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.
This jewel-like book evokes unmistakable Italian landscapes and
cityscapes. Anne Desmet's pen commits every detail to paper, and
the small-scale format emphasises her distinctive flair for
capturing the relationship between extreme foreground and distance.
This is an opportunity to explore Italy, from Apennines to Veneto,
through the eyes of a very particular artist.
A landmark exploration of the sold, stolen, and destroyed works of Banksy, perhaps one of the most famous and controversial living artists of our time.
A victim of his own success, Banksy is famous the world over and yet more famously disdainful of the spotlight, preferring to remain anonymous. Considered by many to be one of the greatest living artists in the world and to others a rogue vandal with a political agenda, Banksy has scandalized and enlightened the art world since his acts of guerrilla art began to appear on the streets of Barton Hill in Bristol over 25 years ago. However, this is a book about what you can’t see: the works that have disappeared entirely, whether removed by authorities or whisked into people’s private art collections to languish on walls or in collector’s vaults. These remarkable works are as elusive as their creator but are returned here for public consumption and enjoyment.
Works unveiled in Banksy’s Lost Works include a series of seven pieces painted on partially destroyed buildings around Kyiv, Ukraine, one of which has already been cut off the wall by a group of locals; Valentine’s Day Mascara in Margate that has now been restored and housed in Dreamland after several interventions by Thanet District Council; and Banksy’s disappearing rats, an early symbol of the artist routinely painted over by councils when the name Banksy was more synonymous with “vandal” than “artist.”

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.
