  • The Islamophobia Industry
    Property of Pluto Press: Do Not Reproduce The Islamophobia Industry “This concise, accessible and illuminating book meets one of the most urgent needs of our time. Lean has provided a compelling counter-narrative that reveals the vested interests and highly organized networks of those who preach the virulent Islamophobia that is not only endangering world peace but is also corroding the tolerance and egalitarian ethos that should characterize Western society. This book should be required reading.” — Karen Armstrong “Islamophobia is not only about ignorance and fear. Some people purposefully nurture it and use it as a political strategy. Nathan Lean’s The Islamophobia Industry shows what is happening behind the scenes. It is an essential book for anyone who wants to understand the rationale and objectives behind those who foster this new racism against Muslims.” — Tariq Ramadan, Professor of Contemporary Islamic Studies at Oxford University and author of The Quest for Meaning “The climate of fear and cultural mistrust is one of the grim aspects of present-day society—but it doesn’t happen by accident. As this readable and well-researched book demonstrates, hatred sells; it can provide both money and power to those who profit from it. This book exposes the dirty secrets of those who try to manipulate public opinion against Muslims. It should be read by policymakers, concerned citizens, and everyone who values truth and intercultural understanding.” — Mark Juergensmeyer, Professor of Global Studies at the University of California, Santa Barbara, and author of Terror in the Mind of God: The Global Rise of Religious Violence. “Nathan Lean has written a book of immense importance for our times.

It has been accepted for inclusion in Indiana Law Journal by an authorized editor of Digital Repository @ Maurer Law. For more information, please contact [email protected]. Unique or Ubiquitous: Art Prints and the Uniform Commercial Code WENDY C. LOWENGRUB* Law, in its search for truth and justice through precedence and tradition, often ignores the fundamental meaning of an act or an object. The fine art print is one such example. A recent case in the Southern District of New York held that art prints are unique: "two prints by the same artist and from the same plate are not interchangeable."' The court refused to allow the seller of a Picasso print to cure under the Uniform Commercial Code ("U.C.C.") section 2-5082 by offering a substitute print from the same plate, printed at the same time, and signed by Picasso to the buyer who claimed breach of contract because of a forged signature on the initial print.' Presumably, the New York court was dazzled by the cost of the print ($1.68 million) and by the argument that printing plates wear significantly during printing.

  • The Museum Off Modern Art
    The Museum off Modern Art For Immediate Release November 1987 FOR 25 YEARS: CROWN POINT PRESS November 20, 1987 - February 9, 1988 The twenty-fifth anniversary of Crown Point Press, the distinguished California print workshop and publisher, is celebrated in an exhibition at The Museum of Modern Art from November 20, 1987, to February 9, 1988. Organized by Riva Castleman, director of the Department of Prints and Illustrated Books, FOR 25 YEARS: CROWN POINT PRESS includes approximately forty works published by Crown Point Press, most of which are from a large donation commemorating its quarter century. Artists represented in the exhibition include John Cage, Francesco Clemente, Joan Jonas, Elaine de Kooning, Robert Mangold, Tom Marioni, Judy Pfaff, Steve Reich, Ed Ruscha, David True, and William Wiley (complete list attached). Founded in 1962 in the basement of director Kathan Brown's Berkeley home, Crown Point Press was a print workshop organized to produce bound books of prints. The complete production process of the early books, which included editions by Wayne Thiebaud and Richard Diebenkorn, was considered part of the art work. In 1970 Crown Point printed its first non-book work, color aquatints by Thiebaud, published by the newly-formed Parasol Press in New York. Two years later Brown moved her etching presses to a studio in Oakland, where she remained until 1986. During the years 1971-76 Crown Point continued to print for other publishers, working with such New York artists as Sol LeWitt, Brice - more - 11 West 53 Street New York, NY 10019-5486 Tel: 212-708-9400 Coble; MPDERNART Telex: 62370 MODART - 2 - Marden, Chuck Close, Dorothea Rockburne, Robert Mangold, Dan Flavin, and Helen Frankenthaler.

  • ISJ FALL2012 Vol1
    ISLAMOPHOBIA STUDIES JOURNAL Volume 1 / Issue 1 Fall 2012 2 ISJ 1:1(2012) About the ISJ The Islamophobia Studies Journal is a bi-annual publication that focuses on the critical analysis of Islamophobia and its multiple manifestations in our contemporary moment. ISJ is an interdisciplinary and multi-lingual academic journal that encourages submissions that theorizes the historical, political, economic, and cultural phenomenon of Islamophobia in relation to the construction, representation, and articulation of “Otherness.” The ISJ is an open scholarly exchange, exploring new approaches, methodologies, and contemporary issues. The ISJ encourages submissions that closely interrogate the ideological, discursive, and epistemological frameworks employed in processes of “Otherness” – the complex social, political, economic, gender, sexual, and religious forces that are intimately linked in the historical production of the modern world from the dominance of the colonial / imperial north to the post-colonial south. At the heart of ISJ is an intellectual and collaborative project between scholars, researchers, and community agencies to recast the production of knowledge about Islamophobia away from a dehumanizing and subordinating framework to an emancipatory and liberatory one for all peoples in this far-reaching and unfolding domestic and global process. The Islamophobia Studies Journal is a collaborative venture between the following centers and institutions: • Islamophobia Research and Documentation Project for the Center for Race and Gender at the University of California, Berkeley; • Arab and Muslim Ethnicities and Diasporas Initiative for the School of Ethnic Studies at the San Francisco State University; • Center for Islamic Studies at the Graduate Theological Union; • International Centre for Muslim and Non-Muslim Understanding at the University of South Australia; • and Zaytuna College.

  • The New York Public Library and the Jewish Museum Announce Joint Acquisition of Maira Kalman's Original Paintings for “The
    The New York Public Library and the Jewish Museum Announce Joint Acquisition of Maira Kalman’s Original Paintings for “The Elements of Style” New York, NY, October 16, 2018 – The Jewish Museum and The New York Public Library (NYPL) have jointly acquired the complete series of 57 gouaches on paper created by designer, author, illustrator, and artist Maira Kalman for the 2005 edition of The Elements of Style. In The Elements of Style Maira Kalman adapts the well-known reference book of the same name by William Strunk Jr. and E.B. White (originally published by Strunk in 1918, and revised by White in 1959), pairing her irreverent illustrations with its grammatical rules. Known to generations of aspiring writers and English students, Kalman discovered the book at a used bookstore around 2002. She found it so amusing and subject to visual interpretation that it became her most beloved project to date. Claudia Gould, Helen Goldsmith Menschel Director, The Jewish Museum, said, “Even before participating in the organization of Maira Kalman’s 2011 retrospective, I greatly admired her perceptive, irreverent work. This is the first time that the Jewish Museum has collaborated with another institution on a major acquisition. The joint acquisition with The New York Public Library of Kalman’s paintings for The Elements of Style allows us to significantly expand our holdings of Kalman’s work with this witty, incisive series by a unique illustrator, artist, and author.” "Maira Kalman's whimsical interpretation of The Elements of Style breathed new life into an important book, making it increasingly attainable while capturing the playful spirit of the original authors," said New York Public Library President Tony Marx.

  • Kathan Brown Oral History Transcript
    San Francisco Museum of Modern Art Regional Oral History Office 75th Anniversary The Bancroft Library Oral History Project University of California, Berkeley SFMOMA 75th Anniversary KATHAN BROWN Founder, Crown Point Press Interviews conducted by Jess Rigelhaupt in 2007 Copyright © 2008 by San Francisco Museum of Modern Art Funding for the Oral History Project provided in part by Koret Foundation. Since 1954 the Regional Oral History Office has been interviewing leading participants in or well-placed witnesses to major events in the development of Northern California, the West, and the nation. Oral History is a method of collecting historical information through tape-recorded interviews between a narrator with firsthand knowledge of historically significant events and a well-informed interviewer, with the goal of preserving substantive additions to the historical record. The tape recording is transcribed, lightly edited for continuity and clarity, and reviewed by the interviewee. The corrected manuscript is bound with photographs and illustrative materials and placed in The Bancroft Library at the University of California, Berkeley, and in other research collections for scholarly use. Because it is primary material, oral history is not intended to present the final, verified, or complete narrative of events. It is a spoken account, offered by the interviewee in response to questioning, and as such it is reflective, partisan, deeply involved, and irreplaceable. ********************************* All uses of this manuscript are covered by a legal agreement between The Regents of the University of California and Kathan Brown, dated March 29, 2007. This manuscript is made available for research purposes.
