Rab-Rab Press announces the publication of Free Jazz Communism, a new book actualising Archie Shepp–Bill Dixon Quartet at the 8th World Festival of Youth and Students in Helsinki 1962. Including archive material and documents, commissioned theoretical and historical texts, and interviews, the book edited by Sezgin Boynik and Taneli Viitahuhta contextualizes politics of free jazz music in light of global decolonisation movements, anti-war activism, structures of racial capitalism, and forms of avant-garde music.

Shows, Signals, Unvernehmen brings together fifteen years of art critic, curator, and artist Christian Egger’s writings, from 2005 to 2020. The texts include interviews with artists such as Jutta Koether, Amelie von Wulffen, and Gelitin, as well as reviews for magazines such as Camera Austria, Springerin, and Spike. This exemplary collection not only provides an overview of the exhibition practice of contemporary art production, primarily in Austria of that period, but also describes critical reflection and an intensive examination of the various varieties, tendencies, and protagonists of these years. More than this, the cumulative effect of the writings is to offer answers to how art provokes a response in the critic that he or she doesn’t understand but so sets out to understand.

The lecture took form as a loose conversation with professor Saúl Baeza, taking By Olsen’s past, present and future projects as points of departure to navigate freely through her thoughts, approaches and techniques. This conversation ended up taking somewhat of a retrospective look at the way By Olsen has manoeuvred through various projects and creative formulas, reconciling the realms of fashion, art and media, from a very early age onwards.
