'Lip' magazine was self-published by women in Melbourne from 1976 to 1984 and stood as a
lightning rod for Australian feminist artistic practice over the Women's Liberation era. The art and
ideas expressed over Lip's lifetime track with groundbreaking moves into performance, ecology,
social-engagement, and labour politics; all at an intersection with local realities. Collecting and
presenting the materials of 'Lip' for the first time since their original appearance, 'The Lip
Anthology', edited by Vivian Ziherl, privileges the range and dynamism of contesting feminisms

Hans Gremmen - Lookout Point, The Grand Canyon Of The Yellowstone

Fw 2018 ISBN 9789490119683 Acqn 28998
Pb 22x28cm 16pp col ills £11.25

Historically speaking, Moran Point in Yellowstone National Park is one of the earliest locations to
be widely recognised as a scenic viewpoint. It is named after the American painter Thomas
Moran, whose masterpiece 'The Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone' was inspired by this stunning
vista. In this book, Hans Gremmen explores what happens if different perspectives and stories
are used over time and rendered into a new reality. The centrepiece of this visual research is a
series of nine oil paintings that were created in recent years by Chinese painters who copied
each other's work. In doing so, a new version of Moran's famous painting emerged.

course the citizens themselves. Trade flourishes and supplies the Netherlands with goods from all
over the world. Including more than one 150 highlights from the Rijksmuseum's collection, this
publication paints a picture of the glory of the Golden Age.

Chihiro Mori - Omoide In My Head

Torch Press 2018 ISBN 9784907562113 Acqn 28613
Pb 19x26cm 108pp col ills £29.95

For Chihiro Mori, the world is an endlessly chaotic place filled with wonder and contradiction. With
her critical view of mainstream society, the artist turns inward, exploring dreamlike visions fraught
with self-doubt and scepticism toward institutions of power, authority, and indoctrination. Taking
fragments of urban life as its building blocks, her work incorporates signs and symbols from our
daily lives and the darker visions from our sleepless nights. Her paintings, drawings, and
sculptures enlist surrealist techniques to blur the line between nightmare and reality, yet remind
us to embrace the absurd, the irrational, and the nonsensical as a means to make sense of life's
inconvenient truths.

Sae Honda - Everybody Needs A Rock

Torch Press 2018 ISBN 9784907562137 Acqn 28658
Pb 11x15cm 156pp col ills £36.50

Sae Honda is an Amsterdam-based jeweller who collects plastic rubbish on the street and melts it
down into a unique, artificial rock. She observes the qualities of each rock and then cuts and
polishes them to create plastic gemstones. The inspiration for the project was sparked by a new
kind of rock discovered in Hawaii, which contains plastic fragments. It is said that the rock cannot
erode, but will remain in the ground until perhaps future generations discover it, like some kind of
precious stone. Honda's imagination took this a step further, leading her to create rocks that
contain memories of today. This book presents her collection of self-made rocks and the stories
behind each.

B.frank Books 2018 ISBN 9783906217055 Acqn 28985
Pb 20x26cm 72pp col ills £33

Jenny Rova follows on her biographical photobook, 'A self-portrait through the eyes of my lovers',
with 'I would also like to be', in which she imagines herself in the position of her ex-boyfriend's
new girlfriend by superimposing herself on their life together, portrayed in photographs she
downloaded from Facebook. Rova jealously places herself in the new girlfriend's position,
imitating her pose, expression, and clothes, and photographs herself in the same light, all in order
to glue her own picture onto the original, covering the girlfriend. In taking the new girlfriend's
place, she is able to briefly see herself as being a part of her ex-love's life once again, and
imagine how it would be to be her.

Pb 13x23cm 96pp 44ills 24col £16

This publication accompanies the eponymous exhibition project by artist Jonas Staal that offers
an overview of the artistic, cultural, and political work of Stephen K. Bannon, best known as
campaign manager and advisor for US President Donald Trump. Less well known is Bannon's
work as a filmmaker. Between 2004 and 2016 he directed nine documentary films in a style he
has termed "kinetic cinema". Together they sketch a grim profile of a world on the brink of
disaster, beset by economic crisis, secular hedonism, and Islamic fundamentalism. The book
deconstructs the mechanisms of propaganda, showing how Trumpism was decades in the
making through Bannon's work.

Hyung-Min Yoon - Black Book

Information Office/ Vancouver 2018 ISBN 9781988860015 Acqn 29033
Hb 17x24cm 80pp col ills £33

Korean artist Hyung-Min Yoon borrows illustrations from a 15th-century Confucian text, a
woodblock print first published as part of an effort to disseminate the philosopher's principles
throughout the Korean kingdom. The book was subsequently restructured and reprinted
numerous times during the years of the Joseon dynasty. The majority of the images appropriated
for 'Black Book' are from a volume called "Virtuous Women". Yoon juxtaposes them with a
healthy dose of black humour in the form of jokes, witticisms, and funny stories collected from
various online sources, literary texts, or by word of mouth, either unaltered or edited to invoke a
more contemporary context.

Yoshitomo Nara - For Better Or Worse

Toyota Municipal Museum of Art 2017 no ISBN Acqn 29107
Pb 29x29cm 96pp 180col ills £25

Nara's artworks have a sincerity that resonates with viewers regardless of their culture, social
background, age or gender. They are poignant yet psychologically charged meditations on
solitude and memory. By evoking universally shared emotions and experiences, Nara allows
viewers to relate to his work on a deeply personal level.

From the late 1980s, Nara spent a decade based in Dusseldorf and Cologne, Germany, where he
developed his artistic language-figurative images drawn from memories and the profound solitude
he felt during his childhood in northern Japan. Early on, his practice was characterized by bold
compositions, be it in richly layered paintings on canvas, spontaneous and emotionally direct
drawings, or installations of found objects. From the mid-1990s, Nara gained increasing
recognition, establishing himself not only in the international art world but also in the broader pop
cultural consciousness. Since the 2000s, he has further refined his compositions to depict figures
that gaze directly at the viewer. These paintings have an almost translucent quality-a radiance
that lingers in the mind.
