The first-ever illustrated history of the iconic designs, symbols,
and graphic art representing more than 5 decades of LGBTQ pride and
activism--from the evolution of Gilbert Baker's rainbow flag to the
NYC Pride typeface launched in 2017 and beyond. Organized by decade
beginning with Pre-Liberation and then spanning the 1970s through
the millennium, QUEER X DESIGN will be an empowering, uplifting,
and colorful celebration of the hundreds of graphics-from shapes
and symbols to flags and iconic posters-that have stood for the
powerful and ever-evolving LGBTQ movement over the last five-plus
decades. Included in the collection will be everything from Gilbert
Baker's original rainbow flag, ACT-UP's Silence = Death poster, the
AIDS quilt, and Keith Haring's "Heritage of Pride" logo, as well as
the original Lavender Menace t-shirt design, logos such as "The
Pleasure Chest," protest buttons such as "Anita Bryant Sucks
Oranges," and so much more. Sidebars throughout will cover
important visual grouping such as a "Lexicon of Pride Flags,"
explaining the now more than a dozen flags that represent segments
of the community and the evolution of the pink triangle.

What are the archives of gay and lesbian leather histories, and how
have contemporary artists mined these archives to create a queer
politics of the present? This book sheds light on an area long
ignored by traditional art history and LGBTQ studies, examining the
legacies of the visual and material cultures of US leather
communities. It discusses the work of contemporary artists such as
Patrick Staff, Dean Sameshima, Monica Majoli, AK Burns and AL
Steiner, and the artist collective Die Kranken, showing how
archival histories and contemporary artistic projects might be
applied in a broader analysis of LGBTQ culture and norms. Hanky
codes, blurry photographs of Tom of Finland drawings, a pin sash
weighted down with divergent histories - these become touchstones
for writing leather histories. -- .
Ron Athey is one of the most important, prolific and influential
performance artists of the past four decades. A singular example of
lived creativity, his radical performances are at odds with the art
worlds and art marketplaces that have increasingly dominated
contemporary art and performance art over the period of his career.
Queer Communion, an exploration of Athey's career, refuses the
linear narratives of art discourse and instead pays homage to the
intensities of each mode of Athey's performative practice and each
community he engages. Emphasizing the ephemeral and largely
uncollectible nature of his work, the book places Athey's own
writing at its centre, turning to memoir, memory recall and other
modes of retrieval and narration to archive his performances. In
addition to documenting Athey's art, ephemera, notes and drawings,
the volume features commissioned essays, concise 'object lessons'
on individual objects in the Athey archive, and short testimonials
by friends and collaborators including Dominic Johnson, Amber
Musser, Julie Tolentino, Ming Ma, David Getsy, Alpesh Patel and
Zackary Drucker, among others. Together they form Queer Communion,
a counter history of contemporary art.

You better believe it Andy Campbell, known for his adventurous
Caribbean stories for the young and the young at heart, takes you
aboard his boat to fantastic islands in the Caribbean, where
UNBELIEVABLE things happen. Meet Ebenezer Tull, the
less-than-honest fisherman who catches the biggest marlin in the
world (or does he)? Lime on Maracas Beach with Olga and Thomas
Olson, who necessitate a miracle leaf from the local roast corn
vendor, and never look at a gas station the same way as before.
Wonder why Slither, the pet python, goes rigid from time to time,
and never look at a lamb roast the same way as before. Switch
places with Orville, and live in paradise for some months-and never
look at life the same way as before. So hop aboard, and become a
believer
You bought a Mac Let me be the first to tell you, your day is about
to get much, MUCH easier. But before we get there, there's a bit of
light house keeping. Yeah, yeah, yeah - that's all fine and good,
but when do you get to play with your new machine? Mac's are great
- they are powerful, streamlined and easy as heck to use - but your
files? They're still on a PC and like it or not, you just spent 20+
years using Windows, so there are some adjustments to make. Before
you can show off your slick new Macbook Air or brag about how much
faster your machine boots up or how you can find a file in, like,
three seconds, you need to make the transition. That's what we're
about to do. The accessories. The Apps. The file transfer. In the
pages that follow, you'll learn all the stuff that matters, none of
the stuff that doesn't and be ready to flash that shiny new Apple
logo at your local coffee shop with pride.
Why are homing pigeons so vital to have on board when going on a
family outing? Why should old men owning museums never be
underestimated by art thieves? And why should one be careful when
flying a monster kite on a windy day? Andy Campbell's answers to
these questions make exciting, thrilling, delightful reading (or
reading aloud). This book, the third in Andy's series of
adventurous and often hair-raisingly suspenseful stories for and
about children in the Caribbean, is fabulously illustrated by
Trinidadian up-and-coming illustrator Ryan James. And because Andy
is a retired pilot, there is always the thrill of flying involved
somewhere in his stories ... and if it's only tribal blow-darts
whirring about in the night
Andy Campbell's second children's book - gripping adventure stories
from the Caribbean! Shark attack! Bull attack! Snake attack! Lost
at sea! In these stories, Trinidadian children have the most
nerve-wracking adventures caused by their encounters with the flora
and fauna of their home island. But not to worry, all's well that
ends well ... and the brave save the day! Gorgeously illustrator by
talented Trinidadian artist Ryan James, with additional images by
Jean Claude Salvatori. Illustrations by Ryan James and Jean Claude
Salvatori Andy Campbell is a retired pilot with BWIA and wrote
these adventure stories at his coffee table, which was thus
rendered unusable for having coffee for months on end.
Three Caribbean short stories that have to do with flying! From
Grommit, the vulture that falls first from its nest and then in
love with a human lady, to Squirrel Coconuts, who ends up by
mistake in the hold of a plane and has to find his place in Hyde
Park in London, to a little boy who becomes a castaway on a little
deserted island and has to engage a flock of pelicans to carry him
back home: these exciting children stories from Trinidad and Tobago
are unmistakingly written by a pilot! Illustrations by Andy
Campbell and Jean Claude Salvatori Photographs by Alice Besson and
Noel Norton Andy Campbell is a retired commercial pilot and wrote
these adventure stories during his layovers in hotels in London and
New York.

In an age of national divisiveness, artists are creating moments of
political resistance while also trying to forge paths towards
reconciliation. This exciting and provocative collection shows how
fifteen US-based multi-disciplinary artists are addressing the
complexity of the 21st century. Jeffrey Gibson weaves together
European and Native American cultures; Performance artist Cassils
constructs images of resistance in the Trans community; Hayv
Kahraman examines diasporic culture and the effect of being a
refugee in America. Together these artists create a national
collective portrait of a country at odds. This book examines the
human condition from all sides and strives to show how acting
together against suffering can lead to a new version of realness.
