Join us at Printed Matter's NY Art Book Fair 2024!

Join Artbook during Printed Matter's NY Art Book Fair, April 25–28, 2024 in booth B29. We are also proud to partner with DelMonico Books in managing their events in booth B6. Scroll down for information about signings.

Artbook is presenting an international selection of books by scientists, activists, and theorists on the Climate Crisis, who examine what recourse we have, alongside both old and new occult titles. Mixed in you’ll find books by botanists, gardeners and theorists who explore our concepts of the natural and the human and address ways of caring for and repairing our environment. Together these writers encourage us to learn from models that are in harmony with nature.

As we humans came to learn about nature and, through that knowledge, became able to survive, we also developed a longing to understand the context of being. Magic, religion, science sprang forth as ways to to comprehend various models of cause and effect. But as we indulged our desire to gain control of the environment, did we become spiritually selfish? Science brought us to the present, where we now face climate crisis.

We humans have handed our destiny to a false deity that projects progress and comfort for some of us, with those comforts constantly reinforced with new needs. But we know that our comfort comes at a cost borne by other humans and nature. Our desire for comfort kills as certainly as drone hovering just out of sight, unseen in distant lands. The people of those lands are now at our gates begging for comforts not had. The deity of ease casts spells upon us—like the mantra of recycling as an apologia for our gullibility. Knowledge is a power. Inaction is doom. Optimism is a choice.
