Summary:
First published in 1905, German poet Christian Morgenstern’s piece is a darkly comic linguistic caprice. Illustrated with punctuation marks, the text is a romp, and yet the political undertones are unmistakable, suggesting systems of menacing control. Rathna Ramanathan’s art and design invoke well-known icons, styles and genres of early twentieth century western and Russian art and craft to make a compelling argument about freedom of expression. This hand silkscreen-printed edition recreates the conceptual art of the book, with ink, line and paper combining to add depth and texture to every page.

Summary:
In this book, artists, theorists and activists reflect on the emergence of radically new publics. With origins in moments of social crisis and political uncertainty, these individuals question existing forms of collective organisation, decision-making structures and protocols for the construction of social value and cultural meaning. Utopian yet pragmatic, insurgent yet self-critical, these publics resist being normalised and instead contribute actively to the formation of new solidarities, cutting across conventional lines of class, region, ethnicity and ideology. With contributions by Katya Sander, Ariella Azoulay, Manuel Beltrán, Dóra Hegyi, Simon Sheikh and more.
