Seven Rooms brings together highlights from Hotel, a magazine for
new approaches to fiction, non-fiction & poetry which, since
its inception in 2016, provided a space for experimental reflection
on literature's status as art & cultural mediator. Co-published
by Tenement Press and Prototype, this anthology captures, refracts,
and reflects a vital moment in independent publishing in the UK,
and is built on the shared values of openness, collaboration, and
total creative freedom.
Richard Demarco co-founded the Traverse Theatre in Edinburgh in
1963 and ran the vibrant Richard Demarco Gallery in Edinburgh for
almost 30 years. He promotes crosscultural dialogues and was the
first person to introduce Joseph Beuys in the UK. Joseph Beuys was
a German sculptor and creator of action performances, political
activist and teacher. This book explores the works, lectures and
'Actions' which resulted from the mutual hopes, inspirations and
shared values of Richard Demarco and Joseph Beuys, the innovative
and inspirational German postwar artist, from 1970 until Beuys'
death in 1986. Demarco, an avant-garde gallerist in Edinburgh, was
an early proponent of Scotland taking its place within the European
art world; Demarco recognised the visionary quality of Beuys' work
and visited him in Oberkassel in January 1970. In the hope of
focusing Beuys' attention on Scotland, he presented him with a set
of postcards depicting typical Scottish scenes. Beuys responded
with, 'I see the land of Macbeth, so when shall we two meet again,
in thunder, lightning or in rain?' They reunited in thundery
Edinburgh later that year and Demarco led him northwards along the
ancient track he calls 'The Road to Meikle Seggie'. This initial
experience of the Scottish landscape inspired Beuys, who felt a
strong connection with Celtic culture, and laid the foundation for
a remarkable artistic friendship which enriched the work of both
men. With photos from Demarco's personal collection and essays
spanning from 1970 to the present, this is an intimate and
intellectually rigorous look at a friendship seminal to the
development of art in Scotland over the last 40 years.

Gallery Director, artist and teacher Richard Demarco was in at the
very start of the Edinburgh Festival in August 1947. Born at the
beginning of that same year, Roddy Martine’s involvement
commenced in 1963 when, at the age of sixteen, he edited an
Edinburgh Festival magazine. Therefore both Richard and
Roddy have highly individual memories of the most remarkable
international festival of the arts the world has ever known. At the
same time, both have witnessed its evolution from the noble vision
of its founders. Now in its seventy-sixth year, can the
Edinburgh Festival survive? Demarco’s Edinburgh will be a hit
with any Edinburgh Festival regular, newbie or on-and-off visitor.
It will also be of interest to anyone who wants to learn more about
the modern history of Edinburgh or the world of the arts, given the
central role the festivals hold in the culture of both.

Assembly and the Trusteeship Council.
Take a walk around 1920s Berlin with one of its greatest luminaries.
In this timeless guide, originally published in Germany in 1929, Franz Hessel invites his readers to join him on a stroll through Weimar-era Berlin, taking in some of the most fascinating sights the city has to offer, many of which still exist in some form today.
From the Alexanderplatz to Kreuzberg, his record of them has become priceless; as has his fascinating commentary on the seismic shifts shaking German culture at the time.
Superbly written, and as fresh today as when it first appeared, this is a book to be savoured.
Is the financial plan of mediocrity -- a dream-stealing,
soul-sucking dogma known as "The Slowlane" your plan for creating
wealth? You know how it goes; it sounds a little something like
this: "Go to school, get a good job, save 10% of your paycheck, buy
a used car, cancel the movie channels, quit drinking expensive
Starbucks lattes, save and penny-pinch your life away, trust your
life-savings to the stock market, and one day, when you are oh,
say, 65 years old, you can retire rich." The mainstream financial
gurus have sold you blindly down the river to a great financial
gamble: You've been hoodwinked to believe that wealth can be
created by recklessly trusting in the uncontrollable and
unpredictable markets: the housing market, the stock market, and
the job market. This impotent financial gamble dubiously promises
wealth in a wheelchair -- sacrifice your adult life for a financial
plan that reaps dividends in the twilight of life. Accept the
Slowlane as your blueprint for wealth and your financial future
will blow carelessly asunder on a sailboat of HOPE: HOPE you can
find a job and keep it, HOPE the stock market doesn't tank, HOPE
the economy rebounds, HOPE, HOPE, and HOPE. Do you really want HOPE
to be the centerpiece for your family's financial plan? Drive the
Slowlane road and you will find your life deteriorate into a
miserable exhibition about what you cannot do, versus what you can.
For those who don't want a lifetime subscription to mediocrity and
a slight chance of elderly riches, there is an alternative; an
expressway to extraordinary wealth that can burn a trail to
financial independence faster than any road out there. -- Why jobs,
401(k)s, mutual funds, and 40-years of mindless frugality will
never make you rich young. -- Why most entrepreneurs fail and how
to immediately put the odds in your favor. -- The real law of
wealth: Leverage this and wealth has no choice but to be magnetized
to you. -- The leading cause of poorness: Change this and you
change everything. --How the rich really get rich - and no, it has
nothing to do with a paycheck or a 401K match. -- Why the guru's
grand deity - compound interest - is an impotent wealth
accelerator. -- Why the guru myth of "do what you love" will most
likely keep you poor, not rich. -- And 250] more poverty busting
distinctions.
