A lyrical travelogue charting Tomas Espedal’s journeys to and ruminations around the world, from his native Norway to Istanbul and beyond.  “Why travel?” asks Tomas Espedal in Tramp, “Why not just stay at home, in your room, in your house, in the place you like better than any other, your own place. The familiar house, the requisite rooms in which we have gathered the things we need, a good bed, a desk, a whole pile of books. The windows giving on to the sea and the garden with its apple trees and holly hedge, a beautiful garden, growing wild.”  The first step in any trip or journey is always a footstep—the brave or curious act of putting one foot in front of the other and stepping out of the house onto the sidewalk below. Here, Espedal contemplates what this ambulatory mode of travel has meant for great artists and thinkers, including Rousseau, Kant, Hazlitt, Thoreau, Rimbaud, Whitman, Giacometti, and Robert Louis Stevenson. In the process, he confronts his own inability to write from a fixed abode and his refusal to banish the temptation to become permanently itinerant.  Lyrical and rebellious, immediate and sensuous, Tramp conveys Espedal’s own ...

This book examines the involvement of African American artists in the New Deal art programs of the 1930s. Emphasizing broader issues informed by the uniqueness of Black experience rather than individual artists’ works, Mary Ann Calo makes the case that the revolutionary vision of these federal art projects is best understood in the context of access to opportunity, mediated by the reality of racial segregation. Focusing primarily on the Federal Art Project (FAP) of the Works Progress Administration (WPA), Calo documents African American artists’ participation in community art centers in Harlem, in St. Louis, and throughout the South. She examines the internal workings of the Harlem Artists’ Guild, the Guild’s activities during the 1930s, and its alliances with other groups, such as the Artists’ Union and the National Negro Congress. Calo also explores African American artists’ representation in the exhibitions sponsored by WPA administrators and the critical reception of their work. In doing so, she elucidates the evolving meanings of the terms race, culture, and community in the interwar era. The book concludes with an essay by Jacqueline Francis on Black artists in the early 1940s, after the end of the FAP program. Presenting essential new archival information and important ...

A new edition of Sue Tilley’s classic biography of the man described by Boy George as ‘modern art on legs’, updated to include never-before-seen photographs and a new chapter reflecting on Bowery’s legacy. From his arrival in London in 1980, clutching a suitcase and sewing machine, to his death from AIDS in 1994, artist, performer, musician, club promoter and fashion designer Leigh Bowery led an extraordinary life. Chronicled here with candid wit and affection, Leigh’s closest confidante Sue Tilley describes her best friend’s journey as a creative young gay kid growing up in the Melbourne suburbs who burst onto the vibrant London club scene of the 1980s and changed it forever.Brilliantly evoking the hedonistic energy of the city, Tilley’s personal account of her life with Leigh – their best mates, holidays, clubbing, drugs, outfits, flatmates and sex lives – paints a vivid picture of 80s pop culture through their friendship and love of a good time. She also offers irreverent anecdotes of the London art world, and particularly of Leigh’s close relationship with Lucian Freud, who painted Leigh many times from 1990 onwards; and concludes with a poignant and unsentimental recollection of Leigh’s final days in hospital.
