More than a visual archive, it offers a focused look at her contribution to the publishing world and her role in defining a distinct visual language within Latin American design." In the words of Ellen Lupton: "Pulled together into a collection, Iris Alba's paperbacks tell a bigger story about a singular artist, the business of publishing, and the impact of Latin American design". *** |  | | | | $38.00 450-page hardback, 7.5 x 10.4 inches, published by Set Margins "The need-to-know names of Japanese graphic design from the late 19th century to the pre-digital decade, presented alongside more than 500 color images of vintage ephemera "Illustrated with children's book pages, travel posters, maps, product advertisements, erotic magazine covers and more, Fracture functions as a visual treasure trove of Japanese ephemera while also introducing readers to the creative minds behind these formative designs." *** |  | | | | $13.00 48-page staple-bound zine, 5.83 x 8.27 inches, printed on high quality recycled stock / April 2025 issue (Side note, the new Hellebore should be here any day now) Search 50 Watts for available issues of Weird Walk *** |  | | | | $54.95 big 420-page paperback, 8.75 x 11.75 inches / published in 2024 by Seigensha / bilingual Japanese/English "This is the official catalogue for the career-spanning retrospective exhibition of Japanese pop artist Keiichi Tanaami (1936–2024), held at the National Art Center, Tokyo. His brain-melting, protean oeuvre spans not only fine art but also illustration, graphic design, and video. Fuelled by psychedelic forms, comic books, electric colours, and Hollywood films, the decidedly reactionary practice he developed since the 1960s has since led to worldwide acclaim. A self-described "image director", Tanaami was also inspired by Any Warhol's multidisciplinary approach and became fascinated with the potential of printed matter as an artistic medium capable of duplication and proliferation." *** |  | | | | $24.00 Text by Jochen Raiss, Johanna Adorjan / small 112-page hardback, 5 x 7 inches, published in 2025 by Hatje Cantz / ISBN 9783775758345 A "best of" edition of the wildly popular project featuring found photography of women in trees "I don't understand how you can walk past a tree without being happy," says Fyodor Dostoyevsky in his novel The Idiot. Perhaps this thought may explain the motif of women in trees, which was popular between the 1920s and 1950s. The enthusiastic collector of anonymous photography Jochen Raiß (1969–2022) discovered these motifs on flea market excursions, and has assembled them together in this publication for readers to peruse. Following Raiß's wildly popular Women in Trees (2016) and More Women in Trees (2017), this volume gathers some of his favorite images from his 25 years of collecting this charming photographic genre. *** |  | | | | $30.00 182-page hardback, 6 x 8 inches, published in 2025 by Film Desk Books "I'm a director who writes, not a writer."—Michelangelo Antonioni "Thirty-three richly suggestive stories by Antonioni, that range in length from a single paragraph to several pages. Not stories in the usual sense, these are instead a series of evocative sketches or "narrative nuclei," each the genesis for a possible future film. Although he ultimately didn't develop most of these ideas further, encountering them now provides a unique glimpse into Antonioni's mind and cinematic point of view." *** |  | | | | $12.00 12-page tabloid zine from March 2025 / 11.5 x 14.5 inches, ships folded in half.

Unlike most approaches to folk horror or hauntology, we are interested here in an alternative reading; one that attends to the unhuman characters, the materials and the edgeland spaces." "Albion's Eco-eerie is a fantastic exploration into culture's obsession with 'the other'. Dissecting some of our most regarded folk horror creations, to present us with the political and theoretical heart that beats inside. How our desire for escape through parallel worlds holds the key for a deeper future. The perfect companion to Mark Fisher's The Weird and The Eerie." --Maxine Peake | | | | |
