Art, Politics and the Pamphleteer brings together a collection of
text-based and visual essays, commissioned artworks and graphics.
This richly illustrated book responds to the concept, aesthetics
and function of the political pamphlet. It is diverse in content,
interpreting the ‘pamphlet’ in the broadest terms, and
encompassing a number of case studies that offer historical or
specific examples of contemporary pamphleteering practice that can
be seen to perform ‘a clear political implication’ or protest.
Besides exploring the radical history and diverse cultures of the
pamphlet, it also celebrates the rich visual rhetoric, typography
and contemporary relevance of the format for both artists and
activists. Contributions include an historical overview and essays
by: Andy Abbott, Angeliki Avgitidu, Aziz Choudry and Désirée
Rochat, David Murrieta Flores, Michelle Kempson, Pil and Galia
Kollectiv, Rachel Schreiber, Jane Tormey, Gillian Whiteley; visual
contributions by Gary Anderson and Steven Shakespeare, Ruth Beale,
Ami Clarke, Common Culture, Jeremy Deller, Freee, Patrick Goddard,
Gavin Grindon, Ferenc Grof, Marc Herbst, Joanne Lee, Josh MacPhee,
Manual Labours, Mark McGowan, Minute Works, Chris Morton,

Christopher Darling, Laura Wild, Andrew Wilson. As the book was
conceived as predominantly visual from the outset, the book concept
has been a collaboration with The Little Riot Press (Phil Eastwood
and Chris Dunne). Overall, an aesthetic of protest and propaganda
was considered integral to the design to reiterate the generally
handmade, analogue techniques found in political pamphlets. The
Little Riot Press have thus approached the illustration and overall
visual cohesion from the perspective of the radical artist
pamphleteer. www.thelittleriotpress.com
