Our Faces, Our Spaces
Our Faces, Our Spaces: Photography, Community and Representation features photographic work taken between 1977 and 1992 by children and young people who were members of Mount Pleasant Photography Workshop in Southampton. This book presents their work within the context of both a personal overview and that of a critical and theoretical position. The photographers offer a view and interpretation of their world which deals with social, cultural, religious and political connections of that period of time.

Modern Nature
In 1986 the controversial film-maker Derek Jarman discovered he was HIV positive, and decided to make a garden at his cottage on the bleak coast of Dungeness, where he also wrote these journals. Looking back over his childhood, his coming out in the 1960s and his cinema career, the book is at once a volume of autobiography, a lament for a lost generation and a celebration of homosexuality.

Eyes for Blowing Up Bridges
From Situationism to Beat to Punk, Eyes For Blowing Up Bridges unites a group of remarkable radical artists, poets, writers and activists who initiated, perpetrated and influenced a range of seminal post-war alternative movements.Presenting rarely exhibited material - including cut-ups, film, video, sound and slide, as well as self-published books, pamphlets, anarchist propaganda, punk ephemera and graphics - the exhibition and publication examine the creative interplay between William Burroughs, Guy Debord, Asger Jorn, Alexander Trocchi and King Mob, and their collective influence on Malcolm McLaren in his endeavours to disrupt the cultural and social status quo from the 1960s to his premature death in 2010.McLaren co-opted the intellectual vigour of this powerful and difficult group of individuals to make insurrectionary statements during his days as a Situationist art student in the 1960s, to the end of his life in groundbreaking artistic forays expressed through pop culture (fashion, music, environment, performance, film).Published on the occasion of the exhibition at John Hansard Gallery, University of Southampton, 26 September - 14 November 2015.

Curious Disciplines
The transnational modernist Mina Loy (1882–1966) embodied the avant-garde in many literary and artistic media. This book positions her as a theorist of the avant-garde and of what it means to be an artist. Foregrounding Loy’s critical interrogation of Futurist, Dadaist, Surrealist, and “Degenerate” artisthood, and exploring her poetic legacies today, Curious Disciplines reveals Loy’s importance in an entirely novel way. Examining the primary texts produced by those movements themselves—their manifestos, magazines, pamphlets, catalogues, and speeches—Sarah Hayden uses close readings of Loy’s poetry, prose, polemics, and unpublished writings to trace her response to how these movements wrote themselves, collectively, into being.
British Women Sculptors

Embodied Memories
Embodied Memories, a project by artist and fashion stylist Jennifer Anyan, is set in a temporary shop location in central Southampton. The exhibition showcases startling new artworks that are made to be worn. Poised between sculpture and couture, the works are based on recollections of items purchased from the city's old Tyrrell & Green department store.Developed from research undertaken with local people, Jennifer's subtle reinventions are touching, at times humorous but always respectful, and explore the distance between memory, communication and interpretation.Embodied Memories was commissioned by the John Hansard Gallery and developed through Art at the Heart, a partnership of key arts organisations in Southampton working to bring the city's emerging cultural quarter to life. Supported by Solent Research & Enterprise and CREADM.Published to accompany the exhibition, Embodied Memories by Jennifer Anyan at John Hansard Gallery 9 May 2012 – 30 June 2012.
