Featuring original paintings, drawings, sculptures, and more-as well as quotes from and stories about the artists-this collection invites readers to reexamine their perceptions about disability, justice, and the beauty of art"--

"Did you know that gnome couples always have twin children? Or that a gnome is seven times as strong as a human? Do you want to hear some gossip from the gnome who knew Rembrandt? Dutch artist Rien Poortvliet's charming illustrations and physician Wil Huygen's detailed observations of the gnomes' habits, anatomy, and lifestyle are a delight for readers of all ages. Children will adore the gnome family's underground home and the constant interaction with animals; adults will appreciate the tongue-in-cheek scientific data. Gnomebody is immune to the gnomes' tremendous appeal--and a whole new generation is waiting to love them for the first time!" --

"The Bonnet, the first work of prose by Slovak poet Kataírna Kucbeloáv, defies easy pigeonholing: both political and personal, it is a work of literary reportage, a quest for one's roots, a critical exploration of folk art and, not least, social commentary on the coexistence of the Slovak majority and the Roma minority, offering a nuanced and sympathetic look at the lives of Roma people in Slovakia, and raising important questions about the nature of prejudice and discrimination. Over two years, the author made regular visits to the remote village of `umiac in Slovakia to learn the dying craft of bonnet making from one of its last practitioners, Il'ka, an elderly local woman who in the process became her mentor in more ways than one. Through the parallel stories of Il'ka and the narrator's grandmother, The Bonnet also offers a subtly feminist reading of the position of women in rural Europe from the early twentieth century to the present day."

This is a chronology of creative contributions made by Caribbean women.

In MAINTENANT 18, contemporary dada writers and artists from around the world redistribute a wealth of new ideas, to shape public opinion using the theme of PLUTOCRAZY. "Timely and relevant." -Tribe LA Magazine.  "Proof that dada is not dead." -MADJAN Magazine (Serbia)Creativity is the currency here and the amount has no limit. In nearly 250 pages of full color art and incisive writing, MAINTENANT 18 separates Merch and State by forging a non-monetary vision which exposes strategies to achieve socio-political and economic equality and serves against the military-industrialist complex linking warfare with capitalism, shining a light through every crack for "we the people." Features the work of artist and writers from around the world, including cover art by Molly Crabapple. A fascinating collection of contemporary dada art and writing from around the world that proves dada continues to be a pertinent artistic response to the madness of modern society. As author Richard Loranger (Mammal) notes: "Three Rooms Press, which has been producing Maintenant since 2008, calls this a journal, but it's more like a series of pageants, or more to the point, anti-pageants, glorious protest parades that fill the streets with punk and jazz and graffiti and wry ire, pausing before the grandstand only to burn flags, fling mirrors, and enact human realness. And what better time for it!"The Maintenant series, established in 2008, explores themes of politics, humanity, philosophy, and current concerns from an antiwar, anarchic (and often eye-opening) perspective. Past issues include work by artists Mark Kostabi, Raymond Pettibon, Joel Hubaut, Heide Hatry, Avelino de Araujo, Pawel Kuczynski, Inas Al-Soqi, Giovanni Fontana, Nicole Eisenmann, Syporca Whandal, and Kazunori Murakami; past writers have included Gerard Malanga, Charles Plymell, Andrei Codrescu, Harry E. Northup, Malik Crumpler, Maw Shein Win, and more, with a strong contingent of artist-writers from the world of punk rock, including Thurston Moore, Exene Cervenka, Alice Bag, Mike Watt, Bibbe Hanson and more. Complete list of contributors to Maintenant 18:Derek Adams, Jamika Ajalon, Youssef Alaoui, Linda J.

The first major monograph on a multifaceted self-taught artist whose work ranges from painting and sculpture to performance and sound. Lonnie Holley’s work has captivated audiences.“Lonnie Holley has held a cult status among the art cognoscenti for a long time as a visual artist and performer.”—New York Times Lonnie Holley’s widely admired practice spans painting, drawing, assemblage sculpture, and performance that combines experimental music and poetry. After decades of making art, he is now getting the recognition he richly deserves.The artist’s first sculptures were carved tombstones for his nieces who perished in a house fire in 1979. Over the following years, he devoted himself to making sculptures that populated his property near Birmingham, a large all-encompassing outdoor installation that was eventually destroyed in 1997. The artist’s work continued unabated as he began to gain recognition and exhibit his work in the South and throughout the US.In his first major monograph, every facet of his practice is explored. Holiday considers Holley’s art and music as interconnected components of the artist’s overall creative vision. Beardsley focuses on the artist’s Birmingham roots connecting the cultural firmament of that city with other major creative communities in Alabama, most notably Boykin, more popularly known as Gee’s Bend, home of the famous quilters.

Deutsch-englische Ausgabe Jean Dubuffet veränderte den Kunstbegriff des 20. Jahrhunderts als Künstler und ebenso als Theoretiker und Sammler der Art brut. Ihre Definition lieferte er 1949: "Wir verstehen darunter Werke von Personen, die von der künstlerischen Kultur unversehrt geblieben sind [...]." Zu ihnen zählen Gaston Chaissac, Louis Soutter, Adolf Wölfli, Madge Gill und Margarethe Held. Auf seinem eigenen künstlerischen Weg waren Autodidakt/-innen und gesellschaftliche Außenseiter/-innen inspirierende Katalysator/-innen; sie setzten die immense Experimentierfreude in Dubuffet frei, die für sein von antikulturellen und antiästhetischen Vorstellungen geprägtes Werk so charakteristisch ist. Das Buch präsentiert eine spezifische Auswahl an Werken aus dem umfangreichen Bestand der Sammlung Klewan. Jean Dubuffet und die Art brut - sechs künstlerische Positionen im Fokus Ausstellung: 16.09.2023-25.02.2024, Gutshaus Steglitz, Berlin

Blackwater Rising picks up where Bottom of the Ninth Ward Bulletins left off. It begins with a push to motivate others who'd been tuning into Angel Brynner's blogs across platforms into heading down to New Orleans to see where they could lend a hand with the rebuilding efforts post-hurricane. It leapfrogs over the beautiful carnage that became Cautantowwit(indian summer) and the Black Album experience that making the best of being on the run from Nyc to Montreal & Toronto to Seattle became keyed to avoiding the harassment no one knew was at the root of the launching of the AOLAB project. This is a documentation of an artist making the best of being at her wit's end, at the moment she finally decided to stop running away and instead chose to go towards, embracing the road God was letting her traverse due to the situation.
Blackwater Rising speaks to what rises up when you trouble the water so as to be healed.

A rapturous, ravenous celebration of visual art and storytelling from one of our most innovative writers and critical minds. Many know Jonathan Lethem as one of our most celebrated and eclectic writers, whose iconic novels--Motherless Brooklyn, The Fortress of Solitude, Chronic City, among many others--play with genres and storytelling modes like a DJ mixing music. But Lethem grew up in his father's studio, went to art school, and, in his own words, "made hundreds if not thousands of drawings, collages, paintings, hand-drawn comics, and even two animated shorts" before diverting, at nineteen, to prose fiction. The surreal and form-defying panoply of his stories, essays, and novels celebrates--and mourns--this forsaken world of the visual and plastic arts. That leap, between the cellophane ephemerality of language and the brick-like tangibility of visual art, which operates as a sublimated wellspring for Lethem's writing, is the subject of this book. Cellophane Bricks gathers a lifetime of Lethem's art-writing, along with stunning, full-color images from the author's own collection and elsewhere. Here we tour Lethem's fictions in response to (and in exchange for) artworks by his friends; his meditations on comics and graffiti art; his collaborations with artists and interventions into visual culture, and his portrait of the museum that was and continues to be his home, untethered from geography. More than just a compilation, Cellophane Bricks comprises a kind of stealth memoir of Jonathan Lethem's parallel life in visual culture--a ravishing assemblage that makes the perfect gift for story lovers of all kinds, and an essential, singular brick to add to your own collection.

"In an age when so much of our time is spent staring at screens, it is easy to understand why the warmth, intimacy and idiosyncrasies of hand craftsmanship should seem alluring...the term Mingei describes useful, unobtrusive, beautifully crafted objects." --Alice Rawsthorn, The New York Times The Mingei Folk Crafts movement, founded by philosopher and art historian Soetsu Yanagi and potters Hamada Shoji and Kawai Kanjiro in the early 20th century, celebrates the utilitarian designs in functional objects hand-crafted by village artisans throughout Japan. This book offers an illustrated guide to Japan's rich folk craft traditions and shows why the Mingei philosophy is even more relevant today than it was a century ago. Folk crafts have become associated with the Slow Life movement and the Wabi Sabi philosophy which values simple and imperfect items above the bright and shiny mass-produced objects of our modern culture. This book introduces 34 fascinating Japanese folk craft traditions--ranging from popular, widely-known ones to many lesser-known crafts that are equally exquisite but rarely seen. The crafts covered here include: Aizome Hand-dyed Indigo Textiles which use the leaves of the indigo plant to produce a rich, deep-blue colorBizen, the unique unglazed pottery with an earthy, rustic appearance--and simple, charming designsChochin Lanterns made of handmade washi paper stretched over a bamboo frame, found outside restaurants and temples, including the famous example at the entrance to Tokyo's Sensoji TempleEdo Furin Wind Chimes made of delicate hand-blown glass, one of the iconic symbols--and sounds--of the hot and humid Japanese summersInuharuko Papier Mache Toy Dogs, adorable pups that have acted as good-luck symbols since the Edo periodManeki Neko Beckoning Cats, one of the most popular folk crafts in Japan, with their right paw raised to bring in money and good luckTenugui Cloths, dyed using the chusen method to provide delicate color gradations and used as kitchen cloths, for wrapping or to wear as a scarf, as well as for framing since they are so beautiful!> This beautifully-illustrated book will be treasured by folk art collectors and enthusiasts worldwide. It features 400 color photographs and a comprehensive guide to buying Japanese folk crafts both inside and outside Japan.

Aber in Kulturen, in denen das Fischen eine Haupterwerbsquelle ist und schon immer war, wird die Herstellung von Angelhaken zu einer Kunst.

"It begins with sincere dedication and a cordial meeting of minds. Artists in place, at home in the shop, concentrate on their tasks, shaping clay or carving wood, weaving wool or painting canvas. Folklorists in motion, away on the road, concentrate on their tasks, watching, listening, learning. In time, differences diminish, friendships develop, and people unite in collaborative records of thought and action. Now listen to the artists of the Brazilian Northeast. Their work, they say, comes of continuity and creativity. Continuity runs along lines of learning toward social coherence. Creativity brings challenges and deep personal satisfaction. What they say and do in Brazil aligns with ethnographic evidence from throughout the world. This book is about that, about folk art as a sign of human unity. Folk Art by Henry Glassie and Pravina Shukla joins their earlier book, Sacred Art: Catholic Saints and Candomble Gods in Modern Brazil (2018), to describe the contemporary art of northeastern Brazil and exemplify a method for the study of traditional creation"--
