Sideshow Alley: Infamy, the Macabre & the Portrait
AU$40.00 Read MoreAdd to cartJoanna Gilmour
Canberra: National Portrait Gallery, 2015.“Featuring a sometimes disquieting selection of portraits, Sideshow Alley combines history, biography and the art of portraiture with true crime, scandal and sensation. National Portrait Gallery Curator Joanna Gilmour introduces the relationship between death and portraiture via a focus on the various ways in which artists, photographers and entrepreneurs made use of portraits of Australian convicts and criminals: the canny or unscrupulous publishers trading in salacious prints and penny dreadfuls; the otherwise respectable people who put carte de visite of serial killers into their family albums; the photographic studios doing a brisk trade in portraits of heroes and villains; and the waxworks proprietors who, with their ‘Chambers of Horrors’, turned violence, misfortune and the macabre into a lucrative art form.” (publisher’s blurb)

Tarosophy: Tarot to Engage Life, Not Escape It
AU$85.00 Read MoreAdd to cartMarcus Katz
Brisbane and Chiang Mai: Salamander and Sons, 2015.“Based upon 30 years of studying, reading and teaching tarot, more than 10,000 face-to-face readings and extensive research in the field, Marcus Katz successfully combines academic rigour with invaluable practical experience and breathtaking originality. Suitable for all tarot readers – from absolute beginners to experienced professionals – Tarosophy is written in three sections: basic tarot in a new light for the beginning Tarosophist, intermediate tarot in a magical light for the enquiring Tarosophist, and advanced tarot in a spiritual light for the progressive Tarosophist. From terminology and technique, to reading and spreads, inner work and trees, Tarosophy encapsulates the wisdom of tarot as a living, divine art and science; a dynamic interface between awareness and appearance, and a system to observe, tie and untie the ‘secret knots’ that bind the world. With 50 unique exercises, in excess of 50 illustrations, extensive footnotes, and detailed reading lists, there are more new tarot ideas on any given page of Tarosophy than in some entire texts on the subject.” (publisher’s blurb) This copy with a laid in presentation bookplate signed by the author.

They are lauded for their contributions to the greatest game of all and rightfully so. But what about all the great players who played for Queensland before Origin? They are not so easily remembered, but this does not mean their status should be in any way diminished. This book is a tribute to their courage, dedication and spirit – and to their love of the game.” (publisher’s blurb)

The Reluctant Narrator: A Survey of Narrative Practices Across Media
AU$125.00 Read MoreAdd to cartAna Teixeira Pinto
Lisboa and Berlin: Museu Colecao Berardo / Sternberg Press, 2015.“Often referred to as the “narrative turn,” an explosion of interest in narrative practices at the end of the twentieth century was predicated on the notion that life itself is storied, or—as Jacques Ranciére put it—that the real must be fictionalized in order to be thought. Postmodernism itself was described as a “narrative turn” in which a rekindled interest in the fictive, the chronicle, and the anecdotal upstaged the symbolic unity of high modernism. But as Susan Buck-Morss has noted, modernism and postmodernism are not historical moments, they are political positions: two poles of a recurring movement, expressing the contradictions inherent to the industrial mode of production in the identity and nonidentity between social function and aesthetic form. Rather than opposing a myriad of micro-narratives to the grand narrative of modernism, The Reluctant Narrator attempts to map the migration of narrative modes across several media, bringing together works that intertwine personal biography with historical events, or that deal with stories that fell through the crevices of history.” (publisher’s blurb) Edition of 400.

Sex-Theater
AU$90.00 Read MoreAdd to cartAndrew Gelpke
Zurich & Leipzig: cpress & Spector, 2015.“Andre Gelpke’s series Sex-Theater was produced in the 1970s and depicted performers from a number of different sex theatres in Hamburg’s St. Pauli district. “The fascination that captivated me as a photographer came from the personality of the individual, from the performer who was prepared to realize in public the secret sexual fantasies of an inhibited society, simply in exchange for a fee.” Sex-Theater was first published as a book in 1981 and quickly sold out. The edition produced by Spector Books together with cpress represents a new “staging” of the series: it includes an expanded selection of images and new texts, and is presented in a form that offers this collection of photos a contemporary framing. The era that is depicted here is over, and the decline of these clubs is documented in Sex-Theater.” (publisher’s blurb)
