Book Description
Since 2007, artists Jonah Freeman (born 1975) and Justin Lowe (born 1976) have collaborated to create mazelike immersive installations. This is the very first monograph on the duo, printed in conjunction with their exhibition at Glenn Horowitz Bookseller in East Hampton. This profusely illustrated volume--printed with full-bleed, double-page spreads and a gorgeous clothbound spine--spans their initial collaboration in Marfa, Texas, to their latest installation at Art Basel Unlimited. Working in simulation, the two create interiors, almost set pieces, in which attention is paid to each detail; viewers enter and explore environments filled with found objects and imaginary products that create fantastical, fictitious worlds of counterculture. With texts by Ali Subotnick, Glenn O'Brien, Mark Flood, Gianni Jetzer, Hamilton Morris and Jan Tumlir, this substantial hardback is a tribute to the psychedelic work of Freeman and Lowe.

Book Description
This publication is an exhibit catalogue, published in conjunction with the Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth's presentation of "Freeman + Lowe: Sunset Corridor," a multi-room immersive installation by the artist duo Jonah Freeman and Justin Lowe, on view from October 4, 2024, through January 5, 2025.Sunset Corridor is the fourteenth and latest chapter in Freeman and Lowe's series of expansive architectural installations. The exhibition continues the artists' deep dive into their fictional San San Universe, a domain partially based on a mid-twentieth-century futurist theory put forth in Herman Kahn's 1967 book The Year 2000. Kahn speculated that by the turn of the twenty-first century, San Diego and San Francisco would merge into one giant metropolis. Although this never came to pass, the theory is foundational to Freeman and Lowe's creation: an adjacent world that parallels modern-day reality and examines, critiques, and illuminates our society's relationships to technology, music, drugs, subcultures, and politics. Sunset Corridor is the third installment within a recent subsection of San San to investigate The Smile, an information technology rampant within this universe. Comprised of six architectural zones and a video room, each space within Sunset Corridor tells a distinct story and supports a metanarrative about a transient youth culture. This fictional subculture takes over buildings owned by International Business Machine, better known as IBM, to hack The Smile's technological framework and produce an underground music culture to subvert mainstream life. By layering an alternate reality with references to real countercultures, historical and imagined narratives, technological inventions, urbanism, and the music industry, Freeman and Lowe create works replete with opportunities for critical examination of modern society.

Book Description
Why has music so often served as an accomplice to transcendent expressions of gender? Why did the query "is he musical?" become code, in the twentieth century, for "is he gay?" Why is music so inherently queer? For Sasha Geffen, the answers lie, in part, in music’s intrinsic quality of subliminal expression, which, through paradox and contradiction, allows rigid gender roles to fall away in a sensual and ambiguous exchange between performer and listener. Glitter Up the Dark traces the history of this gender fluidity in pop music from the early twentieth century to the present day. Starting with early blues and the Beatles and continuing with performers such as David Bowie, Prince, Missy Elliot, and Frank Ocean, Geffen explores how artists have used music, fashion, language, and technology to break out of the confines mandated by gender essentialism and establish the voice as the primary expression of gender transgression. From glam rock and punk to disco, techno, and hip-hop, music helped set the stage for today’s conversations about trans rights and recognition of nonbinary and third-gender identities. Glitter Up the Dark takes a long look back at the path that led here.

Book Description
What has been on artists' and creatives' minds during the Covid-19 pandemic and the waves of quarantine orders that have washed over the planet? That has been the question animating the initiative STILL HERE: Moments in Isolation. Since March 2020, co-curators Roya Sachs and Mafalda Millies, alongside producer Lizzie Edelman, have invited prominent denizens in the worlds of art and culture to submit a still life image with an accompanying text, or thought, sharing their experience. Originally conceived as a digital campaign the project in collaboration with DISTANZ is now spanning across six continents. STILL HERE is rooted in the still life, with its iconic depictions of inanimate objects, finding 'beauty' in banality. The book presents a selection of one hundred submissions for the project and illustrates that, despite the current restrictions, a profound sense of community and creativity is still alive and pulsing in the private spaces of many. With contributions by the artists such as Monica Bonvicini, Tosh Basco fka Boychild, Katherine Bernhardt, Simon Denny, Marcel Dzama, Issy Wood, Shirin Neshat, Adam Pendleton, Laure Prouvost, Wolfgang Tillmans, Raphaela Vogel, Paul Mpagi Sepuya, among many more, alongside authors such as Chris Kraus, ballet dancer David Hallberg, neuroscientist Mendel Kaelen, auctioneer Simon de Pury and sexual anthropologist Betony Vernon. An essay by the art critic Jennifer Higgie relates personal encounters with iconic still lifes to sketch the genre's history from antiquity to the present. Each book includes a bookmark with a custom scent attached to it, developed by renowned olfactory artist and smell researcher Sissel Tolaas. The visual diary will also come to life through a selection of commissioned augmented reality videos and sound pieces using the DISTANZ App.

Book Description
With a growing reputation as a visual artist, indie-rock star Devendra Banhart moves as effortlessly between genres as he does between musical instruments. In fact, Banhart trained as a visual artist before making a name in the music world. He draws daily and creates the illustrations for his albums and this book reveals that his visual creations are as sophisticated as his music, and worthy of attention. Banhart draws inspiration from artists such as Henry Darger, Paul Klee and Cy Twombly, but his work clearly reflects a 21st century aesthetic that is at once self-effacing and sharp-witted. Featuring a cross-section of his best work from the last decade, this collection is presented as a kind of "ideas book" - including Banhart's own commentary and musings as well as photographs and other ephemera, an essay by renowned art dealer Jeffrey Deitch and an interview with curator Diego Cortez. The result is a multi-dimensional portrait of a talented artist and an exciting glimpse into his creative process. AUTHOR: Devendra Banhart is a Venezuelan-American singer-songwriter and visual artist. He studied at the San Francisco Art Institute before pursuing a career in music. He has exhibited at a number of solo and group shows worldwide. He lives in New York. 210 illustrations

Book Description
A long-overdue survey of an essential West Coast artist whose humorous works delve into America’s underbelly and evolving counterculture. Over the past thirty years, Jim Shaw has become one of America’s most visionary artists, moving between painting, sculpture, and drawings, while building connections between his own psyche and the larger political, social, and spiritual history of America. Shaw’s imagery is mined from comic books, record covers, conspiracy magazines, obscure religious pamphlets, and other cultural refuse to produce a portrait of the American subconscious out of his personal obsessions. Shaw, along with fellow Michigan native Mike Kelley, moved to California in the 1970s to attend Cal Arts and was one of a number of notable artists to emerge from the school in the early 1980s. Shaw’s work is distinguished by rigorous formal and structural analyses of neglected forms of vernacular culture. Accompanying a major exhibition, this is the first major monograph devoted to the entirety of the artist’s unique, multifaceted career.
