A significant catalogue of Pakistani-American artist Huma BhabhaÂ’s layered and nuanced sculptures and works on paper that center on a reinvention of the figure and its expressive possibilities.Through the artistÂ’s fusion of materials and influences, BhabhaÂ’s work unites the ancient and the futuristic, evoking both familiarity and otherworldliness. Her formally innovative practice pulls from a wide range of references, from those that span the history of art to quotidian influences such as science fiction and horror films and the makeshift structures and detritus of urban life. Instinctive and rigorous, her work brings diverse aesthetic, cultural, and psychological touchstones into contact with matters of surface, materiality, and formal construction. This publication highlights BhabhaÂ’s ability to move between a wide range of media and forms, creating deeply resonant hybrid figures that seem to simultaneously dwell in the past, present, and future. Published on the occasion of two concurrent exhibitions at David Zwirner in New York in 2024, Welcome . . . to the one who came includes a text by the curator Tausif Noor that investigates the theme of alienation in BhabhaÂ’s work. In his essay, the curator and writer Peter Eleey situates her practice within the arc of art-historical models and contextualizes her first foray into working with cast iron.

The Vinyl Detective plunges into the world of Italian movie soundtrack music in his eighth adventure that is sure to delight those who love whimsical British cosy crime. Expect laughs, LPs, cats and the return of fan favourites, Nevada, Tinkler, Stinky Stanmer and more.Some of the greatest (and grooviest) music ever committed to vinyl has come out of Italy. And some of the greatest music to come out of Italy is the rich diversity of soundtracks composed for the indigenous film industry – particularly for gruesome thrillers known as ‘gialliÂ’. The maestros who composed for these include Ennio Morricone, Piero Piccioni, Armand Trovajoli…And Valerius Passeri.He was one of the finest composers of this genre and his original LPs from his 1960s heyday fetch a fortune from collectors. No one disputes that Passeri was a genius…The argument is whether or not he was a murderer. PasseriÂ’s mistress was killed in London in the 1960s while he was here on location for a film shoot. There was never enough hard evidence to lead to a prosecution but the stink of scandal has never gone away. PasseriÂ’s granddaughter Chloe has come to England to hire the Vinyl Detective. She wants him to negotiate for a collection of her fatherÂ’s LPs. The mastertapes of the albums have been destroyed and she needs immaculate vinyl copies to provide the source for a series of reissues – ChloeÂ’s mission is to preserve her grandfatherÂ’s heritage.And also, it transpires, to clear his name.So it turns out that the Vinyl DetectiveÂ’s real job will be to find out who actually committed a murder – over half a century ago, in Swinging London.But the real killer is not enchanted with the notion of being exposed. And, having killed once before, they see no problem in doing so again.

The bestselling author of The Ruin of All Witches returns with a gripping, vividly told journey into his family s wartime past In this rich, engrossing book, Gaskill succeeds in his aim of writing â ˜a story that in good conscience feels realâ ™... As I finished his book, I began to see my own familyâ ™s past through his glass mountain - Ian Ellison, Literary Review Gaskill s account is as much about what cannot be known about the past as what can still be reconstructed, even as the last witnesses to the Second World War pass from sight... his ability to explore the overgrown byways of history almost as a form of travel writing is again winningly on show here - James Owen, The Sunday Times Malcolm Gaskill knew two things about his great-uncle Ralphâ ™s wartime adventures: heâ ™d been a prisoner in Italy, and heâ ™d cut his way out of a train with a knife and fork. Apart from that, heâ ™d faded into family folklore, lost to view. Until, one hot afternoon in an English country garden, a chance conversation set Gaskill on his uncleâ ™s trailâ ¦What Ralph really did in the war was, he discovers, even more extraordinary than the exaggerations of family myth. From last-ditch fighting in the Libyan desert and incarceration in a Puglian prisoner-of-war camp, to desperate, dramatic escapes and the assuming of an entirely new identity among the peasants and partisans of the Italian Alps, Gaskill traces a life transformed by conflict, while lifting the curtain on a long-forgotten episode of the Second World War. Yet The Glass Mountain is about more than war: itâ ™s a haunting exploration of what it means to encounter the past, and how we remember, forget and recover it. As he follows his uncleâ ™s path through dusty archives and the landscapes, towns and villages of present-day Italy, Gaskill finds himself confronted by questions that go to the heart of how we think about the people who came before us: Why do stories matter? How much of the past can ever be true?

The Men from Miami is a real-life Cold War thriller about the Americans who fought for Fidel Castro in the Cuban revolution – then switched sides to try to bring him down. This larger-than-life assortment of adventurers and misfits wreaked havoc across the Caribbean as they fought for and against Castro, then went on to be implicated in President John F. Kennedy’s assassination, a failed invasion of ‘Papa Doc’ Duvalier’s Haiti, and the downfall of President Nixon.Back in 1957, Fidel Castro was a hero to many in the United States for his battle against Cuba’s dictatorial regime. Two dozen American adventurers joined his rebel band in the mountains, including fervent idealists, a trio of teens from Guantánamo Bay naval base, a sleazy ex-con who liked underage girls, and at least two future murderers. The rebels’ eventual victory delighted the USA – but then Castro ran up the red flag and some started wondering if they’d supported the wrong side.Many of Castro’s now disillusioned American volunteers – most importantly Frank Fiorini, who would become infamous for his role in the Watergate burglary, and Alex Rorke, whose mysterious 1963 disappearance remains unsolved – changed sides and joined the Cuban exiles who had washed up in Miami. Their numbers swelled with the arrival of amateur mercenaries from across America ready to drink beer and fight communism. Meanwhile, CIA agents were training Cuban paramilitaries in the Everglades and working alongside the Mafia to assassinate Castro.The Cold War had arrived in Florida, and things would never be the same again.
