The Frist Art Museum and Vanderbilt University Press have partnered
to copublish Murals of North Nashville Now. The publication
includes plates of the eight murals in the exhibition of the same
name, along with images of public mural installations in North
Nashville. The book features an essay on North Nashville and its
history by Dr. Learotha Williams Jr., associate professor of
African American and public history at Tennessee State University.
Williams also runs the North Nashville Heritage Project. Kathryn E.
Delmez, curator of the accompanying exhibition, edited the volume,
considering the murals from both art-historical and
community-engagement-driven perspectives. Susan H. Edwards,
executive director and CEO of the Frist Art Museum, wrote the
foreword and acknowledgments. Generous support from various
community leaders will allow the book to be placed in all Davidson
County public schools and libraries, and to be presented to members
of the Nashville Metropolitan Council and Tennessee General
Assembly.
This pivot analyzes the historical emergence of legal graffiti and
how it has led to a new ethos among writers. Examining how
contemporary graffiti writing has been brought into new
relationships with major social institutions, it explores the
contemporary dynamics between graffiti, society, the art world and
social media, paying particular attention to how New York City's
political elite has reacted to graffiti. Despite its major
structural transformation, officials in New York continue to
construe graffiti writing culture as a monolithic, criminal
enterprise, a harbinger of economic and civic collapse. This basic
paradox - persistent state opposition to legal forms of graffiti
that continue to gain social acceptance - is found in many other
major cities throughout the globe, especially those that have
embraced neoliberal forms of governance. The author accounts for
the cultural conflicts that graffiti consistently engenders by
theorizing the political and economic advantages that elites secure
by endorsing strong 'anti-graffiti' positions.
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.

Artistry with spray paint goes much deeper than what some would
write off as vandalism. Modern spray paint artists use the medium

and in museums across the globe. The Art of Spray Paint

ways including graffiti, urban art, stencil, portraiture, crisp
graphic work and mixed media. You'll also discover DIY projects and

Reader review
*****************************************************************************************************
Our churches are full of hidden messages from years gone by and for
centuries these carved writings and artworks have lain largely
unnoticed. Having launched a nationwide survey to gather the best
examples, archaeologist Matthew Champion shines a spotlight on a
forgotten world of ships, prayers for good fortune, satirical
cartoons, charms, curses, windmills, word puzzles, architectural
plans and heraldic designs. Here are strange medieval beasts,
knights battling unseen dragons, ships sailing across lime-washed
oceans and demons who stalk the walls. Latin prayers for the dead
jostle with medieval curses, builders' accounts and slanderous
comments concerning a long-dead archdeacon. Strange and complex
geometric designs, created to ward off the 'evil eye' and thwart
the works of the devil, share church pillars with the heraldic
shields of England's medieval nobility. Giving a voice to the
secret graffiti artists of Medieval times, this engaging,
enthralling and - at times - eye-opening book, with a glossary of
key terms and a county-by-county directory of key churches, will
put this often overlooked period in a whole new light.
Making books by hand has never been cooler, with this inspiring

experimental page treatments such as sumi-e ink marbling and wheat
paste. In addition to page after page of inspiration from leading
contemporary binderies, "Little Book of Bookmaking" includes a
practical section of 21 easy-to-follow illustrated tutorials.

MashUp: The Birth of Modern Culture traces the inexorable rise of
collage, montage, sampling and the cut-up. Tracing its roots from
the multiple-perspectives, montages and readymades of Marcel
Duchamp, Kurt Schwitters and Hannah Hoch, to the present - with its
postmodern network culture, where remixing and co-production are
the norm and the New Aesthetic seeks to harmonise the now-everyday
crossover of the digital and the actual. The book addresses the
development of detournement and deconstruction in art,
architecture, music and society. Each chapter is a detailed,
inclusive look at a cross-section of the main artists and thinkers
that have embraced and developed all forms of 'mashup' culture,
since its inception in the late nineteenth century with Braque and
Picasso's experiments into perspective. MashUp: The Birth of Modern
Culture finds parallels between the works of luminaries such as
Jean-Luc Godard, Joseph Cornell, Elizabeth Price, Joyce Wieland and
Jeff Wall, tracing the lasting impact of such seemingly disparate
cultural phenomena as voguing, hacking and the use of audio and
film as a kind of a globally available, open source language in
vidding, hip hop and dub, and in art that deals with the mass
proliferation and dissemination of images and knowledge brought on
by digital technologies. MashUp: The Birth of Modern Culture
situates the work of Andy Warhol, Richard Hamilton and Guy Debord
alongside the likes of Rem Koolhaas and Bruce Mau, Superstudio,
Brian Eno and Cory Arcangel, and more generally within a culture
where the new is necessarily re-made and re-modelled, and quotation
and re-appropriation are an integral part of the way we talk about
it. Published in collaboration with the Vancouver Art Gallery.
