The art of solitude : a meditation on being alone with others in this world / by Batchelor, Stephen,author.(CARDINAL)519783;

This beautiful literary collage documents his multifacted explorations. In a hyperconnected world that is simultaneously plagued by social isolation, he reminds us how to enjoy the inescapable solitude that is at the heart of human life." -- cover, p. [4].

Marking time : art in the age of mass incarceration / by Fleetwood, Nicole R.,author.(CARDINAL)849229;
Carceral aesthetics: penal space, time, and matter -- State goods: clandestine practices and prison art collectives -- Captured by the frame: photographic studies of prisoners -- Interior subjects: portraits by incarcerated̨̨ artists -- Fraught imaginaries: collaborative art in prison -- Art in solitary confinement -- Posing in prison: family photographs, practices of belonging, and carceral landscapes."More than two million men and women are currently behind bars in the United States. Incarceration not only separates the imprisoned from their families and communities, it also exposes them to shocking levels of violence and sexual assault and subjects them to the arbitrary cruelties of the criminal justice system. Yet, as Nicole Fleetwood reveals, America's prisons are filled with art. Despite the isolation and degradation they experience, the incarcerated are driven to assert their humanity in the face of a system that dehumanizes them. Based on interviews with currently and formerly incarcerated artists, prison visits, and the author's own family experiences with the penal system, Marking Time shows how the imprisoned turn ordinary objects into elaborate works of art. Working with meager supplies and in the harshest conditions-including solitary confinement-these artists find ways to resist the brutality and depravity that prisons engender. The impact of their art, Fleetwood observes, can be felt far beyond prison walls. Their bold works, many of which are being published for the first time in this volume, have opened new possibilities in American art. As the movement to reform the country's criminal justice system grows, art provides the imprisoned with a political voice. Their works testify to the economic and racial injustices that underpin American punishment and offer a new vision of freedom for the twenty-first century"--Includes bibliographical references and index.

Loner / by Young, Georgina,author.(CARDINAL)851908;
"Lona kills her days by sneaking into the dark room at her old art school to develop photographs. She kills her nights DJ-ing the roller disco at Planet Skate. She is in inexplicably, debilitatingly love with a bespectacled Doctor Who-obsessed former classmate, and in comfortable, platonic love with her best friend Tab. Lona works hard to portray a permanent attitude of cynicism and ennui but will her carefully constructed persona be enough to protect her from the inevitable sorrows and unexpected joys of adult life? Loner re-examines notions of social isolation experienced by young people, suggesting sometimes our own company can be a choice and not a failing."--Publisher description."Winner of the Text Prize."--Cover.
