Ramblings of a Wannabe Painter


Book Description

“Criticism is our censorship . . .” So begins one of the greatest invectives against criticism ever written by an artist. Paul Gauguin wrote “Racontars de rapin” only months before he died in 1903, but the essay remained unpublished until 1951. Through discussions of numerous artists, both his contemporaries and predecessors, Gauguin unpacks what he viewed as the mistakes and misjudgments behind much of art criticism, revealing not only how wrong critics’ interpretations have been, but also what it would mean to approach art properly—to really look. Long out of print, this new translation by Donatien Grau includes an introduction that situates the essay within Gauguin’s written oeuvre, as well as explanatory notes. This text sheds light on Gauguin’s conception of art—widely considered a predecessor to Duchamp—and engages with many issues still relevant today: history, novelty, criticism, and the market. His voice feels as fresh, lively, sharp in English now as it did in French over one hundred years ago. Through Gauguin’s final piece of writing, we see the artist in the full throes of passion—for his work, for his art, for the art of others, and against anyone who would stand in his way. As the inaugural publication in David Zwirner Books’s new ekphrasis reader series, Ramblings of a Wannabe Painter sets a perfect tone for the books to come. Poised between writing, art, and criticism, Gauguin brings together many different worlds, all of which should have a seat at the table during any meaningful discussion of art. With the express hope of encouraging open exchange between the world of writing and that of the visual arts, David Zwirner Books is proud to present this new edition of a lost masterpiece.




The Technical Delusion


Book Description

Delusions of electronic persecution have been a preeminent symptom of psychosis for over two hundred years. In The Technical Delusion Jeffrey Sconce traces the history and continuing proliferation of this phenomenon from its origins in Enlightenment anatomy to our era of global interconnectivity. While psychiatrists have typically dismissed such delusions of electronic control as arbitrary or as mere reflections of modern life, Sconce demonstrates a more complex and interdependent history of electronics, power, and insanity. Drawing on a wide array of psychological case studies, literature, court cases, and popular media, Sconce analyzes the material and social processes that have shaped historical delusions of electronic contamination, implantation, telepathy, surveillance, and immersion. From the age of telegraphy to contemporary digitality, the media emerged within such delusions to become the privileged site for imagining the merger of electronic and political power, serving as a paranoid conduit between the body and the body politic. Looking to the future, Sconce argues that this symptom will become increasingly difficult to isolate, especially as remote and often secretive powers work to further integrate bodies, electronics, and information.




Targeted Individuals: The Radiohead Protocol


Book Description

For the past 60 years, there have been a lot of desperate people on the planet who claim to be targeted by a sinister government plot to torture and harass them. These people are known as Targeted Individuals (TIs). Targeted Individuals claim to hear disembodied voices in their heads and experience severe physiological discomfiture, such as mind- and body-control at the hands of their attackers – so-called “Perpetrators” – a breed of human beings known to ruthlessly torture their victims, the Targeted Individuals, and electronically control them using remote radio frequencies and satellite terrorism. The act of hearing voices that are not there is called V2k, or “Voice-to-Skull”, in the vernacular. It is a continuous nightmare for the millions of Targeted Individuals who are subjected to it; an incurable condition that, once acquired, is a lifelong sentence of neverending horror and torture that is as indescribable as it is inhumane. “The Radiohead Protocol”, the third book in the V2k trilogy of books that started several years ago with “The 7 Keys to V2k” and “The Truth Will Set You Free”, is the definitive response to long-unanswered questions about V2k, the book that lifts the lid off the entire mind-control industry run by the Perpetrators in the United States and the rest of the world. “The Radiohead Protocol” addresses vital subjects such as, where does V2k/mind-control come from? How did we come to be V2k/mind-controlled? How is V2k/mind-control administered? And of course, the biggest question of all: How do we, as Targeted Individuals, free ourselves from it? Definitive answers could not be found in the 20th and early 21st centuries. But at last, the information has become available: the secrets of electromagnetic mind-control – V2k or Voice-to-Skull – are no longer the insufferable mystery (or misery) that they once were, thanks to the trilogy series including “The Radiohead Protocol”, the final instalment. It takes the reader on a journey to the past, to witness the very creation of V2k by the inventor of electromagnetic mind-control. He was not only a founding father of the New Age movement in the mid to late 20th Century, but a member of the Military Industrial Complex; an academic with a special interest in reading other people’s minds; a lifelong ambition which he managed to fulfil during his industrious career. Far from being a footnote in history, the inventor of V2k went on to patent his mind-controlling invention and then table it as a major electromagnetic mind-control project of the US government. Indeed, the invention was perfected as a psychological warfare program for the Pentagon in the 1950s. “The Radiohead Protocol” is essentially the unauthorized biography of the inventor of V2k/mind-control, who subjected millions of Targeted Individuals to a lifetime of mental slavery and unimaginable suffering after he researched on non-consenting subjects and then went on to exercise Electronic Harassment and mind-control indiscriminately on victims with devastating effects. The book then returns readers to the present, where the so-called Perpetrators currently use the very same mind-control program – created by the inventor so many decades ago – to ruthlessly torture and harass victims in their own homes and minds, as if enough wasn’t enough, already. “The Radiohead Protocol” is the most uncompromising book ever written on the subject of 21st Century V2k/mind-control, and the only honest information that stands between victims of this heinous crime against humanity and a growing number of aggressive Perpetrators who use the invention to create pandemonium in the community...

Sigh, Gone


Book Description

For anyone who has ever felt like they don't belong, Sigh, Gone shares an irreverent, funny, and moving tale of displacement and assimilation woven together with poignant themes from beloved works of classic literature. In 1975, during the fall of Saigon, Phuc Tran immigrates to America along with his family. By sheer chance they land in Carlisle, Pennsylvania, a small town where the Trans struggle to assimilate into their new life. In this coming-of-age memoir told through the themes of great books such as The Metamorphosis, The Scarlet Letter, The Iliad, and more, Tran navigates the push and pull of finding and accepting himself despite the challenges of immigration, feelings of isolation, and teenage rebellion, all while attempting to meet the rigid expectations set by his immigrant parents. Appealing to fans of coming-of-age memoirs such as Fresh Off the Boat, Running with Scissors, or tales of assimilation like Viet Thanh Nguyen's The Displaced and The Refugees, Sigh, Gone explores one man’s bewildering experiences of abuse, racism, and tragedy and reveals redemption and connection in books and punk rock. Against the hairspray-and-synthesizer backdrop of the ‘80s, he finds solace and kinship in the wisdom of classic literature, and in the subculture of punk rock, he finds affirmation and echoes of his disaffection. In his journey for self-discovery Tran ultimately finds refuge and inspiration in the art that shapes—and ultimately saves—him.

Chameleo


Book Description

A mesmerizing mix of Charles Bukowski, Hunter S. Thompson, and Philip K. Dick, Chameleo is a true account of what happened in a seedy Southern California town when an enthusiastic and unrepentant heroin addict named Dion Fuller sheltered a U.S. Marine who’d stolen night vision goggles and perhaps a few top secret files from a nearby military base. Dion found himself arrested (under the ostensible auspices of The Patriot Act) for conspiring with international terrorists to smuggle Top Secret military equipment out of Camp Pendleton. The fact that Dion had absolutely nothing to do with international terrorists, smuggling, Top Secret military equipment, or Camp Pendleton didn’t seem to bother the military. He was released from jail after a six-day-long Abu-Ghraib-style interrogation. Subsequently, he believed himself under intense government scrutiny — and, he suspected, the subject of bizarre experimentation involving “cloaking”— electro-optical camouflage so extreme it renders observers practically invisible from a distance of some meters — by the Department of Homeland Security. Hallucination? Perhaps — except Robert Guffey, an English teacher and Dion’s friend, tracked down and interviewed one of the scientists behind the project codenamed “Chameleo,” experimental technology which appears to have been stolen by the U.S. Department of Defense and deployed on American soil. More shocking still, Guffey discovered that the DoD has been experimenting with its newest technologies on a number of American citizens. A condensed version of this story was the cover feature of Fortean Times Magazine (September 2013).
