By Maurice Stein and Larry Miller Designed by Marshall Henrichs
Blueprint for Counter Education is one of the defining (but neglected) works of radical pedagogy of the Vietnam War era. Originally published in 1970 and integrated into the design of the Critical Studies curriculum at CalArts, the book was accompanied by large graphic posters that could serve as a portable learning environment for a new process-based model of education, and a bibliography and checklist that map patterns and relationships between radical thought and artistic practices—from the avant-gardes to postmodernism—with Marcuse and McLuhan serving as points of anchorage.
Accompanying this new facsimile edition of the book, posters, and slipcase is a 80-page book featuring a conversation with the original Blueprint authors Maurice Stein, Larry Miller, and designer Marshall Henrichs, as well as essays from Jeffrey Schnapp, Paul Cronin, and notes on the design by Adam Michaels of Project Projects.

Blueprint For Counter Education

Off the coast of East Africa in the Indian Ocean sits an archipelago known as Zanzibar. It all started ten million years ago when the island of Pemba separated from mainland Africa and then ten thousand years ago, the island of Unguja followed suit. Thus, begins the legend of Zanzibar. For centuries, Zanzibar has been the haven and gateway for explorers including Richard Burton and David Livingstone to penetrate the unknown African Continent. Forward to present day, and it is still possible to experience the unique wildlife whether that is by scuba diving off the coast of a private island, infinite lagoons, visiting mangroves or endemic wild forests; getting lost and immersing yourself into the historical labyrinthine streets of Stonetown. This cluster of islands is at a crossroads of cultures, featuring Omani architecture, Portuguese and British heritages as well as Swahili rituals. Photographer Aline Coquelle shares an intimate portrait of a community bursting with life. With original photography, a disappearing, indigenous culture is preserved and celebrated. This volume invites the reader to experience the paradise that is Zanzibar.

The Family Meal

Edited by Mia Locks. Foreword by Klaus Biesenbach. Text by Mia Locks, Samara Golden, Sarah Lehrer-Graiwer.
Los Angeles–based artist Samara Golden (born 1973) creates immersive installations that explore what she calls the sixth dimension, where a multitude of pasts, presents and futures exist concurrently. For The Flat Side of the Knife , curated by Mia Locks and organized by MoMA PS1, Golden presented her largest installation to date, filling the double height of MoMA PS1’s Duplex Gallery with staircases, beds, couches, lamps, musical instruments, video and sound. The Flat Side of the Knife combines physical spaces with illusory spaces that appear only in mirrors, akin to psychological and hallucinatory spaces in the mind. Her use of mirrors in conjunction with sculptural elements made from a silvery insulation board allows the illusion of space to expand in multiple directions. This catalog includes documentation of this exhibition alongside the artist’s major works to date.

Samara Golden: The Flat Side Of The Knife

In the late 1950s and throughout the 1960s, Kwame Brathwaite used his photography to popularize the political slogan “Black Is Beautiful.” This monograph—the first ever dedicated to Brathwaite’s remarkable career—tells the story of a key, but under-recognized, figure of the second Harlem Renaissance.

Inspired by the writings of activist and black nationalist Marcus Garvey, Brathwaite, along with his older brother, Elombe Brath, founded the African Jazz Arts Society and Studios (AJASS) and the Grandassa Models (1962). AJASS was a collective of artists, playwrights, designers, and dancers; Grandassa Models was a modeling agency for black women, founded to challenge white beauty standards. From stunning studio portraits of the Grandassa Models to behind-the-scenes images of Harlem’s artistic community, including Max Roach, Abbey Lincoln, and Miles Davis, this book offers a long-overdue exploration of Brathwaite’s life and work.

Kwame Brathwaite: Black Is Beautiful

By Camille Morineau and Lucia Pesapane
Two notions intersect in the Women House exhibition in Paris (2017) and Washington (2018): a gender (female) and a space (the domestic sphere). The exhibition and this book reflect the complexity of possible points of view on the subject, which are not only feminist but also poetic and nostalgic. Women artists turn the house inside out: a symbol of isolation becomes a symbol of the construction of identity, the intimate becomes political, private space becomes public space and the body turns into a piece of architecture. According to different contexts and generations of artists, the house becomes a body-house, a homeland-house or even a world house. With works by, among others, Helena Almeida, Monica Bonvicini, Louise Bourgeois, Heidi Bucher, Lili Dujourie, Mona Hatoum, Zanele Muholi, Lucy Orta, Martha Rosler, Cindy Sherman, Laurie Simmons, Valie Export and Rachel Whiteread.

Jim Shaw began the series of monumental paintings entitled Left Behind in 2004, when George Bush's re-election bid was in full swing. As well as being an immense tribute to painting and culture in general, this ambitious work is above all a critical diatribe against simplistic, one-dimensional discourse and the standard, reassuring rhetoric Jim Shaw sees as being conveyed in political posturing, the media, and advertising.

Essay by Vija Celmins
This volume catalogs Vija Celmins’ (born 1938) first new body of work since 2010, featuring paintings, drawings, prints and sculptures.
The Latvian-born, New York–based artist has been rendering nature imagery from black-and-white photographic sources since the 1960s, exploring the same subjects repeatedly in paintings, drawings and prints. Here, she focuses on two motifs she has employed for several decades: the ocean’s surface and the night sky. The imagery, however, is not her foremost concern: “The recognizable image is just one element to consider. The paintings seem more a record of my grappling with how to transform that image into a painting and make it alive.” This process can be seen in A Painting in Six Parts (1986–87/2012–16), a group of six oil paintings based on a photograph she took 50 years ago from a pier in Venice, California.

The Videoart At Midnight Artists' Cookbook: Eighty Artists/ Eighty Dishes

Edited by Caitlin Julia Rubin. Foreword by Luis A. Croquer. Text by John Gordon, Jennifer Wulffson Bedford, Jennie C. Jones
In 1967, for her first museum retrospective, Louise Nevelson (1899–1988) was given carte blanche to transform the Rose Art Museum at Brandeis University into an all-emcompassing, theatrical environment for her sculpture. Nevelson installed her show across the whole museum, draping the walls of the permanent collection with the colors that reflected the black, white, gold and navy palette of her works. Louise Nevelson: I Must Recompose the Environment includes previously unpublished exhibition layouts (annotated by Nevelson), installation photographs and texts that place this show in the context of Nevelson's career and the museum’s early history. This publication accompanies the now out-of-print catalog of the 1967 show organized in collaboration with the Whitney Museum and serves as a document both of the then-nascent museum and the solidifying legacy of an artistic icon.

Meet Andy Warhol — Little Andy was the tiniest and palest child of the Warholas, a humble couple from Slovakia who lived in Pittsburgh. Sketchbook glued to his hand, he loved every minute of drawing, but he was too shy to show his work to others, even to his family! As an adult he got a chance to publish his first illustration for a glamorous magazine. He turned his attention to the ordinary, like soup cans he ate from for lunch every day. He showed the world that the ordinary objects could POP, and founded a cultural movement.
This moving book features stylish and quirky illustrations and extra facts at the back , including a biographical timeline with historical photos and a detailed profile of the inspiring artist's life.

A curated collection for life lived in the in-between.

Rosa Parks Book

Ranging from figurative representation to gestural abstraction, monumental landscape paintings to more intimate portraits, the oeuvre of American painter Leidy Churchman channels his artistic and literary influences, friendships, moods, surrounding landscapes and the visual iconography of divergent religions and philosophies. Crocodile highlights the artist’s investigations into consciousness in his renderings of anthropomorphic animals and psychological states; his appropriation of existing artworks and aesthetics; and his recasting of various signs and symbols. Churchman, who divides his time between New York and Maine, emerges here as a dynamic protagonist of contemporary American painting.

New York–based artist Ulrike Müller uses abstraction as an idiom that can be figuratively appropriated, emotionally charged and politically connotative. In addition to exploring her art in varied mediums, this book features the artist’s readings of other artworks that relate to her interest in the vocabularies of abstraction and the rendering of bodies.

Artist: Jessica Fleischmann Designer: Jessica Fleischmann / still room
How does sleep—or its absence—change us? At the end of another wakeful night, High Winds tears off on a hallucinatory road trip in search of his estranged half brother, led by cryptic signs and coincidences. Part modern-day pillow book, part picture book for adults, and told in an associative, elliptical style, the narrative takes readers deep into a dreamlike Western landscape. Jessica Fleischmann’s atmospheric imagery amplifies the words on every page, referencing 1980s graphics, net art, and something yet unseen; Sylvan Oswald’s text inhabits and draws meaning from this visual environment. Gas stations, local legends, and unlikely rock formations become terrain for explorations of fear, fantasy, masculinity, medication, spatial structures, and bodily functions—inspired by the author’s experience of gender transition, insomnia, and moving to Los Angeles. Poetic and funny, surreal and beautiful— High Winds makes a delightful companion, before or instead of a good night’s sleep.

ONE National Gay & Lesbian Archives in collaboration with Artist Curated Projects (ACP) presents Stand Close, It’s Shorter Than You Think: A show on feminist rage, co-curated by Katherine Brewer Ball and RJ Messineo with work by boychild, RJ Messineo, MPA and Guadalupe Rosales. The exhibition explores the promises and pitfalls of thinking with rage as a meditation, an inspiration, a medium, and a process.
In the 1960′s and 1970′s the United States became keenly aware of itself as a domestically violent space—from the death of Martin Luther King Jr., to the Watts Riots, to the Vietnam War. This public awareness coincided with the increasing momentum of second wave feminism and other radical public protest movements. But as “militant” organizations like The Black Panthers articulated, this violence did not originate from the left, but was a reaction to larger social structures that, in their refusal of social services for example, were already enacting violence on the poor, women, and people of color. As Pamela Haag explains, feminism “questioned not whether, but how violence would happen, how the body would be (ab)used or subjectivity compromised.” If this violence against marginalized bodies is inevitable, what are the most powerful stances from which we might confront its wide unending reach?
Rage is both a re-action and an action. It is felt in response to unequal power-dynamics such as sexism, transphobia, homophobia, and racism and the accumulation of these insults over time, lifetimes, and generations. Examining the way rage shapes and is expressed in the work of contemporary queer and feminist artists, Stand Close brings together the products and the process of rage. The work in the show ranges from the more direct visual semiotics of unrest in the performance work of MPA and boychild, to abstract meditations on power and loss in the drawing and painting works of RJ Messineo and Guadalupe Rosales. boychild’s performances—which employ costume, disguise, and changeability— are archived in traces across the internet referencing the in-between forms of queer cultural production and nightlife. RJ Messineo’s body-sized abstract assembled paintings raise questions about authorship and legibility as they play on what it means to make a mark. MPA’s collection of documents from her performances and her installation in the archive propose experiments in direct action, in meditation, and in the speculative alterations of power and framing. Guadalupe Rosales’ photographs, sculptures and meticulous hand-drawn geometric shapes limn relationships between mourning and rage in the return home.

Stand Close is curated by Katherine Brewer Ball and RJ Messineo as part of Artist Curated Projects (ACP) at ONE National Gay & Lesbian Archives. Support for the exhibition Stand Close is provided by the independent 501-c3 ONE Archives. Support for the exhibition publication is provided by the USC Libraries.

In the two related bodies of work that form this volume’s centerpiece, Zoe Leonard poses fundamental questions about the medium of photography and the nature of sight. In a series of large-scale installations sited in the United States and Europe, the artist has employed the principal of the camera obscura, pairing it with silver-gelatin photographs of the sun. The image in Leonard’s room-size camera obscuras is immersive and continuous, shifting constantly in response to the fleeting light of the outside world and unraveling in the surrounding space to come into its full vibrancy. This title explores this body of work in depth through photographs that document these installations in five international cities.

The man was set up in a tent, serving ceviche, and scoring perfect, uncrowded waves. Along the way, Brodie met some cherished characters and took a bunch of photos, as he is one to do.

Puro Silencio By Marcel Alcalá

Rachelle Rojany’s Yearsbooks is a series of artist books that reflect on the medieval illuminated manuscript, in particular, the devotional book of hours. Wedded to the high-school yearbook, a present-day record and commemoration of time, the Yearsbooks illuminate memory’s restlessness, porousness, and its relationship to self-understanding. The first in the series, at 81⁄2 x 11 inches and one-half inch thick, is a bound, yellow- spined collection of 76 favorite pictures faded to 10% opacity. Personal pictures of work, family and friends are interwoven with images culled from Rojany’s research, creating a dream-like narrative. What emerges over the pages is a loose impression of Rojany’s presence, like the lines of Sappho’s poetry discovered wrapped around an Egyptian mummy.
The Yearsbooks provide a new format for creating visual autobiography, full of jumped tracks, crossed synapses, memory and fantasy. Readers are encouraged to use the book as a notebook, writing and sketching on top of its faded pages. Like a computer’s desktop image, those pages become a backdrop to the reader’s working memory. Rojany’s self-portrait recedes underthe jotted notes and sketches of the reader, entangling authorship, background, and foreground.
Informed by the river of ever-present time in Herman Hesse’s Siddhartha, the Yearsbooks address the permeability of self and the impossibility of seizing time. It is a prayer for interwoven existence inspired by Thich Nhat Hanh’s conception of “inter-being,” simply that all of the material world is interconnected.

Published in conjunction with Ulrike Müller’s contribution for the 12th International Cairo Biennale (2010), this book takes as its subjects the drawings, paintings, and quilts the artist has produced since 2006, from the Curiosity drawings, which mark the beginning of Müller's engagement with modernism’s visual strategies, to Franza, her latest group of enamel paintings developed for the Cairo Biennale. Transcending conventional binaries, such as the division of abstract forms and representational logic, these works charge seemingly neutral abstract and diagrammatic imagery with psychology and sexual politics. Shaped by her understandings of feminist art and institutional critique, they rekindle the avant-garde desire to tie aesthetic production to a tangible, concrete experience of life.
