Where is Charles Simonds? Throughout the 1970s, his diminutive Dwellings, tiny architectural ruins of an imaginary civilization, could be found throughout the crumbling infrastructure of downtown New York. Preoccupied with the relationship between the grown and the built, the archaeological and the urban, Simonds shared friendship and ideas with Gordon Matta-Clark and Robert Smithson. Like Lucy Lippard, with whom he lived during that decade, Simonds believed in combining art and activism, always preferring what he called the "real world" to the art world. Yet despite taking part in many of the seminal exhibitions and art events of 1970s New York, Simonds has left few traces on art history. In order to explain Simondss absence while simultaneously arguing for his central place within it, Jules Pelta Feldman reconsiders the decades self-conception, finding that Simonds exemplifies much of what has been ignored in 1970s artand much of what establishes it as a unique period of experimentation and possibility.

Stopgap Measures presents an exciting selection of essays, interviews and shorter pieces on the work of American artist Mike Kelley (19542012) written over more than three decades by the noted art historian and cultural critic John C. Welchman. Kelleys provocative career gave rise to some of the most conceptually and materially diverse work of recent times in performance, writing, painting, drawing, sculpture, banners, multimedia installation, appropriated objects and images and video, as well as numereous collaborations. This volume includes reflections on specific works, and features a signature series of pathbreaking essays on Kelleys innovations in photography and writing as well as explorations of major themes in his practice, research and thinking: physical comedy and verbal humor; memory; popular culture, dress-up and Americana; the uncanny; imaginative projection and dark fantasy; appropriation and giving; authorship and self-construction; and the artists littleremarked upon negotiation with the histories of and ideas about Asia. The book concludes with new essays on Kelleys engagement with animals and the nonhuman; and on the refrain disappearances that punctuate Kelleys career set in relation to specters of social catastrophe and nuclear annihilation.

Many of us are drawn to a life in the arts but daunted by how to balance that ambition with the very real need to pay rent and put food on the table. It is impossible to become an accomplished painter, composer, or novelist without spending time experimenting, making false starts, absorbing criticism, reading, talking, and moping about the house. All this time must be purchased, one way or another. Is the history of art and ideas just a history of rich kids?The answer, of course, is no. William Carlos Williams was a family doctor. Franz Kafka was an insurance man, as were Charles Ives and Wallace Stevens. Grace Hartigan temped. James Joyce mooched off his brother; Christopher Isherwood ingratiated himself with a wealthy uncle. Virginia Woolf and Louisa May Alcott were determined to make their writing pay no matter what. And their material circumstances had an impact on all of their creative outputs.From family money to jobs to colorful schemes, Mason Currey, author of the acclaimed Daily Rituals, explores both the well-worn and unlikely paths forward for the up-and-coming artist. Making Art and Making a Living is an entertaining and thought-provoking examination of the collision of creative ambitions with real-world necessities and of the messy, glorious, torturous compromises that gifted individuals have patched together when facing the eternal dilemma of an artistic life.

Its 1977, and punk rock has just hit Liverpool. The legendary Erics club is home to the citys rebels, posers and misfits. Its a place of attitude, adventure and new possibilities, and it changes lives. Some become pop stars; Penny Kiley becomes a music journalist. The story traces Pennys relationship with the music scene from the turbulent political 1980s into the changing culture of the 21st century. Throughout these years, she never stops being a misfit, and the question remains: how do you navigate normal life when punk is dead and you dont know youre autistic? Atypical Girl begins as a coming-of-age story and ends as a midlife reinvention. What unites them is a search for identity and the role that music plays in all our lives.

CHOCANTE, HILÁRIO E BRUTALMENTE HONESTO. O ÚLTIMO LIVRO DE MEMÓRIAS DO ENCRENQUEIRO OZZY OSBOURNE"As pessoas me perguntam: se eu pudesse fazer tudo de novo, sabendo o que sabe agora, mudaria alguma coisa? Eu respondo: "No, porra". Se eu estivesse limpo e sobrio, no seria o Ozzy. Se eu tivesse feito coisas normais e sensatas, no seria o Ozzy. Olha, se acabar amanh, no posso reclamar. "Aos 69 anos, Ozzy Osbourne estava em uma turne de despedida triunfal, tocando em arenas lotadas e recebendo criticas entusiasmadas no mundo todo.Ai veio o desastre.Em poucas semanas, ele passou de um internamento hospitalar com uma infecço no dedo a ter que abandonar sua turne e toda a vida publica enfrentando uma paralisia quase total do pescoço para baixo.Pela primeira vez, Ozzy revela essa historia chocante, hilaria e surpreendentemente inspiradora. Ao longo do caminho, ele reflete sobre sua vida e carreira extraordinarias incluindo seu casamento turbulento com Sharon, seus arrependimentos pela reunio do Black Sabbath, suas amizades com Slash e Zakk Wylde e os momentos finais angustiantes que passou com Lemmy Kilmister, do Motorhead.Estas memorias - provavelmente as ultimas publicadas pelo artista - demonstram mais uma vez por que Ozzy transcendeu seu status de "O Poderoso Chefo do Metal" e "O Principe das Trevas" para se tornar um heroi folk moderno e um tesouro nacional. Ela une o tradicional humor negro de Ozzy com uma emoço comovente nunca vista antes. Ozzy no e o cara com nove vidas; ele claramente tem 27! "

Tracks: A Journey Through Metroland tells the story of Metroland and the development of suburbia that grew alongside the Metropolitan Railway. Originally the brainchild of eminent Victorians, the Metropolitan grew to become the queen of underground lines, eventually expanding to a point some fifty miles outside London. Author Kevin J. Last describes how the concept of Metroland was an aspiration for several levels of society, promising a better lifestyle well away from the deprivations of wartime. The idea that the working man could live comfortably outside the smoke in individually designed houses would mean that he could also thrive at work, largely due to the regular service offered by the new railway. This was quite exceptional in that, while nominally an underground line, most of the Mets route was above ground and, in length, went far beyond other similar lines, far out into the Buckinghamshire countryside. Not marked on any map, Metroland is as much a concept of the mind as a real place.

Por anos, eu me questionava por que algo que eu considerava extraordinário estava despercebido pelos outros. A resposta não estava no que eu fazia — mas em como eu me posicionava. Foi quando descobri

This book is the first major study of Edita Schuberts art published outside Croatia. Edita Schuberts body of work is strikingly diverse, spanning pioneering explorations of natural ecology in the 1970s to bold paintings in the spirit of the transavantgarde in the 1980s. She also created performance art on the streets of Dubrovnik and created installations that invited viewers into her world. Her later worksself-portraits of various kindsoffer profound meditations on memory, identity, and mortal- ity. Working in her studio in the Institute of Anatomy in Zagreb, she once compared her art with the practice of dissection, a precise and purposeful science which reveals the hidden territories of the human body. Often her subject was herself. The breadth of her artistic output seems to anticipate the "post-medium" condition of contemporary art. Yet when viewed together, strong lines of connection and continuity emerge, revealing a deeply intimate and single-minded vision of art.Edita Schubert (19472001) was an exceptionally prolific and inventive artist, active from the early 1970s until her untimely death at the age of 54 in 2001. A significant figure in Croatian and Yugoslav art, she exhibited at the Venice Biennale and the Biennale of Sydney and in galleries in Austria and the US, as well as frequently throughout Yugoslavia. Yet today, her art remains relatively little known.

On the planet Furaha, Gert van Dijk creates a biosphere on a new world along with its solar system. Evolution on Furaha found solutions to lifes problems that remained unused on Earth. There are in-depth accounts of habitats where marshland mixotrophs use bioluminescence to catch animals, where four-sided radial cloakfishes swim in tropical waters and where tetrapters flitter through the air, using radial flight. With over 180 stunning illustrations, this is a book that all fans of science fiction, biology and science will enjoy, and that will inspire artists to think beyond the limitations of our own planet.Major works on speculative biology are rare but Furaha is a welcome addition to the genre and gives a well-considered account of life on another planet, along with stunning illustrations. This is a must-read book, which I heartily recommend. ~ Dougal Dixon The father of speculative zoology
