F.R.DAVID Summer 2019 - Recto Verso
Isbn 9780995713390
Publisher Uh Books / Kw Institute
Idea code 19385
€ 10.40
The eighteenth issue of ‘F.R. DAVID’ is edited by Will Holder and had its beginnings in prosody, the measure of language, geometry, and a notion of imagist transcription. A two-dimensional exercise, it turns out, on paper. Words were tuned out in favour of the volume of values our bodies exchanged. This issue’s diverse contents centre around the non-verbal, the insinuated, the reverse-side of the image, the backside, and perhaps even the next page. With contributions by Simone Weil, Marcel Proust, Will Holder, Anna Daučíková, Yvonne Rainer, Jesse Birch, Paola Grassi, David Lang, Péter Dobai, John Yau, Clare Noonan, and others.

Stephen Sutcliffe Much Obliged
Isbn 9781906012816
Publisher Book Works
Idea code 19532
€ 18.10
‘This book is called Much Obliged for two reasons. The first is that it is what Stephen’s dad says when he has been served in shops. The second is because Stephen has noticed that he only does things to stop himself letting people down.’ Joe Brainard’s I Remember is the inspiration for Stephen Sutcliffe’s similarly constructed assemblage of loosely connected reminiscences, each containing a reference to ‘Stephen’. John Ashberry described Brainard’s writing as ‘humane smut’, and, drawing on the comedy of childhood, experience of work, and school friends, as well as family snapshots and Stephen’s own collages, Much Obliged finds a similar tone, firmly rooted class, challenge to authority, self-doubt and self-deprecation.

Sad Sack: Sophia Al-Maria Collected Writing
Isbn 9781906012823
Publisher Book Works
Idea code 19262
€ 24.90
'Sad Sack' is a book of collected writing by Sophia Al-Maria, taking feminist inspiration from Ursula K. Le Guin’s 1986 essay ‘The Carrier Bag Theory of Fiction’; opposing ‘the linear, progressive, Time’s-(killing)-arrow mode of the Techno-Heroic. Encompassing more than a decade of work, 'Sad Sack' tracks Al-Maria’s speculative journey as a writer, from the first seed of her "premature" memoir, through the coining and subsequent critique of ‘Gulf Futurism’, towards experiments in gathering, containing, welling up, and sucking dry. Sophia Al-Maria is an artist and writer living in London.

All The Poems Contained Within Will Mean Everything To Everyone
Isbn 9781912722037
Publisher Rough Trade Books
Idea code
€ 10.00
This is the story of one man's dream to edit a groundbreaking contemporary poetry anthology, of how that dream was actually a lot of work, what with reading many bad poems and also competent ones and handwriting rejection letters and using his wife's family money to pay postage and production costs, all while trying to bounce his newborn son to sleep. It is the story of the epiphanies that come with extreme tiredness: that maybe, just maybe, the greatest poetry book of all is one that contains no poems.

Germ Songs
Isbn 9781912722266
Publisher Rough Trade Books
Idea code 19366
€ 10.00
Germ Songs is a collaborative work by illustrator Jess White and poet Will Burns. These poems and drawings take their shape from the land, utilising both artists’ interest in the natural world and the questions that close observation ask of us as human beings living through the landscape and flora that surround us. They also raise questions about access to these spaces, about property, ownership, boundaries, and how these ideas have played out through history. These themes echo ideas that have resonated with both White and Burns in the work of William Morris—the nature of beauty, hard-won love, the importance of the natural world, and the influence of a northern European literary tradition, but asking what all this might mean today.

To Run Wild In It: A Handbook Of Autonomic Tarot
Isbn 9781912722006
Publisher Rough Trade Books
Idea code 19367
€ 10.00
'To Run Wild In It' is a book about tarot, an experimental novella, a "channelled" text and an extension of ideas first broached in David Keenan’s acclaimed debut novel, 'This Is Memorial Device'. Taking the maxim that the best way to understand the tarot is to create your own, Keenan has reimagined the deck as the unfolding of parallel stories alive with uncanny oracular detail. In collaboration with the artist Sophy Hollington, the pair have also created an accompanying deck that, while still having an umbilical to the card’s archaic roots, future-visions it as a glam-punk portal deep into the Now.

Idea code

After getting a retweet from American comedian Rob Delaney regarding his own fart joke (something Rob Delaney may well not remember) Babak Ganjei woke up to find a number of film producers from Los Angeles following him. Sensing an opportunity somewhere, anywhere, over the next five years Babak used Twitter to pitch film ideas, sadly to no avail. While ill and housebound Babak started to write them down in analogue form and discovered an audience waiting for his films. In Film Ideas, artist Babak Ganjei presents his hallucinatory set of film pitches as both a comic lampoon of Hollywood tropes and a classic example of outsider-self-expression.

The developed method is also highly suited to artistic research at academies of art, music, film, and dance.

Lost in Media: Migrant Perspectives and the Public Sphere
Isbn 9789492095688
Publisher Valiz
Idea code 19338
€ 19.90
Nine essays by a range of writers, artists, and journalists formulate critical responses to the representations of migrants in the media in Europe. The book’s starting point is the assertion that migrants have entered European countries, but not the public sphere. When they do, it is as characters in narratives as something ‘other’. They are spoken about, but rarely asked; decided for, but rarely involved. The book posits that if migrants and refugees are to become fully recognised citizens of Europe, they need to be participants in – rather than subjects of – the public debate. With contributions by Tania Bruguera, Moha Gerehou, Nesrine Malik, Daniel Trilling, and others.

Research is of paramount importance as a fundamental basis for everything that museums do. This finely presented publication engages with the diverse viewpoints of authors in the vanguard of theoretical discussions and curatorial practices, mapping out the multiplicity of endeavours to reform and transform research in relation to the art museum. From new theoretical models and specific forms of practice-based investigation and knowledge production, to the potential for change by the very dynamics of research, it shows that the concept of the curatorial is constantly shifting. With contributions by Pascal Gielen, Margriet Schavemaker, Simon Sheikh, Beck Jee-sook, and more.

To Mind Is To Care

Publisher V2
Idea code 19297
€ 19.50
Care provides a foundation for modernity that is not characterised by new beginnings and an opposition to nature, but by a humble and curious curation of what already or still exists. It is as much a matter of design and economics as of politics and administration. This book proposes ethico-aesthetical models of care in which science does not search for deterministic outcomes, technology does not lead to abandonment, politics does not induce indifference, and art is not marginalised. Included are contributions by Michael Marder, Driessens & Verstappen, Frank Pasquale, Jeannette Pols, Bernard Stiegler, Maria Puig de la Bellacasa, Frederiek Bennema, and others.
