Sub Pop Cult The New Reiteration is the companion book to the SubPopCult Podcast. This book gives readers and independent artists a deeper understanding of how corporations create all culture, which in turn creates human data that is used by governments to draft policy. This makes the policy irreversible and the political class immune to opposition. Restoration Americana begins with independent artists using their gifts to retell America's story in a true light, far from corporate influence and political divisions.

In Making Art in Prison: Survival and Resistance, Janie Paul introduces readers to the culture and aesthetics of prison art communities, and shares heart wrenching, poignant, and often surprisingly humorous artists’ narratives. The United States is the most incarcerating nation in the world. More than two million people are locked behind bars, where they endure the degradation and violence of a dehumanizing system. But in prisons around the country, incarcerated people have regained their dignity by creating objects of beauty, meaning, and value. These powerful stories and images upend the manufactured stereotypes of those living in prison, imparting a real human dimension—a critical step in the movement to end mass incarceration.  For 27 years, Paul has traveled throughout Michigan to meet artists and select work for the project she co-founded: The Annual Exhibitions of Artists in Michigan Prisons, an initiative of the Prison Creative Arts Project at the University of Michigan. Pedagogical as well as curatorial, the project has provided crucial validation for the artists. Making Prison Art features over 200 images of their extraordinary work.  Delving deeply into the ways in which incarcerated artists create meaning through their artistic practice, Paul explains how the making, sharing, and formation of artistic friendships within prisons can constitute acts of resistance against the violence and banality of prison life. Most of the artists did not make art before coming to prison. Their accomplishments show that art making need not be a privilege of the few, but is rather a basic human need, and in these circumstances, a necessary means of survival. Making Art in Prison reveals—through the eyes of the artists who have lived through it—what mass incarceration looks and feels like in the United States. It reveals the ways in which they keep their humanity intact; it invites us to reflect on our own humanity and the problem of living in a country that incarcerates more of its population than any other nation in the world. It also invites us to look closely at the images and appreciate the richness of life and luminosity emerging from the darkest corner of our country.

Als Gründungsmitglied der CoBrA-Gruppe gehörte Karel Appel einer der wichtigsten europäischen Nachkriegs-Avantgarden an, als Maler der Nouvelle École de Paris feierte er in den 1950er Jahren erste Erfolge. Zwischen New York und Paris pendelnd, suchte er zeitlebens die künstlerische Konfrontation mit dem Unbekannten: ein ungewohnter Stil, ein besonderes Motiv, der Wechsel zwischen Skulptur und Malerei. Das Buch dokumentiert drei sehr verschiedene Ausstellungen mit Werken Appels, die in den Galerien Max Hetzler Berlin und London zwischen 2020 und 2022 zu sehen waren. Die jüngste Schau zeigte den Einfluss von Appels erstem Besuch in New York: Hier fand er einerseits zur Aktionsmalerei, als deren Höhepunkt sein wandfüllendes, über Nacht vor Ort gemaltes Bild für die Documenta 1964 vertreten ist, andererseits nahm er das .u.erst akademische Sujet der Aktmalerei auf ganz und gar unakademische Weise auf. Im Zentrum des Buchs steht dann eine retrospektive Auswahl des dreidimensionalen Werks von Bronze und Terracotta-Arbeiten über Objektmalereien bis zu absurd-poetischen Assemblagen karnevalistischer Fundstücke. Zuletzt kehrte Appel in überdimensionalen Zeichnungen und expressionistischen Gemälden der 1980er und '90er Jahrezum Akt-Thema zurück. So folgt das Buch drei Linien mit vielen Verzweigungen durch ein OEuvre von 60 Jahren, in dem es noch viel zu entdecken gibt.In Zusammenarbeit mit Galerie Max Hetzler Berlin | Paris | London

In 1942 Missouri Pettway, newly suffering the loss of her husband, pieced together a quilt out of his old, worn work clothes. Nearly six decades later her daughter Arlonzia Pettway, approaching eighty at the time and a seasoned quiltmaker herself, readily recalled the cover made by her grieving mother within the small African American farming community of Gee's Bend, Alabama. At once a story of grief, a quilt, and a community, 'Stitching Love and Loss' connects Missouri Pettway's cotton covering to the history of a place, its residents, and the work of mourning. Interpreting varied sources of history and memory, Lisa Gail Collins engages crucial and enduring questions, simultaneously singular and shared: What are the languages, practices, and processes of mourning? How is loss expressed and remembered? What are the roles for creativity in grief? And how might a closely crafted material object, in its conception, construction, use, and memory, serve the work of grieving a loved one? Placing this singular quilt within its historical and cultural context, Collins illuminates the perseverance and creativity of the African American women quilters in this rural Black Belt community.

A reassessment of self-taught artist William Edmondson, exploring the enduring relevance of his work

When a war ends provisionally, the agreement is called a ceasefire. But when peace ends, there is only war. War and peace are co-dependent. Perhaps it is now time for a "Peacefire."  In Maintenant 17: A Journal of Contemporary Dada Writing and Art, nearly 250 artists from more than 40 countries explore the concept of the end of both war and peace, exploring provocative outsider ideas as dada has done since its inception. With searing cover art by Uta Kaxniashvili, this issue of the renowned journal elaborates on dada's original premise as an antiwar movement. 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. Critics have praised the series since its inception. Seattle Book Review calls Maintenant, "A smorgasbord for those who are sick and tired of it." Tribe LA dubs the journal, "A compilation of leading Dada-influenced artists from around the world that is timely and relevant." Serbia's Madjan Magazine proclaims that the Maintenant series proves "Dada is not dead." The Maintenant series is archived in leading institutions worldwide, including Museum of Modern Art New York.

Self Taught is a collection of toy camera photos of Visionary Environments that Tim and his wife have been to in the last 10 years. There are also portraits that Tim has painted of their creators. The work is an expression of the spirit of DIY and creating for creation's sake. Kerr has always rejected the impulse to define art or music by categorizing it into a specific genre and throughout his music and visual art career, has preferred to color outside the lines rather than adhere to any one definition of art or, for that matter, punk. Tim Kerr is a musician and artist known for his lifelong contributions to the DIY and punk scenes, as a member of the Texas Music Hall of Fame, hailing from Austin, and for having played in The Big Boys, Poison 13, Monkeywrench, Bad Mutha Goose, Lord High Fixers, etc... Kerr is a visual artist and photographer, and currently releases music with his, and his friend Jerry Haggins, project Up Around The Sun.

PAPERBACK A5-Sized Journal: Standard A5 size (5.75 x 8.25 inches) allows for easily transporting in a handbag, backpack or tote. 144 BLANK PAGES: Perfect for drawing, taking notes or writing daily journal entries. INNER BACK POCKET: This paperback journal has a back pocket to offer a safe place to keep receipts, treasured notes or mementos. ACID-FREE PAPER: More difficult to decompose than regular paper and has a longer shelf-life. It is commonly used when someone wants to archive notes, daily journal entries or sketches for several years without the pages deteriorating or yellowing. FEATURED ART: In many traditional Minhwa (folk art paintings based on a popular folktale) the tiger symbolizes aristocratic authority and is given a somewhat silly appearance, while the dignified magpie in the pine tree symbolizes the common man. These paintings are therefore intended to be satirical in nature. They also symbolize the expulsion of bad spirits and are often hung up in the home during the Korean New Year festivities.

In an abandoned storage unit in Philadelphia, a collector discovered more than 150 works on paper by a presumably self-taught artist. The works fall into distinct groups—pencil drawings that are often sexual jokes, explicit watercolor scenes, and drawings on mimeograph paper.Clues to the identity of the artist and the timeframe in which the works were made are embedded in the materials. The ledger paper and safety protocol forms that presumably he used as a support bear the letterhead of the well-known Philadelphia chemical manufacturing company Rohm & Haas, established in 1909. A partially affixed mailing label on the back of one of the drawings gives a Philadelphia address and indicates “foreman” as the addressee. The date 1955 is written on the back of another drawing. The clothing and hairstyles depicted seem to date from the 1940s and 1950s. A search in the company’s archives turns up a staff photograph from 1931 listing numerous foremen who might be the author of this erotic cache.Almost certainly made for his own personal amusement and titillation, the Philadelphia Foreman’s erotic drawings are a rare and fascinating time capsule of American folk porn.-Excerpt from Mousse Magazine Folk Porn, Sexual Anxiety and American Masculinity: The Philadelphia Foreman by Alison M. Gingeras

The first comprehensive monograph on the paintings of Carrie Ann Baade. Showcasing approximately 100 paintings from 2002 to the present, this is a vivid exploration of Baade's investigation into surreal self-portraits. Introduction by curator Anna Wall. Art historian Susan Aberth provides insight into Baade's working method with collage. Fiction author Selena Chambers offers a guided tour of an imagined metaverse exhibition of Baade's works. Baade herself provides an enlightening view into her own creative process. Carrie Ann Baade's oil paintings dialogue with the past through complex iconography and imagery quoted from Renaissance and Baroque canvases. She constructs layered narratives that resemble fantastical parables as her compositions interlace the strange beauty in the unexpected, the uncanny, the disregarded, and the unconventional. Her compositions, feminist and autobiographical, weave personal and classical symbology into narratives on mortality, sexuality, personal transformation, and the darker side of human nature.

"This book presents decoys, old and contemporary, made by Louisiana carvers, as museum quality art rather than hunting tools. It discusses and abundantly illustrates the three basic types of decoys in full size as well as miniature versions. It has an informative chapter on hunting decoys carved by Louisiana's Old Masters that are 100 years old or more and showcases replicas in their style made by a number of Louisiana's best contemporary carvers. Additionally, it contains a chapter for novice collectors on what decoy to buy and how much to pay for it as well as an essay by Louisiana's preeminent decoy authority that offers invaluable advice to collectors of Louisiana decoys of all experience levels. This book offers convincing evidence of the artistic versatility of Louisiana's old and contemporary decoy carvers and emphasizes the existential threats to decoy carving in Louisiana, offering concrete suggestions for saving this unique and culturally important art form from extinction"--

In 2012, weavers Marty Benson and Laura Redford undertook a project to fully document each coverlet and associated weavings in the Shiloh Museum of Ozark History collection. Benson and Redford spent more than two years on the study, deciphering the physical, technical, and historic aspects of the coverlets (including homemade and professionally woven) as well as quilts and blankets with handwoven elements in the museum collection. Their work resulted in a meticulously researched body of information for the museum, but why stop there? Benson and Redford believed the stories of the Shiloh Museum coverlets needed to be told, and the museum agreed. Ozark Coverlets explores the techniques and skills of each weaver. It documents weaving patterns and structures and supplies modern weavers with drafts from which to create their own versions of these historic patterns. Finally, it is a record of the lives of the people who made and used these textiles in their homes. Read altogether, the details of each weaver's life--marriage, childbirth, farm and home management--begin to paint a picture of the lives of these "everyday" Ozark women and their families. One can begin to understand their roles in the settlement of northwest Arkansas in the 1800s, their trials during the Civil War, and the ultimate survival of these pioneering families. ­--From the foreword by Carolyn Reno, collections manager of the Shiloh Museum of Ozark History
