Richard Long has been at the forefront of land art for more than
half a century. A pioneer of conceptual practices in the 1960s, his
expanded approach to sculpture has consistently taken the medium
out of the studio into the natural world and around the globe,
using time, space, distance, navigation, perception, the elements
and the geological forces that have shaped the landscape around us
as both his tools and his vocabulary. Many Rivers to Cross is a
thorough overview of Long's career, selected by the artist himself
and spanning the late 1960s to the present day. It covers his
practice in all its forms - walks, photographs, text works, large
installations, mud works and drawings, including some early
unpublished works as well as many seminal and celebrated projects.
A number of short 'back stories' written by Long not only provide
insight into the context and creation of key works, but also evoke
the sense of freedom and adventure of an epic journey across
foreign landscapes. Texts include a recent conversation between
Long and internationally acclaimed composer and musician Nitin
Sawhney; a dialogue about the recreation of Muddy Water Circle
(1994) at Frieze Masters in London with Lisson Gallery in 2013; and
a discussion with curator Alkistis Dimaki on the occasion of the
presentation of Athens Slate Line at the Acropolis, Athens, in
summer 2020. The book also includes documentation of works
presented internationally in museums and galleries. Using earth,
rocks, sticks and other natural materials and forces ranging from
water and gravity to clouds and constellations of stars, over the
course of his distinguished career Long has represented the primal
relationship between humankind, art and the landscape. In a modern,
post-industrial, digital world, his poetic and often profound
practice is a poignant reminder of the origins of life, of human
development and civilization, and of the fundamental, primordial
drive to create.

Clark Atlanta University Art Galleries in Atlanta, Georgia
celebrates the seventieth anniversary of the founding of its
permanent collection and the sixtieth anniversary of the unveiling
of the "Art of the Negro" murals with this commemorative volume.
Initially conceived with works selected from annual exhibitions,
the collection today constitutes a rare and remarkable assemblage
of African-American art. "In the Eye of the Muses "tells the story
of the Atlanta University Art Annuals held between 1942 and 1970,
from which the collection stemmed, cataloging the 887 artists who
participated and crucially enhancing our understanding of art by
African Americans. In an accompanying essay, Hale Woodruff's "Art
of the Negro" mural suite is eloquently explicated by art critic
Jerry Cullum. "In the Eye of the Muses" presents a monumental
catalogue of a unique collection.

What does it take to rebuild in the wake of tragedy? Once the world
has fallen and the old world purged, will those that survive repeat
the same mistakes of the old world? Even under a new world the old
world still shines though and the creatures that had survived
attempt to rebuild the world as an ancient foe attempts to usurp
the universe for himself.
"Everything you've ever believed about yourself...about the
description of reality you've clung to so stubbornly all your
life...all of it...every bit of it...is an illusion." In the
rubble-strewn wasteland of Alphabet City, a squalid tenement
conceals a treasure "beyond all imagining"-- an immaculately
preserved, fifth century codex. The sole repository of ancient
Hermetic lore, it contains the alchemical rituals for transforming
thought into substance, transmuting matter at will...and attaining
eternal life. When Rose, a sex and pain addicted East Village
tattoo artist has a torrid encounter with Martin, a battle-hardened
loner, they discover they are unwitting pawns on opposing sides of
a battle that has shaped the course of human history. At the center
of the conflict is Paul, the villainous overlord of an underground
feudal society, who guards the book's occult secrets in preparation
for the fulfillment of an apocalyptic prophecy. The action is
relentless as Rose and Martin fight to escape Paul's clutches and
Martin's destiny as the chosen recipient of Paul's sinister legacy.
Science and magic, mythology and technology converge in a
monumental battle where the stakes couldn't be higher: control of
the ultimate power in the universe--the Maelstrom. The Book of Paul
is the first of seven volumes in a sweeping mythological narrative
tracing the mystical connections between Hermes Trismegistus in
ancient Egypt, Sophia, the female counterpart of Christ, and the
Celtic druids of Clan Kelly.
