Books and Editions --> Journal of Aesthetics and Protest #5
We are great fans of ephemera produced by artists; books, posters, cds, catalolgs, we love the stuff. We make available items produced elsewhere that can be hard to find as well as items created for events held at the gallery. All prices include shipping within the United States. We'll be happy to send items out of the country - contact us and we'll figure out the additional cost.

An Atlas of Radical Cartography by the Journal of Aesthetics and Protest Press. Edited by Lex Bhagat and Lize Mogel. The Journal of Aesthetics and Protest, a self-proclaimed "weirdo thinktank" are now presenting books and projects created by other individuals and collectives. This item is one of these projects. An Atlas of Radical Cartography pairs artists, architects, designers, and collectives with writers in order to explore the map’s role as political agent. These (10) ten mapping projects and critical essays take on social and political issues from globalization to garbage. A list of the mappings include: An Architektur
/ Sebastian Cobarrubias, Maribel Casas-Cortes on migration in Europe. Center for Urban Pedagogy / Heather Rogers on garbage flows in New York
City. Ashley Hunt /
Avery Gordon on the global prison-industrial complex. Institute for
Applied Autonomy / Tad Hirsch on surveillance and “tactical
cartography”. Pedro Lasch / Alejandro DaCosta on migration in the Americas. Lize Mogel / Sarah Lewison on geography, gentrification, and globalization. Trevor Paglen & John
Emerson / Naeem Mohaiemen on extraordinary rendition. Brooke Singer / Kolya Abramsky on the contradictions of cheap energy in the
US. Jane Tsong / Jenny
Price, D.J. Waldie, et al, on human impacts on LA’s
water ecology. Unayyan / Jai Sen on mapping the unintended city in 1980s Calcutta The Atlas is made
up of a paperback book, ten individual maps that measure just under 17 x
just under 22". The maps collect into a slipcover that then, along with the
book, collects into the pink and green slipcover seen above. Some maps are
color, some black and white. Some designed on a computer, some drawn by hand.
The book contains the 10 essays that each partner with a map. A bit more
about this project can be found at http://an-atlas.com/ $30 for one issue includes postage.
