"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!" --

A beautifully written and moving story about the power of tradition and the importance of women's stories. The Bonnet, the first work of prose by Slovak poet Katarína Kucbelová, 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 Sumiac 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.

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, Mike Watt, Bibbe Hanson and more.

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.

Der Angelhaken leitet seine Form von seiner praktischen Absicht ab - einen Fisch zu fangen. Aber in Kulturen, in denen das Fischen eine Haupterwerbsquelle ist und schon immer war, wird die Herstellung von Angelhaken zu einer Kunst.

Doorways come in every size, shape, and configuration. In Mexico add, every color combination! Doors dating back centuries or those made yesterday are likely to be eye-popping on some level or another. Turning such doorways into works of art was an easy and enjoyable task.Las puertas pueden ser de cualquier tamaño, forma y configuración. En México, además, ¡pueden ser de todas las combinaciones de colores! Las puertas que se remontan a siglos atrás o las que se fabricaron ayer son probablemente llamativas en un nivel u otro.

"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"--
