JBbTC 64: Insurrection
Posted June 27, 2011 by jmacphee in Judging Books by Their Covers
I had intended to follow-up last weeks post about Elephant Editions Anarchist Pocketbook series (check it out HERE) with the covers of another of their popular book/pamphlet series, the eight publications printed under the label Bratach Dubh (Black Flag in Gaelic). But, I still feel unhappy with my research, and keep turning up new info and new covers (i.e. it appears that Bratach Dubh was originally it's own publisher, and was folded into Elephant Editions in 1990 when Weir reprinted all of the original pamphlets from the 70s and 80s), so I'm going to wait on that for a couple weeks (If you've got any info on the origins and history of Elephant Editions beyond the basics (see last week's post) please drop me a line!
Instead I'm going to look at the covers of the seven issues of Insurrection magazine, published by Jean Weir concurrently to running Elephant Editions press. To the left is the first issue, which is technically issue #0 (the pilot). The cover is generally unremarkable design-wise, other than the designer was smart enough to not obscure the striking photograph of a Native American (possibly Sitting Bull, but I don't know for sure?).

New Left Turn Summer Issue Out Now!
Posted June 25, 2011 by k_c_ in Books & Zines
“There is a restlessness within our souls that keeps us questioning, discovering and struggling against a system that will not allow us space and time for fresh expression....” - Gil Scott-Heron
Gil Scott-Heron inspires the title of this issue – "Winter In America -- The Reluctant Welfare State.” Scott-Heron, who passed away in late May of this year, used winter as a metaphor to describe the bleak, challenging, and ofttimes depressing period in US history we find ourselves trudging through today. Do not despair. Though winter is hard it is also a time of coming together.
A great need for a joining of forces is brewing and cannot be ignored. Both dominant political parties in the US are forging budget policy that will forever place the burden of a balanced budget on the backs of the poor and vulnerable. Corporations plead poverty and policymakers listen, cutting taxes for the wealthy and programs that aid the poor. Many forces are gathering to protect public welfare, but more is needed. While it is sometimes an unsavory or uncomfortable position for leftists in the US to be in, the time to demand more government aid to the poor is now.
Families both rural and urban will bear a large brunt of cuts to social spending. Without assistance many families simply cannot survive. A thoughtful and poignant discussion of families and where they fit in to the movements for liberation and justice takes its rightful place in this issue. As Cynthia Oka and Vikki Law point out, our organizations often miss the mark when it comes to multigenerational organizing both ideologically and practically, as in providing kid and youth-friendly spaces at radical events.

Aaron Burr Society: Summer of Change
Posted June 22, 2011 by shaun in Events
Coins, those age-old metallic discs struck with the symbols of national mythology, just might unlock reason & light in the fourth year of the Dire Global Recession, an economic state whose laws do not apply within the stones of Wall Street; whose invisible great wall is impregnable to marauding justice, equality, and change. So we present the Summer of Change; a series of numismatic ritual offerings to our nation’s bankers; those citizens worthy of prizes and honors; which we as artists are honored to bestow in public. Standing on The Street safely within the commons of the commonwealth, we shall seize this extraordinary moment by the horns to re-distribute wealth in the form of dollars, fifty-cent pieces, quarters, dimes, nickels, and the Lincoln penny; sacrificing one denomination per event.

Tri-X-Noise site launches!
Posted June 21, 2011 by jmacphee in Inspiration
A good friend of Justseeds, Bill Daniel, has recently launched a new photosite called Tri-X-Noise. Bill has been taking fantastic photos of American sub-culture since the early 1980s, from early punk shows in Texas to skateboarding around the country to classic SF graffiti. Like the rest of us, Bill is a struggling artist trying to make ends meet, and he's launched Tri-X to both share his work with the world, but also sell very inexpensive hand-printed photographs. Checking out and buying Bill's prints is a great way to be able to take home a bit of this history, and help out an artist at the same time. Check out the site HERE, and pick up some awesome photos! (To the right is a great shot of the work of early 90s SF graf artist Reminisce, and click below for a great skate shot!)
Signs from the March on Blair Mountain
Posted June 21, 2011 by shaun in In the News
Two weeks ago, I traveled down to West Virginia for the 5-day, 50 mile March on Blair Mountain, nominally a peaceful march to demand that Alpha Natural Resources not blast out the rest of one geological formation with particular historical resonance but also, perhaps more urgently, a symbolic action to demand an end to mountaintop removal coal mining as a practice in the United States. Personally, I need some time to parse out everything that happened throughout that week... but in the meantime, here's a slideshow of some of the signage from both protesters, supporters, and counter-protesters along the winding route from through the West Virginia coalfields.
JBbTC 63: Elephant Editions pt.1
Posted June 20, 2011 by jmacphee in Judging Books by Their Covers
Dove-tailing off of last weeks post on the UK publisher Shortfuse, this week I'm going to start a series of posts on the UK/Italian anarchist publisher Elephant Editions. I believe Elephant Editions was begun in the UK in the early to mid-80s by insurrectionary anarchist Jean Weir. I'm not an expert in insurrectionary anarchist history, but in 1982 Weir began producing an anarchist magazine/broadsheet called Insurrection, which ran for seven issues throughout the 1980s (I will be featuring the covers of this magazine in a future post). Within the pages of Insurrection their is a melange of anti-militarism, critiques of the organizational forms of politics, records of state violence, and a defense of illegalism (for lack of a better description, individualist armed struggle). In addition, Weir translated and published some of the first writings by the Italian anarchist Alfredo Bonnano into English. Elephant Editions as a publisher seems to have begun in the mid-80s as an extension of Insurrection.
Like the magazine, Elephant is a diverse and interesting brew. Their publications fall into roughly three groupings, the early Anarchist Pocketbook series, the Bratach Dubh pamphlet series, and a small collection of other pamphlets and publications. This week we'll start with the Anarchist Pocketbooks.

Mud Stenciling the Rich
Posted June 15, 2011 by nicolas_lampert in Art & Politics
A few days ago pro-labor activists mud stenciled and chalked the Wisconsin Manufacturers and Commerce (WMC) headquarters in Madison, Wisconsin for their support of Gov. Walker and his assault on all things public. What did WMC do? They went crying to the police that they were victimized by vandals and they posted a press release here. Apparently, the police laughed at them as they investigated the mud and chalk and concluded that it was not vandalism. The follow-up report is posted below. The lesson to WMC: stop treating working class people like dirt and you won't be targeted with activist art, and be thankful you are not in Greece where a general strike is raging and workers would not use chalk and mud to voice their dissent: they would use molotov cocktails.

I have been in Antwerp, Belgium this month, enjoying many of the benefits of a country that values cultural production in much more tangible ways than I am used to. In comparison Milwaukee (and Wisconsin in general) feels pretty rough around the edges.
It seems like life is gonna get a bit tougher in Wisconsin before it gets better, I'll be back and resisting in Milwaukee next week. Until then feeling like Antwerp is a second home and having an opening at Artspace Leguit, (Leguit 23) on Friday, 17 June, 18.00-23.00hr. If you are in Antwerp stop by.

Don't Mourn-Organize!
Posted June 14, 2011 by nicolas_lampert in Art & Politics
Joe Hill where are you when we need you. Welcome to Wisconsin – a state that is sinking faster than the Titanic. Our iceberg is Gov. Walker, Assembly Speaker Jeff Fitzgerald, and the Koch Brothers. Together they have turned Wisconsin into Fitzwalkerstan and handed over the public sector to their corporate donors.
6/14/11 will remain as a day in infamy in Wisconsin - the end of collective bargaining rights for public unions, a day that marks the dismantling of 60 plus years of labor gains. The Wisconsin Supreme Court ruled 4-3 against Judge Sumis ruling that barred implication of the union-busting bill. No matter what the court ruled – the Republican controlled Senate and House were going to ram through the bill tonight or tomorrow in an extraordinary session that equated an extraordinary assault on workers rights and democracy. Gov. Walker, who from here out should only be called Mother F*cker, was determined to crush public unions and we (the vast majority of Wisconsinites) must collectively admit that we lost this battle, but not the war. This is all out class war and we need to be more vigilant in the weeks, months, and years to come.
I, and many others, have been very critical of union leadership in this struggle. I believed that the focus on recalls and electoral politics was suicidal and attention should have been placed on escalation, civil disobedience, and strikes back in March when the movement had momentum and 150,000 people plus in the streets of Madison.
Thea Gahr art show
Posted June 14, 2011 by bec_young in Events
Thea Gahr is having a solo show at the Justseeds space in Pittsburgh this Thursday evening. Her show consists of hand-printed linocuts and woodcuts, some of which Thea has added color to with watercolor. Please come check it out! Details below.
In preparation for her show, Thea has been inciting groups of people around Pittsburgh into revolutionary free-form coloring jam sessions. If you thought improvising was only allowed in jazz, you should try this new method of color application. Thea recommends colored pencils but markers or crayons also do the trick. Everyone works on the same piece of paper, and just when you are almost done with your section, it's time to rotate! Thanks to Mary, Scott, Kira and Samara.

Rally Against the Budget
Tuesday, June 14
11:00 a.m.: marches begin at Walkerville
5:00 p.m.: rally program begins at the corner of State St. and the Capitol Square, Madison
From Wisconsin State Representative Mark Pocan (D-Madison) writing in The Progressive:
"Walker’s now infamous union busting tactics of March and April, currently stalled in the state’s Supreme Court, set the table for a state budget battle that will play out over the next week or so, this time under a whole new rule book. Rather than use the legislature’s traditional rules, Speaker Jeff Fitzgerald and Senate Majority Leader Scott Fitzgerald, aka the Fitzgerald brothers, have decided to fast track Wisconsin’s budget under an “extraordinary” session.
JBbTC 62: Shortfuse Press
Posted June 13, 2011 by jmacphee in Judging Books by Their Covers
In January 1994 I made my first visit to the UK and to London. At the time there were two functional anarchist spaces in town that were open to the public: the 121 Railton and 56A Infoshops. At the time I felt like 121 was where all the action was: it was based in Brixton, had an old printing press, a large meeting and event space, a cafe, etc., etc. My memories of 56A are foggier. My main memory was that there was a food coop there, which was decidedly less interesting to me than the 1 quid veggie burgers and Anarchist Black Cross meetings at 121. Turns out 121 was soon to collapse, and 56A has held on and maintained itself as a thriving social centre in South London.
I went back in the Fall of 2007 and ran into Chris, who I had met there almost 15 years earlier. We got to hang out, and he gave Icky and I free run of the 56A archive, which we helped organize. We tried to document material from it that would be useful in a future issue of our journal Signal. Two years later I was back in London, and this time met up with Chris and his mate Mark, who together make up the main major force behind Short Fuse Printing and Bandit Press.
Armed with Art: A New Revolution is Necessary – Art & Resistance in Mexico Film Short
Posted June 13, 2011 by k_c_ in Film & Video
Covering contemporary art movements across Mexico, Armed with Art examines the integral nature art plays in creating cultural spaces of resistance and change.A great short film about various collectives, currently in Mexico. Focusing on collectives spawned by the APPO social movement in Oaxaca in 2006 to Zapatista support collectives of D.F. These are artists that have worked, tirelessly, for the movement. It is fantastic for this piece to be translated to English and allow their efforts to receive greater exposure.
In solidarity with many artists in Mexico, we exhibit, display, and sell much of the work that finds its way across the border.

Marie Mason Benefit T-Shirts
Posted June 6, 2011 by erik_ruin in Art & Politics
I created this image a while back for my old friend Marie Mason, who's currently serving out a 22-year prison sentence for charges related to two acts of property destruction that occurred in 1999 and 2000. Noone was injured in either attack -against a facility researching/developing GMO crops- but Marie got swept up in the Green Scare hysteria- and is now serving a disproportionately long sentence as a result.
The good folks at Support Marie Mason recently printed up these t-shirts as a benefit and if i do say so myself, they look pretty sharp and are darn comfortable to boot. You can buy them directly from their site here- and i highly recommend you do.

JBbTC 61: Eberhardt Press pt.3
Posted June 6, 2011 by jmacphee in Judging Books by Their Covers
This week I'm looking at the final bits and pieces from Eberhardt Press. I've got a couple book and pamphlet covers here, and some things Eberhardt printed but didn't design. Also, over the past couple years I've collected a bunch of other Eberhardt printed ephemera which I've included.
No printer in the U.S. can survive on printing political books and pamphlets alone. The way Eberhardt has dealt with this problem is two-fold. Charles does a lot of "job work" or printing for other people, to make ends meet, and has been lucky enough to carve out a very diverse client base which produces much that he is at least sympathetic to. He regularly prints for Microcosm Publishing, he has printed or helped print the magazine Communicating Vessels, he prints Anarchy Magazine for Ardent Press, and he has done a lot of printing for us here at Justseeds, including the calendar we co-published with AK Press and our yearly organizer.
In addition to the job work, Charles designs and prints a wide array of notebooks and cards which he sells. His design aesthetic is strong and unique, a combination of Victorian figures in action (with a steam-punk-y vibe) and naturalistic, graphic representations of animals. The notebook cover to the above left is a good example, a 19th century man experimenting with a light-bulb helmet!
June 5th-March to Jerusalem

This is part of the escalating nonviolent movement headed by Palestinian youth activists in the West Bank, Gaza, 1948 territories, refugee camps, and the diaspora. Palestinians and human rights activists from all over the world will be participating in this event in their own way.Their demands are simple: Freedom , Justice, and Dignity.
On June 5th they will be struggling to practice their right to pray in Jerusalem, their right to freedom of movement, and their right to return to their homes that they were ethnically cleansed from in Jerusalem.

No Quit in the Badger State: Civil Disobedience and Walkervilles
Posted June 3, 2011 by nicolas_lampert in Art & Politics
Three updates from Wisconsin on recent actions and demos planned for the upcoming week to fight back against budget cuts and the attacks on workers and unions:
1. Civil Disobedience at the Joint Finance Committee hearing in Madison, Wisconsin (6-02-11)
2. (From Defend Wisconsin) "Join the Walkerville – a ‘city’ of tents around the Capitol square calling attention to the devastating state budget cuts to education, health care and other programs benefiting Wisconsin’s working families.
The Hoovervilles of the Great Depression were marks of the failed policies of unregulated speculation which helped lead to the collapse of financial markets. The establishment of a Walkerville marks the failure of a budget to provide for its citizens and for the state.
The action near the Capitol will begin the evening of Saturday, June 4, at 7 p.m. and will continue throughout the state budget process. Each day will focus on one area that will be harmed by the governor’s extreme budget."

Ganzeer, an Egyptian artist, is featured in an interesting article from the Guardian a couple of weeks back:
Egypt's uprising brings DIY spirit out on to the streets
"...in Tahrir and in protests all over the country, people got a taste for expressing themselves openly, and the government can't easily regain that control over public space again."Creating graffiti involves taking ownership of the streets, just like we did during the uprising. And so of course it's political, and illegal."

Canadian Postal Workers: Strike vs. Lockout
Posted June 1, 2011 by shaun in In the News
This came down the wire a bit late, you can follow up on the daily details and updates from the union here (the following info isn't from the union itself).
CANADIAN POSTAL WORKERS NEED OUR SUPPORT!
Sometime after May 25th 45,000 Postal Workers across Canada may either be on strike or locked out from their workplace by their employer, Canada Post Corporation (CPC). Since January 31 of this year postal workers have been working without a contract. The Canadian Union of Postal Workers (CUPW) and Canada Post have been in bargaining since October of last year but have failed to come to an agreement on several issues.
