Manuel DeLanda: ISM ISM
Manuel DeLanda: ISM ISM
$55.00
Economically downtrodden New York City in the 1970s was like the end of the world—but only if you chose to see it that way. For young artists running amok in the collapsing capitol, the possibilities seemed endless.
Manuel DeLanda, a Mexican transplant enrolled at the School of Visual Arts, saw the overcrowded sidewalks and decrepit subway stations as blank canvases for inspired mayhem.
Recognized today as a philosopher, professor, and author, DeLanda initially came to prominence as one of the premier experimental filmmakers of his generation.
While films like Raw Nerves: A Lacanian Thriller and Incontinence: A Diarrhetic Flow of Obvious Mismatches are certified underground classics, DeLanda’s visually striking, virtually unknown graffiti work (signed with the tag “ISM ISM”) has long remained more urban legend than legendary.
ISM ISM presents a comprehensive overview of DeLanda’s ephemeral street collages with a colorful frame-by-frame breakdown of a Super 8 short film completed in 1979 in order to document his sweetly subversive activities.
Extensive still images, an expansive interview, and copious contextual materials combine to illustrate the story of DeLanda’s aesthetic attack on 23rd Street, including his friendly competition with fellow artist-taggers Keith Haring and Jean-Michel Basquiat.

Dogs in Space: A Film Archive
Magazines & Photobooks
This title presents for the first time the candid (and entertaining) shoot diary kept by Lowenstein over the course of making 'Dogs in Space' between 1984 and 1987.
This volume showcases never-before-seen contact sheets, wardrobe polaroids and a collection of images from on set and behind the scenes. The book also features a selection of memorabilia and extracts from previously inaccessible reviews and articles about the film.
With humour and a distinct understanding of music, fashion and Melbourne in the early 1980s this book provides rare insights into the processes involved in actually making a film. It concludes with a brief reflection from Lowenstein, fresh from completing Mystify, his searing documentary on the life of Hutchence, on what has changed in filmmaking and what hasn’t over the past thirty years.
