Please join us at ’s Archive Book Sale this Saturday, where they’ll be selling several decades’ worth of art publications from $1 to $3 in an effort to downsize. Running as part of the Boorloo Heritage Festival, the sale will feature hundreds of publications from Australia and overseas, including zines, exhibition catalogues, magazines, and journals.
Coinciding with PICA’s sale, we’ll be going through our own inventory to present an assortment of items outside of our usual rotation—items that are rare, out-of-print, expensive, oversized, undersized, or otherwise don’t fit too nicely in our bookshelf located in PICA’s foyer. We’ll be selling a selection of publications, tote bags, and incense at RRP.
⏰ SAT 11 APR, 12:00 – 5:00 PM

A selection of publications from currently for sale:
1️⃣ Jérémie Koering: Iconophages: A History of Ingesting Images—$59.99 (inc. GST)—‘Iconophages’ aims to retrace, for the first time, the history of iconophagy. Jérémie Koering examines this unexplored facet of the history of images through an interdisciplinary approach that ranges across art history, cultural and material history, anthropology, philosophy, and the history of the body and the senses. He analyzes the human investment, in terms of culture and imagination, at stake in this seemingly paradoxical way of experiencing images. Beyond the hidden knowledge unearthed here, these pages bring to light a new way of understanding images, just as they illuminate the occasionally outlandish relations we maintain with them.
2️⃣ Hillel Schwartz: The Culture of the Copy: Striking Likenesses, Unreasonable Facsimiles—$52.99 (inc. GST)—‘The Culture of the Copy’ is an unprecedented attempt to make sense of the Western fascination with replicas, duplicates, and twins. In a work that is breathtaking in its synthetic and critical achievements, Hillel Schwartz charts the repercussions of our entanglement with copies of all kinds, whose presence alternately sustains and overwhelms us.
3️⃣ Michael Warner: Publics and Counterpublics—$44.99 (inc. GST)—By combining historical analysis, theoretical reflection, and extended case studies, ‘Publics and Counterpublics’ shows how the idea of a public works as a formal device in modern culture and traces its implications for contemporary life. Michael Warner offers a revisionist account at the junction of two intellectual traditions with which he has been associated: public-sphere theory and q***r theory. To public-sphere theory, this book brings a new emphasis on cultural forms, and a new focus on the dynamics of counterpublics. To q***r theory, it brings a new way of seeing how q***r culture (among other examples) is shaped by the counterpublic environment.
