Filipinos in Chicago
The pictorial history of Filipino immigration to Chicago encompasses 100 years, moving from the Philippines to this country of unknown landscapes and uncertainties.

They were mostly pensionados-government-supported students-and self-supported students who settled in the Garfield Park, Hyde Park, and Near North Side neighborhoods of Chicago. From the close of World War II to the present day, the Filipino American population became the largest urban group of Asians in Chicago Through the medium of historic photographs, this book captures the evolution of the Filipino community of Chicago from the early 1900s to the present day.

Gary Hill
"Time, this is what is central to video, it is not seeing as its etymological roots imply. Video's intrinsic principle is feedback." -- Gary Hill (From "Inter-view") For more than twenty years Gary Hill has been at the cutting edge of video, often setting the terms for its development and pointing it in new, exciting directions. Since the mid-eighties, Hill has established himself as one of the major voices in the medium. His work has been the focus of major exhibitions and retrospectives at museums in Europe and the United States, including the Guggenheim Museum in Soho, the Whitney Biennial, and the Lyon Museum in France. He has received numerous awards, including the coveted MacArthur Awa...
Wax World
Poetry. In Mittenthal's work, it's the idea of comedy in an explosion of craft that catches you. He's quiet about it. He understands it will adhere--and it's designed to--to linger. There's almost a battle going on--an intellect that exists only to be destroyed by itself so that all that was is as it was--only clearer. And his sound sounds the most sounded out a boxer squaring off to take on the psychology of currency and its effects on labor. Not political OR only political. A clarity and honest posture mixed with poignant sarcasm about how the world sees itself. It's about seeing inequality. 'Paid to forget, I recall more'--Nico Vassilakis.
Incapacity
Poetry. Jeanne Heuving is a writer and critic whose cross genre work seeks to engage oblique aspects of existence and to alter conventional understanding. An exploration of being and sex, excitement and inscription, INCAPACITY engages a terrain where lush and exacting scenes fall into dereliction and disrepair. "Engaging the potential of post-patriarchal narrative and subjectivity, yet inside women's dilemmas in our time, Jeanne Heuving writes a saturated, paradoxical, pensive, and intense book on transformative seismic events and on misty envelopments that link inside and out like moebius loop"--Rachel Blau Duplessis.
The Nickelodeon '90s
There is an entire generation that grew up on Nickelodeon. The network started to get its footing in the '80s and in the '90s became the defining voice in entertainment for kids. For the first time ever, in this book, the entire expanse of '90s Nickelodeon has been collected in one place. A mix of personal reflection and media criticism, it delves into the history of each show with humor and insight. It revisits shows such as Rugrats, Clarissa Explains It All, and Legends of the Hidden Temple, one by one. More than an act of nostalgia, this book looks critically at the '90s Nick catalog, covering the good, the bad, and the weird.
