Bilums are traditional, intricately-woven bags, made by women throughout Papua New Guinea using natural fibres and recycled nylons & acrylics. The complex and unique patterns are integral to bilums, and many are particular to specific communities - recording and expressing provenance, current events and familial stories, often with spiritual or symbolic significance.

Natural Fibre bilums are made from small trees and the weavers use natural plant-based dyes and as such are not designed to get wet. Please keep them dry.

Each piece is entirely one-of-a-kind, and comes with a hand-written card acknowledging the cooperative and province.

Assembling a Black Counter Culture is a general history of techno and adjacent electronic music genres, with a focus on Black experiences in industrialised labour systems. It confidently explores the development of on-the-ground culture in relation to a uniquely American art form.Revisiting Detroit’s techno roots through the 1980s, writer and musician DeForrest Brown, Jr. follows the extended thinking and techniques behind key early players and places them in conversation with the African-American working class in the historically emblematic Motor City. From The Belleville Three to today’s international club floor, 'Assembling a Black Counter Culture' illuminates the mechanics of American mainstream cultural production and reinstates electronic music from a Black theoretical perspective.A critical reconsideration emerges with references to Theodore Roszak’s Making of a Counter Culture, writings by African-American autoworker and political activist James Boggs, and the 'techno rebels' of Alvin Toffler’s Third Wave, among others, tracing parallels between movements in Black electronic music and attempts to evade and subvert the race and class-essentialist status quo established by American technocratic distribution of labor and capital.128 pages, 17.5 x 10.5 cm, softcover, Primary Information (New York).

SPECIAL EDITIONPerimeter Editions and Lenard Smith have produced a special edition of 25 copies of 'Melancholy Objects'.It’s no mistake that Lenard Smith’s new book borrows its title from Susan Sontag’s 1977 essay of the same name. Melancholy Objects – the Los Angeles-based Artist grounds the photographic endeavour in the surreal, the introspective, and the referential. Working in the tradition of the ragpicker, Smith sifts through personal and found objects to create formal compositions that gently intersect sculpture with the still life - broaching new purposes and hierarchies, and pulsing with a sense of humour, play, and solemnity.Unlikely materials and choreographies elicit a furrow or a smirk. While history and function inspire each photograph, it is the imagination that subverts and ungrounds them. In the spirit of Dadaism, we’re left happily adrift in their presence.110 pages21 x 12.5 cmSoftcover Perimeter Editions
Tjungurrayi’s untitled painting depicts Kirritjinna, a rock hole site south-west of Lake MacDonald - a vast ephemeral salt lake straddling the border between Western Australia and the Northern Territory. During ancestral times, a large group of Tingari Men camped at this site before travelling to Lake MacDonald. The legends of the Tingari are secret-scared in nature, but in general, they are a group of ancestral Dreaming beings who traversed the country, creating and transforming the landscape through their travels. The Tingari Men were usually followed by Tingari Women and accompanied by novices, and their adventures are enshrined in numerous song cycles.Tjungurrayi painted the places he used to walk around as a boy growing up in the desert. Kirritjinna, close to the place of his birth, is rendered in the artist’s signature style – a central, undulating water source forming part of a network, connecting people, Country, and Law. A master of movement and restraint, Tjungurrayi uses subtle variations in tone to create depth in this work, his fiery palette giving life to the ancestral footprints that connect the sites of his Country.92cm x 100cm 16mm 100% silk satin with hand-rolled edges and double-sided printing.Scarves come in a gift box that includes an authentication card detailing the Artist's practice.
