindley covers the religious Reformation of the sixteenth century, focusing in particular on iconoclasm, and provides a detailed analysis of the individual works selected. The book is illustrated throughout with colour photographs of Deacon's installation, which signals a departure from the conventions of museum display."--Jacket.

Surely the ways we invest in our romantic relationships should be reflected in the price. But how? Is the mixtape from your first love worth more than the vintage typewriter from a philanderer? Does sitting on an X-Acto knife wedged between seats on a bus to see the boyfriend you lost your virginity to increase or decrease the value of the necklace he gave you? Should you be comp...
