AU$500.00 Read MoreAdd to cartHilma af Klint; Daniel Birnbaum; Kurt Almqvist
Stockholm: Bokforlaget Stolpe, 2022.“Hilma af Klint became known to a wider audience in 2013, nearly 70 years after her death, in conjunction with Moderna Museet’s Stockholm exhibition Hilma af Klint: Abstract Pioneer. Six years later, her work was exhibited at the Guggenheim Museum in New York. Both exhibitions saw record numbers of visitors, and today she is one of the world’s most acclaimed artists. The paintings in the catalogue raisonne are presented in the same order as Olof Sundstrom, also a follower of anthroposophy, numbered them in 1945, based on Hilma af Klint’s notes. The forewords to the volumes are short and concise. They present facts about the works rather than interpretations. The works are printed in an exclusive edition designed by Patric Leo housed in a specially produced slipcase to hold all seven volumes.” (publisher’s blurb) Edited by Daniel Birnbaum and Kurt Almqvist.

Tom of Finland: An Imaginary Sketchbook
AU$60.00 Read MoreAdd to cartTom of Finland
Milano: Skira, 2022.“Tom of Finland undoubtedly counts among the great and truly influential artists of the latter 20th century. Through his iconic images, he almost single-handedly changed the way gay men were perceived by society, and — maybe even more important — how gay men perceived themselves. The massive oeuvre that he produced over the course of a career spanning nearly six decades is devoted almost entirely to this one topic: men, their bodies, and their spirits. This extraordinary consistency in subject-matter was matched by a life-long passion for the supreme discipline of freehand drawing. All he needed to create a universe of dazzlingly gorgeous hunks was a pencil and a sheet of paper. And he most likely drew every day of his life. Drawing, it seems, was an exercise for his restless imagination and desire. Tom’s world was populated by cowboys, mechanics, cops, punks and thugs – all indulging their desires with great camaraderie and without guilt or prejudice. This book assembles a cross-section of these characters as dreamt up by the artist in rough sketches or more carefully executed studies. Mostly they served as preliminary drawings for the highly finished works, many of which were intended for publication. The playful format of an imaginary sketch book lets the viewer take an intimate glance over the artist’s shoulder and share in his exuberant joie de vivre.” (publisher’s blurb)

The Lives of Fungi: A Natural History of our Planet’s Decomposers
AU$50.00 Read MoreAdd to cartBritt A. Bunyard
Princeton: Princeton University Press, 2022.“A fascinating and richly illustrated exploration of the natural history of fungi. We know fungi are important, for us as well as the environment. But how they live, and what they can do, remains mysterious and surprising. Filled with stunning photographs, The Lives of Fungi presents an inside look into their hidden and extraordinary world. The wonders of fungi are myriad: a mushroom poking up through leaf litter literally overnight, or the sensational hit of umami from truffle shavings. Alexander Fleming cured infections with mold and spiritual guides have long used psychedelic mushrooms to enhance understanding. Then there are the tiny threads of fungi, called hyphae, that create a communications network for the natural world while decomposing organic matter. Combining engaging and accessible text with beautiful images, The Lives of Fungi lays out all the essential facts about fungi for the mycologically curious.” (publisher’s blurb)

Psyche Unbound: Essays in Honor of Stanislav Grof
AU$50.00 Read MoreAdd to cartRichard Tarnas; Sean Kelly
[Santa Fe]: Multipdisciplinary Association of Psychedelic Studies, 2022.“Psyche Unbound is an extraordinary compilation of twenty-two essays that honor the pathbreaking lifework of Stanislav Grof, the world’s leading researcher in psychedelic therapy, breathwork, and the exploration of non-ordinary states of consciousness. Over the past half century, Grof has conducted thousands of LSD-assisted psychotherapy sessions, developed unique frameworks for supporting and understanding mental health, and ultimately created a new, expansive cartography of the mind that welcomes spiritual experience with openness, rigor, and reverence. In honor of Grof’s 90th birthday, this seminal collection of essays ranges from Joseph Campbell’s and Huston Smith’s remarkable assessments in the early 1970s as they first encountered and recognized the significance of Grof’s discoveries, to current reflections by psychiatrists and researchers participating in today’s renaissance of psychedelic therapy. In between are major essays that forward Grof’s work on numerous theoretical and therapeutic fronts: implications for social and cultural change, transpersonal sexual experiences, the perinatal dimensions of Jean-Paul Sartre’s 1935 mescaline experience, comparative studies with Asian religious systems, and illuminating parallels with the philosophical views of Alfred North Whitehead and William James, as well as discoveries in quantum and relativistic physics. Edited by Richard Tarnas and Sean Kelly, Psyche Unbound is an homage to one of the greatest clinicians in history and his powerful legacy of healing the soul and evolving human consciousness.” (publisher’s blurb)

Fugitive Text
AU$70.00 Read MoreAdd to cartPeter Maloney
Melbourne: M.33, 2022.“Fugitive Text draws together photographic diptychs and triptychs made since the mid-1990s in response to the artist’s experience of love, desire and loss through the HIV/AIDS pandemic. It incorporates photographs taken in-camera as well as images drawn from a variety of sources, including vintage photographs found in flea markets and images re-photographed from pornography and popular culture. The photographs – views of architectural and public spaces, flowers, nudes, images of sea and sky – are paired and, in most cases, overpainted with text –anecdotes, fragments drawn from memory, popular verse and queer culture. The images draw on Peter Maloney’s experience of the HIV/AIDS pandemic (as an HIV-positive person who lost much of their social group during the 1980s and early 1990s) and on photography’s specific relationship to memory, time and place, and testimony. Combined with scraps of text, the images become memory fragments. The memories suggested by these works are those of someone remembering love and loss – friends and lovers lost to HIV/AIDS, and also the moments of desire, risk and sensation that in a way mark the queer experience of time and space. The book, with its exposed spine and multiple fold out triptychs, was designed by Elliott Bryce Foulkes and is in itself an object of exceptional beauty. The works are accompanied by texts by the prominent American author and cultural critic Lynne Tillman and writer and curator Shaune Lakin.” (publisher’s blurb)

The Future is Fungi
AU$50.00 Read MoreAdd to cartMichael Lim; Yun Shu
London: Thames & Hudson, 2022.How Fungi Can Feed Us, Heal Us, Free Us and Save Our World. “The kingdom of fungi has survived all five major extinction events.
