A photo-illustrated record of Chilean protest art, along with
reflections on artistic antecedents, global protest movements, and
the long shadow cast by Chile's authoritarian past. From October
2019 until the COVID-19 lockdown in March 2020, Chile was convulsed
by protests and political upheaval, as what began as civil
disobedience transformed into a vast resistance movement.
Throughout, the most striking aspects of the protests were the
murals, graffiti, and other political graphics that became
ubiquitous in Chilean cities. Authors Terri Gordon-Zolov and Eric
Zolov were in Santiago to witness and document the protests from
their very beginning. The book is beautifully illustrated with over
150 photographs taken throughout the protests. Additional photos
will be available on the publisher's website. From the
introduction: In the conclusion, we take stock of the crisis of the
nation-state in the contemporary era. This chapter brings events
into the present moment, noting the ways President Pinera took
advantage of the COVID-19 pandemic to reclaim the streets of
Santiago, a phenomenon echoed in countries across the globe. While
most of the global protest movements were forced to go underground
(or into the ether), the Black Lives Matter movement surged in the
United States and drew massive amounts of support both domestically
and abroad, suggesting a continued wave of grassroots protests. We
close with reflections on the continued relevance of walls in a
virtual world, the testimonial role that protest graphics play, and
the future outlook for revolutionary movements in Chile and
worldwide.

We all know the colonial and stereotypical images of the African continent and of the people living there. Especially older comics such as The Adventures of Tintin or Mickey Mouse have taken up the image of the “untamed” continent with its “wild” inhabitants. Moreover, modern superhero comics mirror the western view of Africa.
What about the African point of view, though? The true African comic?
The editors of this catalogue present a wide range of African comics: superhero and underground comics as well as comics with propaganda content or an educational focus.

The largest presentation of works by Banksy, the world’s most enigmatic
yet highly sought-after artist, including iconic works, installation
objects, ephemera, and memorabilia all in one volume.
Banksy is the world’s most discussed artist of recent decades, and this
seminal collection features hundreds of works including Girl with
Balloon, Pulp Fiction, Love Is in the Air, Barcode, and Monkey Queen.
It also includes scores of paintings, serigraphs, stencils, and
installation objects as well as a selection of memorabilia―many of
which have never been published previously. Created with the
cooperation of Pest Control, the group that manages all things Banksy,
this is as official and authorized as any Banksy publication could be.
Banksy is the world’s greatest practitioner of street art. His work has
always been political, involving pointed critiques of inequality,
injustice, consumerism, and the establishment, yet no one knows his
identity. He is an exemplary case of fame and notoriety built upon
absence and anonymity. His relationship with the art market is also
complex: marked by mocking hostility while being one of the most
marketable and most collected contemporary artists.

Today, known for its black and white portraits covering entire
buildings, Hendrik Beikirch today presents the Siberia project, a
project in the continuity of Tracing Morocco started in 2014. The
intensity of these powerful foreign faces recalls a familiarity
that can be experienced anywhere in the world. Beikirch takes these
studies of humanity with him on his travels and permeates them as
traces of personified life in new contexts. The project is the
result of Beikirch's meeting with this distant immensity that is
Siberia. From this project was born the book Siberia, which gives
an overview of all the works created, paintings, and 10 murals
carried out all over the world. Text in English, French and
Russian.
A rare look into the world of contemporary graffiti culture On the
sides of buildings, on bridges, billboards, mailboxes, and street
signs, and especially in the subway and train tunnels, graffiti
covers much of New York City. Love it or hate it, graffiti, from
the humble tag to the intricate piece (short for masterpiece), is
an undeniable part of the cityscape. In Graffiti Lives, Gregory J.
Snyder offers a fascinating and rare look into this world of
contemporary graffiti culture. A world in which kids, often,
shoplift for spray paint, scale impossibly high places to find a
great spot to “get up,” run from the police, journey into
underground train tunnels, fight over turf, and spend countless
hours perfecting their style. Over the ten years Snyder studied
this culture he even created a few works himself (under the moniker
“GWIZ”), found himself serving as a lookout for other artists
engaged in this illegal activity, spent time in the train tunnels
in search of new work, created a blackbook for writers to tag, and
took countless photographs to document this world — over sixty
included in the book. A combination of amazing “flicks” and
exhilarating prose, Graffiti Lives is ultimately an exploration
into how graffiti writers define themselves. Snyder details that
writers are not bound together by appearance or language or
birthplace or class but by what they do. And what they do is reach
for fame, painting their names as prominently as they can. What’s
more, he discovers that, though many public officials think
graffiti writing will only lead to other criminal activity, many
graffiti writers have turned their youthful exploits into adult
careers—from professional aerosol muralists and fine artists to
designers of all kinds, employed in such fields as tattooing,
studio art, magazine production, fashion, and guerilla marketing.
In fact, some of the artists featured have gone on to international
acclaim and to their own gallery shows. Snyder’s illuminating
work shows that getting up tags, throw-ups, and pieces on New York
City’s walls and subway tunnels can lead to getting out into the
city’s competitive professional world. Graffiti Lives details the
exciting, risky, and surprisingly rewarding pursuits of
contemporary graffiti writers.
Taking a practical approach to colour, Colour: A workshop for
artists and designers is an invaluable resource for art students
and professionals alike. With its sequence of specially designed
assignments and in-depth discussions, it effectively bridges the
gap between colour theory and practice to inspire confidence and
understanding in anyone working with colour. This third edition is
updated with more contemporary examples drawn not just from
painting, but from textiles, graphic design, illustration and
animation. An expanded discussion of digital techniques, new
assignments and a refreshed design have all been brought together
to create a highly readable and relevant text.
