Sobre IBD

Accidentally locked in a church cupboard for twenty years, it’s hardly surprising the ’poor devil’, Titivillus, had missed a few things. But was he really to blame for screwing up payment on a contract for a human soul?His intended victim seems to think so, but does the Sale of Goods Act even apply to contracts with the Lord of Darkness?And is making the victim into an eminent art historian ever going to be an adequate good-will gesture for the mistake?More to the point, what has any of this to do with Barfrestone church in Kent and is this still art history?This edition includes the Art-Art History Manifesto.

  • Four Essays on Art and Anarchism
    Michael Paraskos
    The relationship between art and anarchism has a long but often hidden history.

But, as Michael Paraskos suggests in the course of these essays, there is an argument to be made that an...
