<p>This book, the first in the Slought Books Emerging Artists Series, joins photographs by Stefan Abrams with texts by Edward O'Neill, Mary Ann Doane, and Aaron Levy."It is tempting to wonder about the archival fate of Abrams's series, beyond the issue of its mutability, in an era which believes itself to be after photography, after cinema, after television. It is even more tempting, but difficult, to imagine how these photographs will age, since they speak so clearly to our present, a present haunted by the media-annihilating possibilities of the digital. But, we can deal only with our "now," a now in which the photographs are an eloquent testimonial to the crucial imbrication of temporality, memory, and history in the technologies of representation we think we know." -- Mary Ann Doane "If the power of Abrams's images does not depend upon our memories of the films whose single frames they mobilize, it is because rather than something being remembered in Abrams's series--like one remembers the steps of a dance--something is being interrogated as a memory, as something that will not live again in our bodies: cinema and photography as they were and may never be again." -- Edward R. O'Neill</p>

This new publication, the third in our Contemporary Artist Series, engages work by conceptual artist William Anastasi in relation to literary and artistic predecessors and contemporaries including Jarry, Joyce, Duchamp, and Cage. This publication is edited by Aaron Levy and Jean-Michel Rabaté, with contributions by William Anastasi, Joseph Masheck, Thomas McEvilley, and Steve McCaffery, and an introduction by Osvaldo Romberg. In addition, nearly 40 manuscript pages from William Anastasi's manuscripts "me innerman monophone" and "du jarry," engaging Joyce and Duchamp via Jarry, are reproduced in the book, alongside 10 pages of reproductions of Anastasi's work from the 1960s. By showing concretely that many passages in Finnegans Wake contain buried allusions to Jarry's characters and vocabulary and personality, Anastasi is not simply annotating Joyce's masterpiece; he provides a new way of reading all avant-garde literature. If Jarry is shown to be somewhere in Joyce's texts, how can we be sure that he is not everywhere?

This new publication, the second in our Theory Series, engages metaphors of the hive in contemporary cultural life and encompasses an interdisciplinary approach that spans contemporary art, curatorial studies, and literary criticism. This publication is edited by Aaron Levy and Thaddeus Squire, with essays by Anthony Grafton and Thomas Keenan and audio and visual contributions by Michael Zansky. The publication also includes a complimentary companion DVD, "in which the thinking man finds himself in a gigantic orphanage...," directed by Aaron Levy, with a monologue adapted from Thomas Bernhard's Gargoyles and read by Gary Indiana, which explores the archive in disarray. "The Revolt of the Bees artfully celebrates a set of images and associated practices that dominated the world of high culture for centuries. [...] This collection of evidence and the imaginative and sometimes subversive way in which it is displayed make a distinctive contribution to the new field of history of books and reading—an interdisciplinary study currently in an explosive phase of expansion." - Anthony Grafton "The hive is a living organism, and the living organism is a metaphor for the American organization, which is both the embodiment of and emblem for contemporary cultural practice. Every hive is constituted of thousands of bees: small organisms of finite lifespan subject to an inexorable cycle of life and death. The hive as a whole, however, provides an architecture for overcoming death by possessing a different sustainability-one wrought through continuous cycles of generational passing and reemergence, for which death is not a consideration. Extending the metaphor of the hive into the cultural realm suggests new and more hopeful visions of the cultural organization. Can we imagine our organizations operating without consideration or fear of fragility and sustainability as they envision their futures?" -- Aaron Levy and Thaddeus Squire
