siglio's newest release
  Originating in an ancient spiritual tradition with an uncanny affinity to twentieth century art, the rare Tantric paintings from Rajasthan in Tantra Song are works of magnetic beauty used to awaken heightened states of consciousness in the adepts who paint them and use them for meditation. In the uninitiated, they inspire acute attention and the potential for boundless contemplation. A singular and revelatory collection edited by acclaimed poet Franck André Jamme who has had access to these very private communities of tantrikas for over two decades, Tantra Song is a convergence of East and West, the spiritual and the aesthetic, the ancient and the modern. Release: October 27. the pleasure is in the reading: recent titles
 Nancy Princenthal, ART IN PRINT: Learning to read art, as Lawrence Weiner long ago exhorted, is not a simple process. Where the textual meets the visual, demands outnumber easy pleasures. It Is Almost That is rich in both challenge and satisfaction. . . . This collection of “twenty-six visionary image+text works by women artists and writers,” in the words of its publisher and editor, Lisa Pearson of Siglio Press, is, as she promises, not a traditional anthology. Contributors include: Eleanor Antin, Fiona Banner, Louise Bourgeois, Theresa Hak Kyung Cha, Ann Hamilton, Susan Hiller, Dorothy Iannone, Alison Knowles, Bernadette Mayer, Adrian Piper, Charlotte Salomon, Carrie Mae Weems, Hannah Weiner, and Unica Zürn, among many others.
 THE NEW YORKER: Burrowing into the pop-detritus archive somewhere between Ray Johnson’s mail art and Tom Phillips’s Humument project, Seydel’s Book of Ruth describes an allusive fantasy about his aunt and alter ego Ruth Greisman, her brother Saul, and their escapades with Joseph Cornell.
 IRA GLASS, from his introduction: That a cartographer could set out on a mission that’s so emotional, so personal, so idiosyncratic was news to me.
 BOOKFORUM: Borrowing techniques from both fiction, poetry, and visual art (particularly photography), the book not only infuses each object, be it a juice glass or a paper napkin, with a Vermeeresque glow but arranges it into part of a verbal still life. The result? A fresh take on suburbia, one of reverence and skepticism . . . . The beauty of S P R A W L resides in its fierce, careful composition, which changes the ordinary into the wonderful and odd. S P R A W L in fact does not sprawl at all; rather, it radiates with control and fresh, strange reflection. |
