Confessions

GABRIELE TINTI & ANDRES SERRANO

Serrano is one of our era’s greatest American artists.

––THE NEW YORKER


Like archaeological ruins, [Tinti’s poems] stand complete, even as they sketch a past completeness that is, now, a far country.

––Fiona Sampson



A highly prized and rare artistic collaboration in which the renowned poet Gabriele Tinti and the world-famous artist Andres Serrano have produced a haunting meditation on religion, violence, and physicality.






Resistance to Christianity
RAOUL VANEIGEM

Nothing less than a complete historical account of the development of Christianity.

––Alastair J. Hemmens




Formidably erudite without ever drifting into dry scholasticism, Resistance to Christianity ranges from the origins of the Bible to the fraught doctrinal controversies of the fourth century to the Levellers and Jansenists of the early modern period, thereby revealing the too-little-known history that lies behind the modern world’s theological horizons.


No Politics But Class Politics

WALTER BENN MICHAELS & ADOLPH REED JR.

An exhilarating journey that swaps the orthodoxies of contemporary progressive culture for a class politics rooted in universalism.

—James Bloodworth



No Politics but Class Politics gathers together Reed and Michaels’s recent essays on inequality, along with a newly commissioned interview with the authors and an illuminating foreword by Daniel Zamora and Anton Jäger. Reed and Michaels make the case here for a genuinely radical politics: a politics which aspires not to the establishment of a demographically representative social elite, but instead to economic justice for everyone.




I Declare a Permanent State of Happiness

KENNETH GOLDSMITH


My entire poetic production is founded upon Wittgenstein’s later writings. Although it has sat on my shelf for decades, I never actually read the Tractatus. But I always loved the idea of it; I am a conceptual writer, after all.

––Kenneth Goldsmith



Written as a series of numbered propositions, Wittgenstein’s treatise is an ambitious attempt to elucidate the relationship of language to logic and to reality. Goldsmith’s response to the text is a testament to the highly distinctive artistic vision that characterizes all of his work. Inspired by the Tractatus but also boldly inventive, Goldsmith’s images reveal the breadth and depth not just of Wittgenstein’s genius, but also of the intervening artist’s creative fervor.
