A brilliant awakening to our vast shared potential and creative
energy for change, from the beloved social media curator Stephen
Ellcock. Featuring 240 reproductions of art, photography and
objects, selected from cultures through history and across the
globe, as well as from living artists such as Zanele Muholi, Kara
Walker, Carrie Mae Weems, Ellen Gallagher, Shirin Neshat and
Gillian Wearing, this is an extraordinary collection of powerfully
inspiring imagery on the nature of challenge and change. 'Perfect
for our time.' Adrian Searle, Guardian 'In compiling The Book of
Change my aim was to combine fragments of the visual culture of the
past - drawing upon as many different traditions, geographical
locations and eras as possible - with work by contemporary artists
and photographers and illustrators, extracting inspiration from the
raw material of the world to create a unique patchwork that
attempts to reimagine existence. 'By reassembling, repurposing and
repositioning fragments of the past and combining them with new
visions and fresh ways of seeing, a collage of unfamiliar,
unspoiled possibilities can emerge, exorcizing the ghosts of
struggles, failures and traumas past, providing glimpses of a
better world, of overgrown paths in the clearing, of potential
routes out of crisis into a brighter, bolder future.' 'Itinerant
image-scavenging art-fugitive Stephen Ellcock returns with a new
book revealing that beneath his acerbic, feral and rarefied
exterior lies a large, kind and generous heart. When you get right
down to it, in life and art, love is the message, and The Book of
Change brings forth the codes, keys and surreal visions leading to
brighter days.' Simon Armstrong, Tate Modern 'Stephen Ellcock
brightens our dark world.' Kara Walker, artist
Lost Futures looks in detail at the wide range of buildings
constructed in Britain between 1945 and 1979. Although their bold
architectural aspirations reflected the forward-looking social
ethos of the postwar era, many have since been either demolished or
altered beyond recognition.Photographs taken at the time of their
completion are accompanied by expertly researched captions that
examine the buildings' design, creation, the ideals they embodied
and the reasons for their eventual destruction. Lost Futures covers
many building types, from housing to factories, commercial spaces
and power stations, and presents the work of both iconic and
lesser-known architects. The author charts the complex reasons that
led to the loss of these projects' ambitious futures, and assesses
whether some might one day be recaptured.
