## Summary

A contemporary photography book titled 'SCUMB Manifesto' by Justine Kurland, featuring a bold red cover with overlaid text and a Swiss bound paperback construction.

## Description

Shortlisted for the Paris Photo–Aperture PhotoBook Awards 2022 ‘A quantum leap in Kurland’s practice … It might just be as sharp and clear-sighted a skewering of the male canon ... as you’ll ever witness.’ AnOther  Skillful, versatile, and refreshingly analog … The past can’t just vanish with a finger snap, but rather must be dealt with in a complex case-by-case way – preferably a gleeful one, and maybe involving a razor.’ Artforum‘In wild and allusive accretions, these fragments of past artistic mastery become, when arrayed on the flayed boards of their previous containers, something like an archeological dig … an animated, anarchic ... new world is brutally begotten.’ Brooklyn Rail         Inspired by Valerie Solanas’ iconoclastic feminist tract SCUM (Society for Cutting Up Men) Manifesto, SCUMB Manifesto introduces us to photographer Justine Kurland’s own uncompromising initiative: the Society for Cutting Up Men’s Books. This volume presents a collection of collages Kurland created by cutting up and reconfiguring photobooks by male artists, as she went through the process of purging her own library of roughly 150 books by straight white men that have monopolized the photographic canon. The nature of collage — heterogeneous, pulled apart, shape shifting, disrupted, cyborg, fantasy — has long made it a feminist strategy in life and in art. Kurland's ritual is restorative and loving: each work is a reclamation of history; a dismemberment of the patriarchy; a gender inversion of the usual terms of possession; and a modest attempt at offsetting a life of income disparity. While markedly different in style, the defiant female visions pictured in these compositions are a continuation of those depicted in Kurland’s earlier photographic projects Girl Pictures (1997–2002) and Mama Babies (2004–07). Each work in SCUMB sounds an electrifying call for freedom — the freedom to create, to destroy, to imagine, and to reshape our visual and social world. Includes essays by Marina Chao, Renee Gladman, Catherine Lord, and Ariana Reines.        Swiss bound paperback with sillkscreen printed gauze on spine18 gatefolds, with 2 paper stocks48 x 60cm poster inserted into back cover24.5 x 32cm, 282 pages, 116 plates ISBN 978-1-913620-56-1May 2022€75 £60 $80   Includes a large-format pull-out poster in the back of the book.     ABOUT THE SIGNED EDITION The signed edition includes a slip signed by the artist and bound into the inside back cover.
