Know Thy Instrument / A Lecture (AI Split Editions #1)
AU$50.00 Read MoreAdd to cartBruce McClure; Hollis Frampton
Milan: Atelier Impopulaire, 2014.“Atelier Impopulaire Split #1 consists of an original text by Bruce McClure, an architect and performer based in New York. It is titled Know Thy Instrument, and based on a lecture given by Hollis Frampton on 30 October 1968, then published as A Lecture. Both with his text and projection performance, McClure aims at reflecting upon the body/technology dynamics, the relation with the whole projection apparatus, and the implications deriving from the removal of some of its parts. This all results in a modification of its mechanical structure, thus provoking a systemic abstraction of the obscurity/light duality in the guise of sound patterns.” (publisher’s blurb)

Denver: Counterpath, 2012.“Like its predecessor, HEATH (plagiarism/outsource), Heath Course Pak exists somewhere between a Project Gutenberg version of Samuel Pepys Diary and a minute-to-minute news feed and blog of Heath Ledger’s death. Sad, appropriated, lyrical and confused, the book contains a brief history of recent performance art, a legal defense of plagiarism, the diary of a poetry workshop at the Asian American Writer’s Workshop, an MP3 protest song, and an examination of SMS and GMS technologies as distribution networks for human sadness. Multi-authored, and with numerous text blocks and photos, the revised edition contains 52 pages of new material, an interview, an annotated text, autographed photos of Jackie Chan and Heath Ledger, e-PostIts, COAs, and coffee/tea stains.” (publisher’s blurb)

Airport Encounter
AU$30.00 Read MoreAdd to cartJames Badger
: Privately Printed, 2012.Erotic coming of age fiction with some homosexual themes set in Brisbane, Armidale, and Toulouse. Limited private printing of 100 copies. “Nigel Wellesley is an Australian choirboy and this book follows him and his talented group of friends from their first sexual experiences into being teenagers. The action switches between Brisbane, Armidale and Toulouse as Nigel has to cope with his girlfriend Jane Barton being in a different city, and then in a different country, but he has plenty of sex-play with his fellow boys while they are separated. Music naturally plays a major part in the story. Mark Ambon is a talented composer and his very shy girlfriend Rose Trescowick is a poet, while Andy Riemer (son of a jazz musician) juggles being a child prodigy pianist with surfing. All of these have major parts in the plot, as do a dirt-poor Moroccan immigrant family in Armidale who Nigel and Jane befriend. A heart-warming, and quite sexually explicit, story.” (publisher’s blurb)
