I Feel So Good
A major figure in American blues and folk music, Big Bill Broonzy (1903–1958) left his Arkansas Delta home after World War I, headed north, and became the leading Chicago bluesman of the 1930s. His success came as he fused traditional rural blues with the electrified sound that was beginning to emerge in Chicago. This, however, was just one step in his remarkable journey: Big Bill was constantly reinventing himself, both in reality and in his retellings of it. Bob Riesman’s groundbreaking biography tells the compelling life story of a lost figure from the annals of music history. I Feel So Good traces Big Bill’s career from his rise as a nationally prominent blues star, including his h...

Artists and the Practice of Agriculture
Artists and the Practice of Agriculture maps out examples of artistic practices that engage with the aesthetics and politics of gathering food, growing edible and medicinal plants, and interacting with non-human collaborators. In the hands of contemporary artists, farming and foraging become forms of visual and material language that convey personal and political meanings. This book provides a critical analysis of artistic practices that model alternative food systems. It presents rich academic insights as well as 16 conversations with practicing artists. The volume addresses pressing issues, such as the interconnectedness of human and other-than-human beings, the weight of industrial agriculture, the legacy of colonialism, and the promise of place-based and embodied pedagogies. Through participatory projects, the artists discussed here reflect on the links between past histories, present challenges, and future solutions for the food sovereignty of local and networked communities. The book is an easy-to-navigate resource for readers interested in food studies, visual and material cultures, contemporary art, ecocriticism, and the environmental humanities.

The Possible
The Possible is an experimental catalog/artist's book created in conjunction with an exhibition of the same name on view at the UC Berkeley Art Museum and Pacific Film Archive in the spring of 2014. Combining studio, classroom, library, gallery, and stage, The Possible offered a new model of museum exhibition. Rather than bringing together a group of existing artworks, artist/curator David Wilson hosted a convergence of over one hundred artists and collectives--with "artist" understood in the broadest sense. The BAM/PFA galleries were transformed into studios--ceramics, dye, recording, and print--as "platforms for making" that were actively used and reshaped by both guest artists and museum ...
