Dispatches: On Trump & the Image, by David Levi Strauss
With a Foreword by Michael Taussig
One hundred short essays all written during the first year of Donald Trump’s second presidential term.
“I wish I could get all my news from David Levi Strauss’s Dispatches. Anchored by a single strong image, they are a breath of fresh air (and sometimes an arrow to the heart). Succinct, informative, and calls to action when the news is bad, which these days… it usually is.” — Lucy Lippard, legendary art critic and political activist, author of
Six Years: The Dematerialization of the Art Object, The Lure of the Local, and Undermining: A Wild Ride through Land Use, Politics, and Art in the Changing West, among many other books“David Levi Strauss has written a fiercely original book for an age in which power increasingly governs through images, spectacle,...

AnarkoArtLab, by Adrians Black and Tasha Mrzljak
AnarkoArtLab marks twenty years of artistic and political experimentation through performance, collective action, public intervention, transmedia practice, and independent publishing.
The project began in the experimental environment around Judson Church in New York City and expanded through encounters with The Living Theatre, The Theatre of the Oppressed, and ancestral forms of knowledge and transmission. Over two decades, AnarkoArtLab has brought together artists, performers, activists, and participants in a practice that moves between art and collective life, continually transforming through the people, places, and political realities that enter it.
The book traces this trajectory through photographs, documents, interviews, essays, and performance records, bringing twenty years of actions, collaborations, and artistic research into a single publication.

Third Eye: 28105 Days in the Life of Clayton Patterson, a bionovel by Istvan Kantor
Third Eye tells the life story of Lower East Side-based internationally acclaimed street artist and documentarian Clayton Patterson. He was born into a struggling working-class family in Calgary, Canada, in 1948, and as a youth he suffered from a lack of self-confidence. Through changing environments, followed by a series of illuminating experiences in the company of painter/sculptor Elsa Rensaa, they emerged into the vital milieu of the LES art community, becoming part of a new breed of artists and fronrunners of the NYC underground art scene. On Auigst 6/7, 1988, Clayton captured on video the Tompkins Square Park police riot, a long night of police brutality against peaceful protestors and passers-by. His video provided indisputable evidence that the NYPD were responsible for inciting a police riot. By confronting an authoritarian system of control with the use of a consumer video camera,...

Price: $15.00
Endnotes is a journal/book series published by a discussion group based in Germany, the UK and the US. The original group was formed in Brighton, UK in 2005 primarily from former participants in the journal Aufheben, after a critical exchange between Aufheben and the French journal Théorie Communiste. But with migration and the addition of new members the group has become increasingly international. Endnotes is primarily oriented towards conceptualising the conditions of possibility of a communist overcoming of the capitalist mode of production—and of the multiple structures of domination which pattern societies characterised by that mode of production—starting from present conditions. As such it has been concerned with debates in “communist theory”, and particularly the problematic of “communisation” which emerged from the post-68 French ultra-left; the question of gender and its abolition; the analysis of contemporary struggles, movements and political economy; the dynamics of surplus population and its effects on capital and class; capitalist formations of “race”; value-form theory and systematic dialectics;...

Critical Art Ensemble: The Artistic War Machine and the Anthropotechnical Arsenals of Revolt, by Lucas Fortunato
In the twentieth century, art fully entered the field of political and social struggle. At critical moments, movements such as futurism, dadaism, surrealism, and the situationists contributed to cultural transformations. Through manifestos, performances, interventions, and activism, the historical avant-gardes used creativity to build a true artistic war machine.
Inheriting this legacy, the Critical Art Ensemble (CAE) collective stands as a leading force in contemporary art-revolt, seeking to intervene in the public sphere through an aesthetic of disturbance. For over three decades, CAE has developed a micropolitics of creation using a variety of innovative anthropotechnics: recombinant theater, molecular interventions, utopian plagiarism, electronic civil disobedience, installations, and performances as forms of cultural activism.
Based on detailed research, this book presents historical snapshots, theoretical insights, and connections with avant-garde movements, tactical media, electronic resistance, and bioactivism.
For the first time,...
