Work / Art Anthony Gerace presents “And Another Thing …”: a new book of artworks and collages

Artist Anthony Gerace presents his new monograph And Another Thing… a collection of artworks and collages spanning the last seven years. The book, published by Ain’t Bad editions, contains 128 pages of work and is printed in a limited run of 700 copies. “What I wanted to do with this book was present where the work was going and the work I have been dealing with for a long time,” the artist explains. The book contains collages executed with precision and control, providing a wealth of information that can be interpreted at speed, or carefully picked apart and decoded. Each work is unified by a precision and depth that demands attention from the reader.

Work / Publication Caña celebrates the humble pint

The man behind design/travel site we-heart.com James Davidson got in contact to tell us about Caña, a soon-to-launched independent print magazine with an accompanying exhibition to open in Barcelona next week. Caña plots the relationship of the humble pint and the creative world. “I have always loved beer, long before the craft beer explosion I was drinking real ale, warm and cloudy – naturally, the craft beer thing swept me up and when I moved to Barcelona three years ago, I befriended the guys behind a fledgling brewery and the obsession grew exponentially,” James explains. Caña is also the brainchild of Derby-based developer and long-time collaborator John Wilson.

Work / Publication Musician and collector Paul Major’s rare record covers and DIY ephemera collated together in new book

Paul Major is the frontman of New York, no-frills rock band Endless Boogie, which formed in 1997 in Brooklyn. While he’s known as an “underground rock and roller”, Paul is a pioneering record collector and his influence has been relatively unsung until now. In a new book titled, Feel the Music: The Psychedelic Worlds of Paul Major, published by Anthology Editions, readers are set to be taken on a wild ride that rectifies this, starting with his early days in the midwest of America, followed by his years spent in the New York punk scene, most notably as part of the metal band the Sorcerers.

Originally published by INRUSSIA is an essay from that book by UC Berkeley anthropology professor Alexei Yurchak. "Gagarin and the Rave Kids” leads us through the movement with painstaking detail.

Work / Publication Le Gun returns with a new mag about “a world gone mad”

Le Gun, the irreverent illustrative art collective, are back in the publishing game. “Brace yourselves!” says its Kickstarter (which fulfilled its campaign thanks to 300 backers). “After a sojourn in the wilderness the time has come for a new issue of Le Gun to rise like an ink-stained phoenix from the cultural miasma.” To celebrate the collective’s success and upcoming new issue, which will again feature submissions “from anybody, anywhere”, It’s Nice That caught up with the collective to find out where they have been and what’s coming next…
h3. You’re back! Where have you been and what have you been up to?
