Read My Lips: Political Advertisement 1952–2024, by Muntadas & Reese
POLITICAL ADVERTISEMENT is a 40-year-long video project by Antoni Muntadas and Marshall Reese. Every four years, coinciding with the U.S. presidential elections since 1984, Muntadas and Reese compile and update their anthology, tracing the history of political advertising from its origins in 1952 to the present.
The campaign spots are shown without commentary. The latest version debuts one week before election day. In 2020, during the pandemic, the artists streamed their 10th version on the East and West coasts in conversation with curators and political scientists over Zoom.
The phrase “Read My Lips,” the title of this collection, is taken from George H. W. Bush’s acceptance speech at the 1988 Republican Convention, which Bill Clinton’s campaign appropriated in a campaign ad in 1992. Read My Lips is edited from talks* with Bill Horrigan, Chief Curator, The Wexner Center, Rick Prelinger, filmmaker and founder of The Prelinger Archives,...

War of Dreams: A Field Guide to DIY PsyOps, by Jason Rodgers
“I am interested in ideas that don’t fit…
The limitations of an alien reality must be smashed.
It isn’t important to reach the masses, instead we want a growing lunatic fringe, schizoid anarchs who are uncontrollable and irresistible.”

After the Holocene Planetary Politics For Commoners, by Gene Ray
Capitalist modernity has ended the Holocene. The epoch of planetary
heating and climate chaos has begun. Business-as-usual is
leading to hothouse earth and mass extinction, but how to pull the
emergency brake on the extraction and techno-acceleration regime?
Alternatives exist, but the capitalist classes are blocking them. This
book argues that one such alternative, commoning, offers first steps
on a pathway to metabolic sanity and collective self-rescue. As the
mutualist and more-than-human association of direct producers,
commons ecologies will be a necessary and buildable factor in the
strategic struggle to disarm, power down and abolish capitalism.ISBN:9781570274244 226pp. 5.5”x8.5” $19.95

In the Beginning: Essay-Poems and Others, by Kirkpatrick Sale
In this ground-breaking book, Kirkpatrick Sale, the author of sixteen previous books of prose, explores a new artform: the essay-poem. Selecting key sections from his various books, Sale has turned them into poems in iambic pentameter, verses that retain the original insights but which are here presented in a smooth and rhythmical form. Also included are some new and uncollected standard poems.
“Kirkpatrick Sale is one of those writers whose pen will always set the imaginaton alight regardless of his topic.” — Fourth World Review
“The author’s lucid, rigorous prose is a delight, whether he is narrating perilous passages… or steering us through the hazards of learned disputes.” — The New Yorker
“His topics of concern are broad and expansive, just as they always bring the reader back to basic valuing of community, nature and sustainability. Honest, forthright, and so clear in his perception that you can’t help but be affected by them.” — Chellis Glendinning
“Sale is an invaluable guide and teacher.” — The Economist
“If it’s radical and leading edge,...
