"
An up&amp;hyphen;to&amp;hyphen;the&amp;hyphen;minute survey of contemporary drawing featuring 115 artists from around the world, Vitamin D2 allows the reader to look at the medium in detail and study drawing’s unique properties in relation to itself, to contemporary art and to the world at large.
The first volume of Vitamin D, published in 2005, inaugurated a vibrant period for drawing. Since its publication, a new generation of artists has engaged with drawing in innovative ways, and Vitamin D2 introduces these artists to the world.
Drawing continues to be a key element of contemporary artistic practice, and Vitamin D2 presents the outstanding artists who are currently pushing the boundaries of the medium. Over 70 international critics, artists and curators have nominated the 115 artists featured here, all of whom have made a fresh, unique or innovative contribution to recent drawing. All of the artists in Vitamin D2 have recently emerged onto the international scene, and none appeared in the first Vitamin D.
An introduction by Christian Rattemeyer provides a broad overview of recent developments in the medium while also looking towards its future."

Colin Albert Perry was born in 1922, in Camberwell. At fourteen, he left school to start work as an office boy with a paper merchant, for fourteen shillings a week. In June 1940, he decided to start a diary, ending in November when he joined the Merchant Navy as a ship's writer. This is Colin's diary, published just as he wrote it. Revealing the psychology of adolescence in unforgettable times, these are the youthful, untrained outpourings of a proud and totally insignificant Londoner. BOY IN THE BLITZ is an amazingly insightful account of both the traumatic experiences and the everyday happenings of an eighteen-year-old in the 1940s.

Colin Albert Perry was born in Camberwell, London on 12 February 1922. In 1940, having left school in 1936 with no qualifications, he was passed medically fit for RAF flying crew but was rejected as not being up to educational standard. This is almost all of what survives of a journal he kept between March and November 1940, when he was eighteen years old, written in his home in Tooting and in the City of London where he worked. The journal was never intended for publication, it is only the youthful, untrained outpourings of a proud and totally insignificant Londoner. It spans what the Air Ministry was to call '...the Great Days from 8th August - 31st October 1940' and the fifty-seven nights when the bombing of London was unceasing. This is the period enshrined in our history as the Battle of Britain, the most momentous year for Britain in the twentieth century.

Radical Mainstream&nbsp;examines independent film and video cultures in Britain from the mid-1970s to the late 1980s in the context of struggles against capitalism, patriarchy, racism, colonialism, and homophobia, examining relations between counterpublics and social change.&nbsp;The book considers this period in order to examine the capacity for radical discourse to affect dominant cultural media forms, arguing that independent film- and video- makers helped transform television into a vital site of counterpublic discourse. &nbsp; The end of the twentieth century saw the development of new social models of film and video production and exhibition alongside the formation of new alliances to campaign for changes to social practice, policy, and legislature. Radical Mainstream explores the interrelation between public debate, institutions, and individuals, arguing that independent film and video in Britain at this time--including activist documentary, currents of counter-cinema, avant-garde film, and video art--were largely concerned with creating and circulating counterpublic discourses. The book traces the diversity of the influences on independent film and video, from socialist and liberation movements to popular radical histories and psychoanalytic and Marxist film theory. The account provides a historic backdrop to contemporary documentary and moving image work and illuminates the heritage of critical thinking within such practices.
