Immersing the audience in sound and light Nikita Gale's END OF
SUBJECT subverts understandings of viewership by prompting
spectators to question their subjecthood within 52 Walker's
site-specific installation. Creating an aurally and visually rich
environment, Gale engages with the architecture of the surrounding
space, stimulating all senses through site-specific installation
and muses on the boundaries of performance art. Considering and
fracturing the physical space of the installation, the artist
employs abolitionist ideology and institutional critique to
simultaneously rupture and rebuild facets of the art institution.
With an introduction by Ebony L. Haynes and a suite of poems by
Harmony Holiday, this publication considers Gale's
multidisciplinary approach to address historical hierarchies of
visibility. A text by the esteemed artist Andrea Fraser offers
reflections on the various interventions at play during a gathering
held in the exhibition.

After entering a house where a commotion has been overheard, two
community police officers make a horrific discovery. Detective
Inspector Olivia Hardy and Detective Sergeant Lauren Groves are
dispatched to investigate, triggering a major investigation which
ends up with Hardy being usurped as Senior Investigating Officer.
It's yet another problem for Hardy, as she already suspects that
husband Hal is having an affair. Meanwhile, as Groves descends into
alcoholism after her husband's desertion, both officers' lives seem
to be spiralling out of control. When a baby's body is found at the
back of the police station, Hardy takes the unpleasant case,
determined to succeed and show the world she's still capable - but
things don't turn out exactly as planned... The second in the Fine
Line series of gritty detective novels by acclaimed author Andrea
Frazer.
From the sublime to the ridiculous This pairing of stories
certainly seems to cover that statement, with a story set in Hades
and steeped in sin, alongside one about the season of goodwill to
all and general happiness. I like the contrast. I hope you do too.
The Best Christmas Ever Christmas Eve has arrived and the whole
world, it seems, is intent on doing the very last of the
last-minute Christmas shopping. In some, the day brings out
unexpected acts of kindness, where others are left unmoved. This
story views the day through the eyes of a 'gentleman of the road',
shuffling his way from an early morning rude awakening to a magical
end as the day draws to a close. Miss Goody Two-Shoes and the Devil
Tongue firmly in cheek, and sprinkling spilt salt over her left
shoulder to ward off evil, Andrea Frazer takes us on a trip to
Hell, where the daily grind (and groan) is about to be interrupted
by a very rare event. A pebble plinks on the vast black glass dome
that serves Hell and it's environs as a sky, a precursor that there
is trouble in the earthly realm. The Devil is incensed as he
realises that there is 'one without sin' abroad: a situation that
calls for immediate action of the most radical kind, if he is to
save that soul from purity and sully it with hellish deeds
A bored Sebastian Snail decides to look through all the junk in the
attic of his stately home, Pail Manor. As he sorts through things
long forgotten, he finds an old family map which, to Sebastian's
eyes, looks like a treasure map. Along with his friend, Caruthers
Caterpillar, he hatches a plan to find the family treasure, but
without interference from his snooty butler, Snodgrass Hopper. And
so, secretly, they set out with the map, with no idea of what lies
ahead of them
Sebastian Snail is a very bored snail, and has always wanted to be
famous. At Halloween, after throwing a big party for all his
friends and neighbours, he decides to go ghost hunting with his
best friend, Caruthers Caterpillar. At dead-of-night, they set off
into the dark, in search of witches and ghosts, and things that go
bump in the night And they're headed for Halloween House - a house
that is said to he haunted.....
The Ear-Noz had now settled in with the Barraclough family, but as
the year moved into December, they discovered that he had no idea
what Christmas was. He didn't know any Christmas carols - in fact,
he didn't even know how to sing He didn't understand presents, and
had never even seen a Christmas tree before - or snow There was so
much to teach him that Daniel and Emma were constantly busy
teaching him and showing him things. But Mrs Barracloough had one
great worry - Grandma and Grandpa Millar were coming for Christmas
What on earth could she do to keep their weird house-guest a
secret?
Sebastian Snail was bored. As usual But when his oldest and best
friend Caruthers Caterpillar had ALL his boots stolen from outside
his house one night, Sebastian realised that this was a job for
Sebastian Snail - Private Detective. Bobby Bluebottle, the Meadow
Lea policeman, is more interested in his newspaper than catching
criminals, so Sebastian decides to interview any insects who might
have noticed or heard something unusual. His clever mind soon works
out what happened, but will he be able to catch the culprits?
Sebastian Snail has just finished decorating his hall. After he has
scrubbed his shell clean, he decides he has done a magnificent job,
and ought to advertise his services and good taste to others who
would like to transform their homes. What he fails to realise is
that his hall only looks fantastic because of all the hard work his
butler Snodgrass Hopper has put in, while Sebastian is soaking in a
nice bubbly bath. With his oldest and best friend, Caruthers
Caterpillar, in tow, the over-confident snail starts another job
that could land them in big - and expensive - trouble.
Daniel and Emma were just ordinary children leading ordinary lives
- until one day - they discovered the Ear-Noz; or perhaps he
discovered them Whatever, one day, there he was at the end of the
bed, staring at them with his big red eye. That he was magical,
they were absolutely sure, but they had no idea what mischief he
could get up to, just exploring their house and garden. He took a
lot of clearing-up after, and caused absolute chaos wherever he
went. And there was one very big problem - how to keep him a secret
from Mum and Dad, who would have a fit if they ever caught sight of
him. This is the story of their first adventure with their weird
and wonderful friend - but it certainly isn't the last
