A small book of opaque doodles and poems.
In Art & Language International Robert Bailey reconstructs the
history of the conceptual art collective Art & Language,
situating it in a geographical context to rethink its implications
for the broader histories of contemporary art. Focusing on its
international collaborations with dozens of artists and critics in
and outside the collective between 1969 and 1977, Bailey positions
Art & Language at the center of a historical shift from
Euro-American modernism to a global contemporary art. He documents
the collective's growth and reach, from transatlantic discussions
on the nature of conceptual art and the establishment of distinct
working groups in New York and England to the collective's later
work in Australia, New Zealand, and Yugoslavia. Bailey also details
its publications, associations with political organizations, and
the internal power struggles that precipitated its breakdown.
Analyzing a wide range of artworks, texts, music, and films, he
reveals how Art & Language navigated between art worlds to
shape the international profile of conceptual art. Above all,
Bailey underscores how the group's rigorous and interdisciplinary
work provides a gateway to understanding how conceptual art
operates as a mode of thinking that exceeds the visual to shape the
philosophical, historical, and political.
With 24 original works on paper and an introductory essay by the
author, this book is a visual meditation on work-life balance in
contemporary American life.

Edited by Clemens Apprich, Josephine Berry Slater, Anthony Iles and
Oliver Lerone Schultz Felix Guattari's visionary term 'post-media',
coined in 1990, heralded a break with mass media's production of
conformity and the dawn of a new age of media from below.
Understanding how digital convergence was remaking television,
film, radio, print and telecommunications into new, hybrid forms,
he advocated the production of 'enunciative assemblages' that break
with the manufacture of normative subjectivities. In this
anthology, historical texts are brought together with newly
commissioned ones to explore the shifting ideas, speculative
horizons and practices associated with post- media. In particular,
the book seeks to explore what post- media practice might be in
light of the commodification and homogenisation of digital networks
in the age of Web 2.0, e-shopping and mass surveillance. With texts

The End of the Beginning This story starts off where many end. As I
sit in front of my computer, the thoughts of many things bounce
around my skull like a silver metallic ball in an old pinball
machine. I need to pay my back rent. I have to prepare for a
defamation trial in small claims court. I have no food in the
fridge. I'm over $20,000 dollars in the hole. My company needs a
new website. I haven't released a new record in months. I have one
solitary quarter to my name. Literally. I need my Clonazepam.
Obstacles such as these have broken many men, but I will not fall
victim to the same fate. You can attribute this proclamation to my
unwavering confidence, blind faith or the egotistical nature of a
champion. Nevertheless, the future will be a testament to these
words. I will not fail.
