The Other Side
The first major work of art history to focus on women artists and their engagement with the spirit world, by the author of The Mirror and the Palette. It's not so long ago that a woman's expressed interest in other realms would have ruined her reputation, or even killed her. And yet spiritualism, in various incarnations, has influenced numerous men—including lauded modernist artists such as Wassily Kandinsky, Piet Mondrian, Kazimir Malevich and Paul Klee—without repercussion. The fact that so many radical female artists of their generation—and earlier—also drank deeply from the same spiritual well has been sorely neglected for too long. In The Other Side, we explore the lives and wor...
Hilma Af Klint
A highly anticipated biography of the enigmatic and popular Swedish painter. The Swedish painter Hilma af Klint (1862–1944) was forty-four years old when she broke with the academic tradition in which she had been trained to produce a body of radical, abstract works the likes of which had never been seen before. Today, it is widely accepted that af Klint was one of the earliest abstract academic painters in Europe. But this is only part of her story. Not only was she a working female artist, she was also an avowed clairvoyant and mystic. Like many of the artists at the turn of the twentieth century who developed some version of abstract painting, af Klint studied Theosophy, which holds tha...
Anarchist, Artist, Sufi
This book follows the life of Ivan Aguéli, the artist, anarchist, and esotericist, notable as one of the earliest Western intellectuals to convert to Islam and to explore Sufism. This book explores different aspects of his life and activities, revealing each facet of Aguéli's complex personality in its own right. It then shows how esotericism, art, and anarchism finally found their fulfillment in Sufi Islam. The authors analyze how Aguéli's life and conversion show that Islam occupied a more central place in modern European intellectual history than is generally realized. His life reflects several major modern intellectual, political, and cultural trends. This book is an important contribution to understanding how he came to Islam, the values and influences that informed his life, and-ultimately-the role he played in the modern Western reception of Islam.

Hilma Af Klint: Artist, Researcher, Medium
Once considered an outsider artist, after her show at the Guggenheim Museum was seen by more than half-a-mil-lion visitors, Hilma af Klint firmly established her place in art history. She has also been the subject of documenta-ry films and biographies. In 2013, Iris Müller-Westermann organized the first institutional exhibition of af Klint's work. Now she presents us with the latest information and research in an extensive survey show at the Moder-na Museet in Malmö. Of crucial importance is the issue of spirituality in af Klint's painting-how she managed to translate both the material and the immaterial world into a pictorial vision. The accompanying exhibition catalogue is the first to investigate, from a variety of perspectives, the question of how this trailblazing abstract artist linked her painting to a higher consciousness. Essays by leading historians of theosophy and a quantum physicist, among others, provide enlightening insight into a world in which both the visualization of atoms and spiritual séances alike became artistic material-a world that fascinates us even more than ever.

Operation Ormens huvud : kriminalroman
”Han tänker på den lilla mjuka draken som farmor sydde åt honom när han var liten. Varför lämnade han kvar den i resväskan på det där stället dit han kom med de andra barnen? Han borde ha packat med sig draken. Den är så liten, alldeles len och mjuk, tar ingen plats alls, ryms i fickan. Han hade behövt den nu.” Kinesiska barn försvinner spårlöst från flyktingförläggningar i Sverige. Kriminalinspektör Hedvig Ek vid Nationella insatsstyrkan dras in i Operation Ormens huvud, en internationell utredning kring vad som misstänks vara regelrätt slavarbete. En omfattande undercover-operation dras igång och uppdraget är att infiltrera en organisation som illegalt för in barn som svart arbetskraft från Kina till Europa. Människosmugglaren Zhou Hualong ska spåras och stoppas. Christina Wahldéns kriminalroman Operation Ormens huvud är smärtsamt aktuell – fortfarande rapporterar nyhetssändningar om barn och ungdomar som försvinner spårlöst från svenska flyktingförläggningar. Det här är i grunden inte fiktion utan en cynisk och grym verklighet i vår egen absoluta närhet som vi inte längre får blunda för.
