Today SAVE 9% on everything with code “TAKE9” / Steve Bannon: A Propaganda Retrospective / Available at www.draw-down.com / This publication accompanies the eponymous #exhibition project by #Dutch artist #JonasStaal that offers an overview of the artistic, cultural, and political work of Stephen K. Bannon, best known as campaign manager and advisor for US President Donald Trump. Less well known is Bannon’s work as a filmmaker. Between 2004 and 2016 he directed nine documentary films in a style he has termed “kinetic cinema.” Together they sketch a grim profile of a world on the brink of disaster, beset by economic crisis, secular hedonism, and Islamic fundamentalism. This book deconstructs the mechanisms of propaganda, showing how #Trumpism was decades in the making through Bannon’s work.

Post-Propaganda / Available at www.draw-down.com / This pocket-sized book by visual artist Jonas Staal is a long essay with an idealistic premise: that the unification of life and art can be accomplished through a meeting of art and politics. Staal believes that “every human being is an artist,” and that we must find the courage to imagine a different politics,” one that will find acceptance through the consistent implementation of inconsistent democratism.” His argument is based on the deep-rooted relationship between the art institution and politics, the refusal of the art institution to question its supposed autonomy, and the refusal of politics to give up its untenably neutral position with respect to the arts. What are the ideological foundations that contemporary art is supposed to portray? With this manifesto, Staal aims to further the discussion about art and politics. He calls for a truly politicized art—as well as an “artification” of politics. Designed by Stout/Kramer #graphicdesign #typography #PostPropaganda #JonasStaal
