Leon Bloy - Sweating BloodWakefield Press 2016 ISBN 9781939663177 Acqn 25913Pb 15x23cm 232pp £14.50

First published in French in 1893, Sweating Blood  describes the atrocities of war in 30 tales ofhorror and inhumanity from the pen of the "Pilgrim of the Absolute," Léon Bloy. Writing with blood,sweat, tears and moral outrage, Bloy drew from anecdotes, news reports and his ownexperiences as a guerrilla fighter to compose a fragmented depiction of the 1870 Franco-Prussian War, told with equal measures of hatred and pathos, and alternating between cuttingdetail and muted anguish. From heaps of corpses, monstrous butchers, cowardly bourgeois,bloody massacres, seas of mud, drunken desperation, frightful disfigurement, grotesquehallucinations and ghoulish means of personal revenge, a generalized portrait of suffering isrevealed that ultimately requires a religious lens: for through Bloy’s maniacal nationalism and

frenetic Catholicism, it is a hell that emerges here, a 19th-century apocalypse that tore a countryapart and set the stage for a century of atrocities that were yet to come. Léon Bloy (1846–1917)was born to a freethinking yet stern father and a pious Spanish–Catholic mother in south-westernFrance. Nourishing anti-religious sentiments in his youth, his outlook changed radically when hemoved to Paris and came under the influence of Jules-Amédée Barbey d’Aurevilly. In hissubsequent years of writing pamphlets, novels, essays, poetry and a multi volume diary, Bloyearned his dual nicknames of "The Pilgrim of the Absolute" through his unorthodox devotion tothe Catholic Church and "The Ungrateful Beggar" through his endless reliance on the charity offriends to support him and his family.

Oskar Panizza - The Pig

Wakefield Press 2016 ISBN 9781939663153 Acqn 25915Pb 12x18cm 120pp 2ills £11.25

"The Pig is the Sun...."  So begins Oskar Panizza’s outrageously heretical and massively eruditeessay on the pig, originally published in 1900 in his journal Zurich Discussions. Moving from theRig Veda to the Edda to Ovid, from the story of Tristan and Isolde to Nordic celebrations ofChristmas, from Grimms’ fairytales to Swedish folklore to Judeo-Egyptian dietary restrictions, theauthor contends, through painstakingly philological argumentation, that the miraculous swineoccupies a central, celestial position as the life-giving force animating the entire universe,usurping the place of God as the beginning and end of all things.Oskar Panizza (1853–1921) was a German psychiatrist turned avant-garde author. In 1894 hepublished his notorious play The Love Council : "A Heavenly Tragedy in Five Acts" that depictedthe spread of syphilis among humanity in 1492 through a senile god, an idiot Christ, apromiscuous Mary and a depraved Pope Alexander VI. Charged with 93 counts of blasphemy,

Panizza found his instantaneous literary fame accompanied by a 12-month prison sentence.Moving to Zurich, he published a journal, Zurich Discussions, the majority of which he wrotehimself under a series of pen names. After being expelled from Switzerland, he relocated to Parisuntil his 1899 publication of anti-Germanic verse led to his finances being seized. He spent thelast 16 years of his life in a Bavarian mental institution.

Paul Willems - The Cathedral of MistWakefield Press 2016 ISBN 9781939663184 Acqn 25912Pb 12x18cm 112pp 6ills £10.50

First published in French in 1983, The Cathedral of Mist  is a collection of stories from the last ofthe great Francophone Belgian fantasists: distilled tales of distant journeys, buried memories andimpossible architecture. Described here are the emotionally disturbed architectural plan for apalace of emptiness; the experience of snowfall in a bed in the middle of a Finnish forest; thememory chambers that fuel the marvellous futility of the endeavour to write; the beautifulwoodland church, built of warm air currents and fog, scattering in storms and taking renewedshape at dusk, that gives this book its title. The Cathedral of Mist  offers the sort of etherealnarratives that might have come from the pen of a sorrowful, distinctly Belgian Italo Calvino. It isaccompanied by two meditative essays on reading and writing that fall in the tradition of MarcelProust and Julien Gracq.

Paul Willems (1912–97) published his first novel, Everything Here Is Real , in 1941. Three morenovels and, toward the end of his life, two collections of short stories bracketed his career as aplaywright.

Pascal Quiqnard - A Terrace in Rome

Wakefield Press 2016 ISBN 9781939663160 Acqn 25914Pb 12x18cm 128pp 1ills £11.25

 A Terrace in Rome describes the tormented life of Geoffroy Meaume, a 17th-century engraver ofencrypted shadows and erotic prints. After a passionate affair in his youth concludes with his facebeing burned by acid thrown by his lover’s jealous fiancé, Meaume undertakes a lifetime ofwandering, his psyche forever engraved by the memory of the woman who spurned him. With aface of boiled leather and a mind haunted by a nightmare of desire, he devotes himself to theblack-and-white world of etchings and mezzotints, forsaking the paradise of color to engage in ascience of shadows. This fragmented narrative of a man attacked by images is related in 47 shortchapters which themselves act as engravings; a tale told by an antiquarian, full of fragmentedvision and sexual hell. First published in French in 2000,  A Terrace in Rome received the GrandPrix du Roman de l’Académie Française that same year, and went on to be translated into 19languages. This is its first appearance in English.Pascal Quignard (born 1948) has written over 60 books of fiction, essays, and his own particulargenre of philosophical reflection that straddles the personal journal, historical narrative and poetictheory. His books in English include Albucius, All the World’s Mornings, The Sexual Night , Sexand Terror , On Wooden Tablets: Apronenia Avitia, and The Salon in Wurttemberg , as well as themultiple volumes of his ongoing book project The Last Kingdom, which, to date, includes TheRoving Shadows, The Silent Crossing  and Abysses.

Marcel Broodthaers - My Ogre Book, Shadow Theater, MidnightSiglio 2016 ISBN 9781938221118 Acqn 25902Hb 15x20cm 160pp 80col ills £32

This intimate and gorgeously produced book pairs Belgian artist-poet Marcel Broodthaers’ firsttwo collections of poetry, My Ogre Book  (1957) and Midnight  (1960)—both previouslyunpublished in English—with an 80-image projection work, Shadow Theater  (1973–74), madetoward the end of his too-brief life. Together these works reveal a dizzyingly prodigious interplaybetween the images and texts, particularly illuminating Broodthaers’ use of the oblique and darkfairytale framework within (and against) which he plays with reflections and reproductions,

inversions and fictions, body and shadow, decor and violence. My Ogre Book  (Mon livre d’ogre)and Midnight  (Minuit ) served as a wellspring for Broodthaers’ later visual work: he continuallyrecycled and reworked them into new schemata in his installations, films, sculptures andpaintings. Both are wildly cinematic books that perform like a fictional theater set (or museum) fora dark fable of which we are only dimly aware. In this vein, Shadow Theater  (Ombres chinoises),published in full for the first time here, creates a fantastical poetic landscape of semblance andsleights of hand. The three works are published together to provide the reader with anunprecedented opportunity to read Broodthaers in both language and image.

Notes on GlazeCabinet 2016 ISBN 9781932698589 Acqn 25864Hb 14x21cm 96pp 18ills 14col £20

In the spring of 2010, the Brooklyn-based quarterly magazine Cabinet  invited poet and culturalcritic Wayne Koestenbaum to begin writing a regular column. Entitled "Legend," the column had ahighly unusual premise. Every three months, the editors of the magazine would askKoestenbaum to write one or more extended captions for a single photograph with which theyhad provided him; drawn from obscure vernacular, commercial and scientific sources, all of theimages were unfamiliar to the author. After 18 installments, Koestenbaum concluded his columnin the winter of 2015. Notes on Glaze, featuring an introductory essay by the author, collects allthe "Legend" columns, as well as their accompanying photographs. Refusing the distancinglanguage of critical disinterest, Koestenbaum’s columns always locate the author in intimate

proximity to the subjects portrayed in the photographs and to the impossibly variegated cast ofcharacters—ranging from Debbie Reynolds to Duccio, the Dalai Lama to Barbra Streisand; fromHegel to Pee-wee Herman, and Emily Dickinson to Cicciolina—that pass through these texts.Wayne Koestenbaum (born 1958), a Distinguished Professor of English at the CUNY GraduateCenter, has published 17 books of poetry, criticism and fiction, including My 1980s & OtherEssays (Farrar, Straus and Giroux, 2013), Blue Stranger with Mosaic Background  (Turtle PointPress, 2012) and The Anatomy of Harpo Marx  (University of California Press, 2012). His mostrecent book of poetry, The Pink Trance Notebooks, was published in 2015 by Nightboat Books.

This is the first complete presentation of the artists' books, posters, prints and ephemeraproduced by The Hairy Who (Chicago, 1966-69), which was composed of Jim Falconer (born1943), Art Green (born 1941), Gladys Nilsson (born 1940), Jim Nutt (born 1938), Suellen Rocca(born 1943) and Karl Wirsum (born 1939).Over the course of five exhibitions in Chicago, San Francisco and Washington, DC, The HairyWho represented a de facto rebuke to the chilly ironies of Pop and forged new ways of crafting

figurative painting. As likely to use Plexiglas as canvas and employing a language based onverbal confusion, visual puns and an almost ecstatic use of line and colour, the members of theHairy Who produced publications, posters and even buttons, and their exhibitions were immersiveenvironments unequalled at the time.The Hairy Who has enjoyed a renewed popularity recently, thanks to a documentary film andmultiple exhibitions by the contributing artists. This publication presents all of the printed worksrelated to the Hairy Who exhibitions--important documents in the history of contemporary art andartists' books. Formatted like comic books, they are among the very first full-colour self-publishedartists' books, containing work made especially for publication. Studying these works is importantto an understanding of post-1960s art and artists' books.

Disorientation: Bernard Rudofsky in the Empire of Signs. Critical Spatial Practice 7Sternberg Press 2016 ISBN 9783956791871 Acqn 25953Pb 11x15cm 144pp 25ills 7col £11.50

Edited by Nikolaus Hirsch, Markus MiessenFeaturing artwork by Martin Beck

Viennese émigré architect Bernard Rudofsky (1905–1988) is most frequently recalled for curating“Architecture without Architects,” the famous 1964 photography exhibition of vernacular,preindustrial structures at the Museum of Modern Art in New York. Far from simply a romantic ornostalgic invocation of cultures lost to industrial modernity, Rudofsky’s exhibition drew ondecades of speculations about modern architecture and urbanism, particularly their semantic,technological, institutional, commercial, and geopolitical influences.

Focusing on Rudofsky’s encounters with Japan in the 1950s—he described postwar Japan as a“rear-view mirror” of the American way of life—architectural historian Felicity D. Scott revisits thearchitect’s readings of the vernacular both in the United States and Japan, which resonate withhis attempts to imagine architecture and cities that refused to communicate in a normative sense.In a contemporary world saturated with visual information, Rudofsky’s unconventional musingstake on a heightened resonance.

“OLAFUR ELIASSON: BAROQUE BAROQUE” is an ambitious exhibition that brings together andreconnects some of Olafur Eliasson’s most distinguished works from the collections of TBA21and the Juan and Patricia Vergez Collection. The overview of artworks from two decadesexplores the affinities between his work and the extraordinary baroque setting of the Belvedere’sWinter Palace of Prince Eugene of Savoy in Vienna.

 As an accompaniment to the exhibition, the catalogue Olafur Eliasson: Baroque Baroque examines some of the trajectories of thought raised by the encounter between Eliasson’sartworks and their temporary baroque housing: in particular, how transformations of space,perception, and cognition reflect the realms of politics, technology, and the Anthropocene.

Myriad conceptions of the medium and its specificity are explored by aninternational group of scholars, critics, and artists.

What does it mean to publish today? In the face of a changing media landscape, institutionalupheavals, and discursive shifts in the legal, artistic, and political fields, concepts of ownership,authorship, work, accessibility, and publicity are being renegotiated. The field of publishing not

only stands at the intersection of these developments but is also introducing new ruptures. Howthe traditional publishing framework has been cast adrift, and which opportunities are surfacing inits stead, is discussed here by artists, publishers, and scholars through the examination of recentpublishing concepts emerging from the experimental literature and art scene, where publishing isoften part of an encompassing artistic practice. The number and diversity of projects among theartists, writers, and publishers concerned with these matters show that it is time to move thequestion of publishing from the margin to the center of aesthetic and academic discourse.

Rare Earth is an attempt to define the spirit of an age. Exploring how today’s myths, identities,and cosmologies relate to current advances in technology—through reference to the materialbasis to our most developed weapons and tools; a class of seventeen rare earth elements fromthe periodic table—Rare Earth challenges the rhetoric of immateriality associated with ourhypermodern condition. Rare Earth grounds our strange, seemingly weightless cultural moment.While we may design our technologies, these tools and weapons shape us in turn. It may seemthat we dream the contemporary into existence, but perhaps rare earth elements are dreamingthrough us. After the Stone Age, the Bronze Age and the Iron Age, this is the age of Rare Earth.

 An experiment with alternative forms of design, Public Design Support is also an intervention inurban life. It helps local residents and others to shape their lifeworld and explore possibilities foraction, instead of the usual experience of powerlessness and marginalization in the face of urbandevelopment. Public Design Support offers free practical help in dealing with everyday problemswhile also helping to develop alternative conceptions of the city. It explores the potential ofdesign, including its social role and political significance. Design can be more than a way forcompeting cities to be distinctive, more than the display of individual status, more than a tool forsegregation in urban development. Public Design Support is an engaged and political form ofdesign, since it makes other people, problems, and spaces into actors and objects in the design

process. It usually works with people impacted by design, or excluded by it, rather thanparticipants who profit from the process.

This publication—which includes key project materials, scholarly essays, and significant historicaltexts—chronicles the aspirations, methods, and projects of the first four years of Public DesignSupport.
