REDSTONE PRESS

Seeing Things

The Small Wonders of the World According to Writers, Artists and Others

Edited by Julian Rothenstein. Foreword by Cornelia Parker.

Seeing Things

A captivating compendium of everyday moments of surprise and joy from the Instagram pages of David Byrne, Jarvis Cocker, Nicole Eisenman, Garth Greenwell, William Kentridge and many more

A sunset. A famous writer at the door. A fire hydrant that casts a beguiling shadow. A sinister note from a hotel cleaner. An archival portrait that speaks across the decades. This book gathers some of the most captivating images from the Instagram pages of well-known artists, writers, musicians and archivists, each pursuing interests beyond what they’re known for. This hugely entertaining Redstone collection will surprise you, make you laugh and see new things you might have missed.
Contributors include: Simon Armitage, Glen Baxter, Rose Boyt, David Byrne, Roz Chast, Amit Chaudhuri, Jarvis Cocker, William Dalrymple, Elizabeth Day, Peter Doig, Nicole Eisenman, Neil Gaiman, Garth Greenwell, Joseph Grigely, William Kentridge, Hari Kunzru, Andrew Motion, Andrew O’Hagan, Cornelia Parker, Marc Quinn, Jon Ronson, Katherine Rundell, Aveek Sen, Elif Shafak, Kamila Shamsie, Conrad Shawcross, Lemn Sissay, Nina Stibbe, Rachel Whiteread and Carey Young.
"Redstone Press has produced another small masterpiece, a compendium of wonder and alertness. Seeing Things works like an exquisite volume of short stories, revealing with brevity the hidden and the human." –Andrew O’Hagan
"This eclectic treasure trove will open your eyes a little wider every day." –Harriet Walter


PRAISE AND REVIEWS

The Art Newspaper

Gareth Harris

Quirky and entertaining.

Elle Décor

Will make you see the world with fresh eyes.

TLS

Seeing Things is enriched by Charles Boyle’s droll commentary on the ‘banality of interruptions’ and other (Instagrammable?) concerns.

New Statesman

Tom Gatti

Full of wit and rich in possible meanings, these are images that deserve a life beyond social media.

Guardian

Sarah Gilbert

Broken chairs, pick-up trucks, frozen-food cabinets: the surprising images from the Instagram accounts of various artists, writers and musicians are brilliantly captured in “Seeing Things.”

Cent Magazine

Iris Farmer

Taking a look at Seeing Things is a great way to get inspired, and urges one to look past the obvious and into the nuance that our world has to offer.

Globe and Mail

Nathalie Atkinson

If ever the spirit of Instagram’s better angels could be captured between covers, this inspiring little book manages it. By culling elliptical imagery from the grids of creatives such as Neil Gaiman, Roz Chast, Peter Doig, Nina Stibbe, David Byrne and Andrew Motion, the cumulative effect is wonder.

Art Spiel

Paul D’Agostino

Nota bene: Prepare to fall in love, as Kamila Shamsie does, with an especially adorable and charismatic old pickup truck. It’ll at least make you smile, and it might well make your day – as ‘seeing things’ like this often does.

Small wonders from big thinkers in 'Seeing Things'

Small wonders from big thinkers in 'Seeing Things'

Brought to us by British “one man art movement” Julian Rothenstein’s Redstone Press—publisher of such cult literary-art-design publications as the Redstone Diary and Everyday Play: A Campaign Against Boredom and the profound Black sociology infographics compendium, Black Lives 1900: W.E.B. Du Bois at the Paris Exposition—we are pleased to announce Redstone’s aptly-titled, newest wonder-inspiring offering, Seeing Things: The Small Wonders of the World According to Writers, Artists and Others. Culled from the Instagram pages of well-known artists, writers, musicians and archivists including David Byrne, Nicole Eisenman, Garth Greenwell, William Kentridge, Hari Kunzru, Elif Shafak and Jarvis Cocker (whose emblematic sentiment, “the best things in life are right under your nose,” is quoted on the cover), this is a book to pause and smile with. Pictured here, the Table of Contents with artwork by Aveek Sen, a spread from writer Neil Gaiman and a spread of work by Roz Chast. continue to blog
