A Reader on the Winter of Protest</em>, a collection of writing from and about the wave of student and anti-cuts protests and occupations that took place in London in late 2010. Editor Dan Hancox has brought together an impressive selection of essays and contributors in an extremely short space of time, with writing from newspaper columnists and theorists alongside that of students and campaigners, and with publishing and editorial support from openDemocray\'s UK blog, <a href=\"http://www.opendemocracy.net/ourkingdom\">OurKingdom</a>.\n\nThere\'s a section about the aesthetics of protest, and SA readers might be particularly intrigued by the accompanying <a href=\"http://culturalstudiesresearch.org/?p=656\">seminar</a> that\'s taking place on 2 March at UEL, The Art of Protest. Writers Hancox, Jesse Darling and Adam Harper will discuss the music and art of the movement with Steve Goodman, author of <em>Sonic Warfare: sound, affect &amp; the ecology of fear.</em>\n\n<em>Fight Back! </em>is downloadable <a href=\"http://www.opendemocracy.net/ourkingdom/ourkingdom/fight-back-reader-on-winter-of-protest\">here</a> at openDemocracy, and is also available for <a href=\"http://www.amazon.co.uk/Fight-Back/dp/B004OR1OG4/ref=sr_1_10?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1298545630&amp;sr=8-10\">Kindle</a>.','Fight Back!

We admire the creativity of electronic artists like David Tudor or Louis and Bebe Barron because it thrived on setting up sprawling situations and seeing what would happen (quite antithetical to the pursuit of ever-more-precise control or standardization of equipment). I’d say that we fit in with the homegrown aspect of their approach, that made instrument-making a part of composing music.</em>\n\nFull interview at<a href=\"http://www.artocratic.com/interviews/dewan1.html\" target=\"_blank\"> Artocratic</a>, via <a href=\"http://www.techgnosis.com\" target=\"_blank\">Erik Davis</a>','Dewanatron interview','','inherit','open','open','','2997-revision-3','','','2011-02-01 09:49:52','2011-02-01 09:49:52','',2997,'http://strangeattractor.co.uk/further/2997-revision-3/',0,'revision','',0),(3011,2,'2011-01-31 19:05:45','2011-01-31 19:05:45','<a href=\"http://strangeattractor.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/Weird-Tales-for-Winter-2011.jpg\"><img class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-3002\" title=\"Weird Tales for Winter 2011\" src=\"http://strangeattractor.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/Weird-Tales-for-Winter-2011-240x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"240\" height=\"300\" /></a>\r\n\r\nThe second series of <a href=\"http://exoticpylon.com/weirdtales.me/\">Weird Tales For Winter</a> is underway this week on <a href=\"http://www.resonancefm.com\">Resonance FM</a>, with classic creepy tales and haunted audio hosted by Jonny Mugwump of the <a href=\"http://exoticpylon.com/pages/main%20hub.htm\">Exotic Pylon</a> radio show and club night.\r\n\r\n<em>\'Weird Tales for Winter is an invitation  to enjoy a psychic communal experience - eight sonic portals to familiar  worlds collapsing on the margins of the uncanny...\'</em>\r\n\r\nMixing spoken word with electronic music, the series kicked off over the weekend with William Hope Hodgson\'s <em>The Gateway of the Monster</em> soundtracked by <a href=\"http://www.ghostbox.co.uk/\">Ghost Box</a> alumni The Advisory Circle and Moon Wiring Club; the story concludes tonight at the witching hour.\r\n\r\nLater in the week there\'s more Hope Hodgson, this time with Ensemble Economique and the Outer Church providing the music for the classic <em>House on the Borderland</em>, as well as guest mixes by Jonny Trunk and Mark Fisher, and tales by MR James, Hans Christian Andersen and WF Harvey.

This ambiguity wasals0  the key to what makes Grant\'s writings so effective as magickal texts; like fellow slipstream author <a href=\"http://www.johnkeel.com/\" target=\"_blank\">John Keel</a> working in more fortean realms, it\'s often difficult to discern where reality ends and the imaginal begins. The usual checkpoints have been overrun by slithering, crawling, pullulating things...

Grant was the last living link to both Aleister Crowley and <a href=\"http://strangeattractor.co.uk/shoppe/austin-osman-spare/\" target=\"_blank\">Austin Osman Spare</a>, and played a central role in developing the lore surrounding both men.\r\n\r\nDeeply influenced by weird fiction authors including Sax Rohmer and HP Lovecraft, Grant had an uncanny knack for generating mystery, which he made good use of in his \'non-fiction\' occult works, but was perhaps better suited to the eldritch tales that so inspired him.\r\n\r\nSuch ambiguity is also the key to what makes Grant\'s writings such effective magickal texts; like fellow slipstream author <a href=\"http://www.johnkeel.com/\" target=\"_blank\">John Keel</a> working in more fortean realms, it\'s often difficult to discern where reality ends and the imaginal begins. The usual checkpoints have been overrun by slithering, crawling, pullulating things... As others have noted, Grant was a powerful surrealist who used the medium of pulp literature to work his magic. Whatever one may feel about his writing, there can be no denying that Grant was a pivotal figure in late 20th century occultism, and his legacy is unlikely to diminish in his afterlife.\r\n\r\nGrant\'s ideas about the ancient Chinese poisoning cult of <em>Ku</em> is the focus of an essay in <a href=\"http://strangeattractor.co.uk/books/strange-attractor-journal-four/\" target=\"_blank\"><em>Strange Attractor Journal Four</em></a> by Andy Sharp and Phil Legard. A fantastic appraisal of Grant and his work by Alan Moore appeared in Joel Biroco\'s <em>Kaos 14</em> (2002), which is available as a PDF download <a href=\"http://biroco.com/kaos/kaos14.html\" target=\"_blank\">here</a>.\r\n\r\nFrom his publisher Starfire\'s <a href=\"http://www.starfirepublishing.co.uk/\" target=\"_blank\">web site</a>:\r\n\r\n<em>Kenneth Grant died on 15th January 2011 after a period of illness. Our condolences go first and foremost to his family, whose privacy is something which we all wish to respect at this difficult time.</em>\r\n\r\n<em>Kenneth Grant had an extraordinary life, and his work has a remarkable depth and breadth of magical and mystical insight. In particular, his monumental series of Typhonian Trilogies is creative, innovatory and inspiring, extending across thirty years from the publication of the opening volume </em>The Magical Revival<em> in 1972, to the appearance of the final volume </em>The Ninth Arch <em>in 2002.

Pumped through towering, home-built speakers, often directly onto the thronged streets of events like the Notting Hill Carnival, the pulsating bass lines of reggae, dub, rave, jungle, trip hop, dubstep, and grime have shaped the worlds of several generations of British youth culture but have often been overlooked by historians obsessed with swinging London, punk, and Britpop.\r\n\r\nThis oral history, consisting of new interviews conducted by respected dance music writer Joe Muggs, and accompanied by dramatic portraits by Brian David Stevens, presents the story of the bassline of Britain, in the words of those who lived and shaped it. Features interviews with Dubmaster Dennis Bovell, Norman Jay MPE, Youth, Adrian Sherwood, Skream, Rinse FM\'s Sarah Lockhart and many others.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"caret-color: #000000;\"><b> </b></span></span>\r\n\r\n</div>\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n</div>\r\n</div>','Bass, Mids, Tops','An Oral History of Sound System Culture\r\n\r\nby Joe Muggs & Brian David Stevens\r\n500pp (approx) heavily illustrated \r\n151mm x 229mm,  £25.00','inherit','closed','closed','','6363-revision-v1','','','2019-08-15 16:06:30','2019-08-15 16:06:30','',6363,'http://strangeattractor.co.uk/news/6363-revision-v1/',0,'revision','',0),(3112,2,'2011-02-17 10:20:19','2011-02-17 10:20:19','<a href=\"http://strangeattractor.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/Cup-made-from-a-human-sku-007.jpg\"><img class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-3113\" title=\"Cup-made-from-a-human-sku-007\" src=\"http://strangeattractor.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/Cup-made-from-a-human-sku-007-300x180.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"180\" /></a>The Guardian reports today on a recent study that claims skull fragments found in Gough Cave in Cheddar Gorge, Somerset, are among the oldest examples found of skull cups.\r\n\r\nThe cups are around 14,700 years old, from the end of the Ice Age, and are said to be carefully shaped and prepared - de-fleshing a skull was \"a skilled and lengthy business\", says one palaeontologist - but whether they were used for rituals or more functional means isn\'t clear.

Hollings’ acausal roller coaster is cumulative, gathering aesthetic and imaginative potency with each chapter.

Its influence reaches across the spectrum of alternative music, from psychedelia, prog, and punk, through industrial, electronica, and stoner rock. Hawkwind has been variously, if erroneously, positioned as the heir to both Pink Floyd and the Velvet Underground, and as Britain\'s answer to the Grateful Dead and Krautrock. It has defined a genre—space rock—while operating on a frequency that\'s uniquely its own.\r\n\r\nHawkwind offered a form of radical escapism and an alternative account of a strange new world for a generation of young people growing up on a planet that seemed to be teetering on the brink of destruction, under threat from economic meltdown, industrial unrest, and political polarisation. While other commentators confidently asserted that the countercultural experiment of the 1960s was over, Hawkwind took the underground to the provinces and beyond.\r\n\r\nIn <i>Days of the Underground</i>, Joe Banks repositions Hawkwind as one of the most innovative and culturally significant bands of the 1970s. It\'s not an easy task. As with many bands of this era, a lazy narrative has built up around Hawkwind that doesn\'t do justice to the breadth of its ambition and achievements. Banks gives the lie to the popular perception of Hawkwind as one long lysergic soap opera; with <i>Days of the Underground</i>, he shows us just how revolutionary Hawkwind were and their ongoing legacy\'s incendiary potential.\r\n\r\n<em><strong>SPECIAL EDITION DETAILS:</strong></em>\r\n\r\n– Hardback edition limited to 500 copies\r\n\r\n<em>– BONUS BOOK:  Sideways Through Time: An Oral History Of Hawkwind In The 1970s\r\n</em>A 200-page companion volume of interviews, including DikMik, Nik Turner, Michael Moorcock, Stacia Blake, Alan Powell, Paul Rudolph, Adrian Shaw, Paul Hayles, Harvey Bainbridge, Andrew Lauder, Doug Smith, Jeff Dexter, Jonathan Smeeton, Renée Berg, Michael Butterworth, and Pamela Townley\r\n\r\n– A print of Michael Moorcock &amp; Jim Cawthorn’s ‘Sonic Assassins’ comic strip from <em>Frendz</em>\r\n\r\n– Postcards featuring unseen photographs from the ‘Space Ritual’ shoot by Laurie Lewis\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https://strangeattractor.greedbag.com/buy/hawkwind-days-of-the-underground/\">PRE-ORDER HERE</a>\r\n\r\n</div>\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n</div>\r\n</div>','Hawkwind: Days of the Underground','Radical Escapism in the Age Of Paranoia\r\n£22 / £50 (special edition with print, cards and bonus book)','inherit','closed','closed','','6377-revision-v1','','','2019-08-29 10:44:49','2019-08-29 10:44:49','',6377,'http://strangeattractor.co.uk/news/6377-revision-v1/',0,'revision','',0),(6397,2,'2019-09-02 13:52:52','2019-09-02 13:52:52','<h2><strong><a href=\"https://strangeattractor.greedbag.com/buy/of-mud-and-flame/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-6398\"><img class=\"alignright wp-image-6398\" src=\"http://strangeattractor.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2019/09/MudFlame.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"383\" height=\"540\" /></a></strong><strong><em>Of Mud &amp; Flame</em>\r\n<em>A Penda\'s Fen Sourcebook</em></strong></h2>\r\n<strong>Edited by Matthew Harle and James Machin</strong>\r\n\r\n<strong>PB 368pp </strong>\r\n<strong>210mm x 147mm</strong>\r\n<strong>Approx 60 images</strong>\r\n<strong>£16.99</strong>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><a style=\"color: #ff0000;\" href=\"https://strangeattractor.greedbag.com/buy/of-mud-and-flame/\">ORDER HERE</a></span>\r\n\r\n<i>Child be strange, dark, true, impure and dissonant.

At the time Maurice was elusive and I was unable to track him down, but he\'s now back in the public eye with articles in both <em><a href=\"http://www.forteantimes.com\">Fortean Times</a></em> magazine and the <a href=\"http://www.telegraph.co.uk/technology/5158972/Starlite-the-nuclear-blast-defying-plastic-that-could-change-the-world.html\">Daily Telegraph</a>.\n\nWard\'s story is as uplifting as it is demoralising, a genuine case of a backyard boffin making a potentially world-changing discovery but seemingly lacking the commercial nous or legal fortitude to get it off the ground.\n\nPart of the problem seems to have been that Starlite even puzzled the engineers and scientists who studied it.

At the time Maurice was elusive and I was unable to track him down, but he\'s now back in the public eye with articles in both <em><a href=\"http://www.forteantimes.com\">Fortean Times</a></em> magazine and the <a href=\"http://www.telegraph.co.uk/technology/5158972/Starlite-the-nuclear-blast-defying-plastic-that-could-change-the-world.html\">Daily Telegraph</a>.\r\n\r\nWard\'s story is as uplifting as it is demoralising, a genuine case of a backyard boffin making a potentially world-changing discovery but seemingly lacking the commercial nous or legal fortitude to get it off the ground.\r\n\r\nPart of the problem seems to have been that Starlite even puzzled the engineers and scientists who studied it. As Professor Keith Lewis, who tested Starlite for the MOD in 1993 told the <em>Telegraph</em>\'s reporter:\r\n\r\n<em>Starlite \'had unique properties which appeared to be very different to other forms of thermal barrier material available at the time.\' It wasn\'t clear how Starlite worked: was it diffusing the heat?

Each setting provoked a different approach. The collaboration with Ulver at the Norwegian Opera house in Oslo was well documented but this particular version, composed for the exhibition of his Stab Wounds at the Horse Hospital gallery in Bloomsbury, has been resting dormant until now.\r\n\r\nThe second piece was a commission for The Place theatre, also in Bloomsbury. An unfinished piece of choreography with dancer and vocalist Francois Testory. Like all of Ian’s work, this was a singular vision probing the human condition and meticulously scratching for truth under every surface.\"\r\n\r\n<strong>About Ian Johnstone\r\n</strong>\'Ian was artist of unimaginable talent and vision, articulated in his singular and exquisite aesthetic which was manifest in all he touched... he was charismatically irreverent, compelling to watch and to listen to and bottomlessly soulful.\' <strong>The Horse Hospital</strong><strong>\r\n</strong>\r\n<div>\r\n\r\nAs well as his own incredible work in sculpture, drawing, painting and performance, Ian collaborated on designs, costumes and performances with  musicians including Coil, Daniel O\'Sullivan, James B Hollands, Mothlite Francois Testory and Ulver.\r\n\r\nIan was a long time friend of Strange Attractor and we were working with him on this book when he died unexpectedly in 2015.\r\n\r\n</div>\r\n<strong><a href=\"https://strangeattractor.greedbag.com/buy/the-23-stab-wounds-of-julius-cae/\">ORDER HERE</a></strong>','The 23 Stab Wounds of Julius Caesar','Artworks by Ian Johnstone.

Its influence reaches across the spectrum of alternative music, from psychedelia, prog, and punk, through industrial, electronica, and stoner rock. Hawkwind has been variously, if erroneously, positioned as the heir to both Pink Floyd and the Velvet Underground, and as Britain\'s answer to the Grateful Dead and Krautrock. It has defined a genre—space rock—while operating on a frequency that\'s uniquely its own.\r\n\r\nHawkwind offered a form of radical escapism and an alternative account of a strange new world for a generation of young people growing up on a planet that seemed to be teetering on the brink of destruction, under threat from economic meltdown, industrial unrest, and political polarisation. While other commentators confidently asserted that the countercultural experiment of the 1960s was over, Hawkwind took the underground to the provinces and beyond.\r\n\r\nIn <i>Days of the Underground</i>, Joe Banks repositions Hawkwind as one of the most innovative and culturally significant bands of the 1970s. It\'s not an easy task. As with many bands of this era, a lazy narrative has built up around Hawkwind that doesn\'t do justice to the breadth of its ambition and achievements. Banks gives the lie to the popular perception of Hawkwind as one long lysergic soap opera; with <i>Days of the Underground</i>, he shows us just how revolutionary Hawkwind were and their ongoing legacy\'s incendiary potential.\r\n\r\n<em><strong>SPECIAL EDITION DETAILS:</strong></em>\r\n\r\n– Hardback edition limited to 500 copies\r\n\r\n<em>– BONUS BOOK:  Sideways Through Time: An Oral History Of Hawkwind In The 1970s\r\n</em>A 200-page companion volume of interviews, including DikMik, Nik Turner, Michael Moorcock, Stacia Blake, Alan Powell, Paul Rudolph, Adrian Shaw, Paul Hayles, Harvey Bainbridge, Andrew Lauder, Doug Smith, Jeff Dexter, Jonathan Smeeton, Renée Berg, Michael Butterworth, and Pamela Townley\r\n\r\n– A print of Michael Moorcock &amp; Jim Cawthorn’s ‘Sonic Assassins’ comic strip from <em>Frendz</em>\r\n\r\n– Postcards featuring unseen photographs from the ‘Space Ritual’ shoot by Laurie Lewis\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https://strangeattractor.greedbag.com/buy/hawkwind-days-of-the-underground/\">PRE-ORDER HERE</a>\r\n\r\n</div>\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n</div>\r\n</div>','Hawkwind: Days of the Underground','Radical Escapism in the Age Of Paranoia\r\n£22 / £50 (special edition with print, cards and bonus book)','inherit','closed','closed','','6377-revision-v1','','','2019-08-29 10:21:49','2019-08-29 10:21:49','',6377,'http://strangeattractor.co.uk/news/6377-revision-v1/',0,'revision','',0),(3167,2,'2011-02-28 17:14:06','2011-02-28 17:14:06','<img class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-3049\" title=\"coverweb\" src=\"http://strangeattractor.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/coverweb.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"318\" height=\"316\" />\r\n\r\n<strong>By Cathy Ward and Eric Wright\r\n£19.99, full colour, PB, 120pp\r\n</strong><strong>ISBN 9781907222047</strong>\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.galerietoxic.com/\" target=\"_blank\">Galerie Toxic</a>, Luxembourg, and Strange Attractor Press present <em>Tender Vessels</em>, a book of new mixed-media work by Cathy Ward and Eric Wright; with text by Doug Harvey and Mark Pilkington.\r\n\r\n<em>With their honoring of folkloric aesthetic vocabularies, their non-oppositional encompassing of complex, verbally-based literary and philosophical realms and love of shiny things, their history of collaborative social experiment and advocacy for the viability of small-scale group politics (both in their own work and within their communities), and their productive model of sensory-grounded human intellect that recognizes its continuity with the rest of nature, Catharyne Ward and Eric Wright have, in Tender Vessels offered a walk-through manifesto for the future of art, and the components for a makeshift coffin-raft to carry us to the next shore. </em>From the accompanying essay by Doug Harvey\r\n\r\n<em> </em>\r\n<div id=\"_mcePaste\"><strong>\r\n</strong></div>\r\n<div><span style=\"font-size: 14px; line-height: 24px;\"><strong>ABOUT THE ARTISTS\r\nCathy Ward</strong> </span> was born in Ashford, Kent, England.

Its influence reaches across the spectrum of alternative music, from psychedelia, prog, and punk, through industrial, electronica, and stoner rock. Hawkwind has been variously, if erroneously, positioned as the heir to both Pink Floyd and the Velvet Underground, and as Britain\'s answer to the Grateful Dead and Krautrock. It has defined a genre—space rock—while operating on a frequency that\'s uniquely its own.\r\n\r\nHawkwind offered a form of radical escapism and an alternative account of a strange new world for a generation of young people growing up on a planet that seemed to be teetering on the brink of destruction, under threat from economic meltdown, industrial unrest, and political polarisation. While other commentators confidently asserted that the countercultural experiment of the 1960s was over, Hawkwind took the underground to the provinces and beyond.\r\n\r\nIn <i>Days of the Underground</i>, Joe Banks repositions Hawkwind as one of the most innovative and culturally significant bands of the 1970s. It\'s not an easy task. As with many bands of this era, a lazy narrative has built up around Hawkwind that doesn\'t do justice to the breadth of its ambition and achievements. Banks gives the lie to the popular perception of Hawkwind as one long lysergic soap opera; with <i>Days of the Underground</i>, he shows us just how revolutionary Hawkwind were and their ongoing legacy\'s incendiary potential.\r\n\r\n<em><strong>SPECIAL EDITION DETAILS:</strong></em>\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li>Hardback edition limited to 500 copies</li>\r\n 	<li><em>BONUS BOOK:  Sideways Through Time: An Oral History Of Hawkwind In The 1970s</em>– a 200-page companion volume of interviews, including DikMik, Nik Turner, Michael Moorcock, Stacia Blake, Alan Powell, Paul Rudolph, Adrian Shaw, Paul Hayles, Harvey Bainbridge, Andrew Lauder, Doug Smith, Jeff Dexter, Jonathan Smeeton, Renée Berg, Michael Butterworth, and Pamela Townley (Robert Calvert’s second wife)</li>\r\n 	<li>A print of Michael Moorcock &amp; Jim Cawthorn’s ‘Sonic Assassins’ comic strip from <em>Frendz</em></li>\r\n 	<li>Postcards featuring unseen photographs from the ‘Space Ritual’ shoot by Laurie Lewis</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n<a href=\"https://strangeattractor.greedbag.com/buy/hawkwind-days-of-the-underground/\">PRE-ORDER HERE</a>\r\n\r\n</div>\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n</div>\r\n</div>','Hawkwind: Days of the Underground','Radical Escapism in the Age Of Paranoia\r\n£22 / £50 (special edition with print, cards and bonus book)','inherit','closed','closed','','6377-revision-v1','','','2019-08-29 10:00:10','2019-08-29 10:00:10','',6377,'http://strangeattractor.co.uk/news/6377-revision-v1/',0,'revision','',0),(3174,2,'2011-03-01 13:33:35','2011-03-01 13:33:35','<img class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-3049\" title=\"coverweb\" src=\"http://strangeattractor.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/coverweb.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"318\" height=\"316\" />\r\n\r\n<strong>By Cathy Ward and Eric Wright\r\n£19.99, full colour, PB, 120pp\r\n</strong><strong>ISBN 9781907222047</strong>\r\n\r\n<form action=\"https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr\" method=\"post\"><input name=\"cmd\" type=\"hidden\" value=\"_s-xclick\" /> <input name=\"hosted_button_id\" type=\"hidden\" value=\"7YWM5MMXEJBP2\" />\r\n<table>\r\n<tbody>\r\n<tr>\r\n<td><input name=\"on0\" type=\"hidden\" value=\"Postal Options\" />Postal Options</td>\r\n</tr>\r\n<tr>\r\n<td><select name=\"os0\"> <option value=\"UK\">UK £19.99</option> <option value=\"EU\">EU £22.99</option> <option value=\"ROW Surface\">ROW Surface £24.99</option> <option value=\"ROW AIR\">ROW AIR £26.99</option> </select></td>\r\n</tr>\r\n</tbody>\r\n</table>\r\n<input name=\"currency_code\" type=\"hidden\" value=\"GBP\" /> <input alt=\"PayPal - The safer, easier way to pay online.\" name=\"submit\" src=\"https://www.paypal.com/en_GB/i/btn/btn_cart_LG.gif\" type=\"image\" /> <img src=\"https://www.paypal.com/en_GB/i/scr/pixel.gif\" border=\"0\" alt=\"\" width=\"1\" height=\"1\" />\r\n\r\n</form><a href=\"http://www.galerietoxic.com/\" target=\"_blank\">Galerie Toxic</a>, Luxembourg, and Strange Attractor Press present <em>Tender Vessels</em>, a book of new mixed-media work by Cathy Ward and Eric Wright; with text by Doug Harvey and Mark Pilkington.\r\n\r\n<em>With their honoring of folkloric aesthetic vocabularies, their non-oppositional encompassing of complex, verbally-based literary and philosophical realms and love of shiny things, their history of collaborative social experiment and advocacy for the viability of small-scale group politics (both in their own work and within their communities), and their productive model of sensory-grounded human intellect that recognizes its continuity with the rest of nature, Catharyne Ward and Eric Wright have, in Tender Vessels offered a walk-through manifesto for the future of art, and the components for a makeshift coffin-raft to carry us to the next shore. </em>From the accompanying essay by Doug Harvey\r\n\r\nMore info at <a href=\"http://ward-wright.com\" target=\"_blank\">Ward-Wright.com</a>\r\n\r\n<em> </em>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-size: 14px; line-height: 24px;\"><strong>ABOUT THE ARTISTS</strong>\r\n<span style=\"font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px;\">\r\n<strong>Cathy Ward</strong></span><span style=\"font-size: 16px; font-weight: normal; line-height: 24px;\"> was born in Ashford, Kent, England.
