Julian
Fleur och Julian ville gifta sig i alla 22 länder där samkönade äktenskap var tillåtna. Efter fyra bröllop dog Julian.Under en middag berättar konstnärsparet Fleur Pierets och Julian P. Boom för sina överraskade grannar att de inte får gifta sig i 172 av världens 194 länder. Morgonen efter har de fått idén till 22, ett positivt protestverk döpt efter antalet länder där samkönade äktenskap är tillåtna. Tänk om de skulle gifta sig i var och ett av länderna, funderar de, och tänk om fler länder skulle tillkomma i takt med att projektet håller på.2017 vigs de första gången, i New York. Medier över hela världen vill intervjua dem om projektet. En designer erbjuder sig att sy deras bröllopskläder och en dokumentär planeras. De gifter sig i Amsterdam, Antwerpen och Paris. Då insjuknar Julian plötsligt.I den kritikerrosade Julian skriver Fleur Pierets om 22 och tiden före och efter sin frus hastiga död. Till sin hjälp tar hon allt hon läst och hört om sorg och överlevnad, från Joan Didion och Nick Cave till de kulturskapare hon intervjuat för den internationella tidskrift, Et alors?, som hon och Julian tillsammans grundade för att lyfta fram HBTQ+-skapare inom kulturvärlden. Julian är en både tårdrypande och märkligt upplyftande berättelse om den stora kärleken, om konst och aktivism, och om hur minnet av någon kan hålla en vid liv."Julian är underbar, vilket jag vet är konstigt att säga om någons sorg, men den är kvick, lätt och gripande." Siri Hustvedt"Som en av de första böckerna om lesbisk kärlek och sorg fyller Julian (äntligen) ett hål i vårt medvetande. Väldigt vacker och klokt skriven. Måsteläsning." ZIZO Magazine

Julian
Belgian artist Fleur Pierets wanted to marry her partner Julian in all countries where two women are allowed to marry. The aim was to raise awareness of equal marriage rights in a positive way. But the 'world tour of love' was interrupted: after her fourth marriage, in Paris, Julian was diagnosed with an aggressive brain tumour. She died two months later. Pierets had only one thing left to do: write. Fleur Pierets and Julian P. Boom worked as an artist duo under the name JF. Pierets and created, among other things, the magazine Et Alors? On 20 September 2017, they launched their performance Project 22 in New York. Julian died on 22 January 2018. This book is divided into three sections: Before, During and After. The first part tells the story of how Julian and Fleur Pierets met, delves into their careers before they fell in love and gives context to their intense relationship and collaboration. The second part is literally the heart of the memoir. It's a celebration of love, freedom,

Aliens
The welcome given to refugees from fascist Europe is part of our fond nostalgia for Britain's role in the Second World War, nestling in our imagination next to images of evacuees clutching teddy bears, and milkmen picking their way through bomb rubble during the Blitz. But there is a darker side to this story. Then, as now, there was great suspicion, resentment and fear towards new arrivals, much of it kindled by the tabloid press. Then, as now, politicians dealt with a reluctance to accommodate refugees by hiding behind bureaucratic hurdles and obfuscation. Many of the 10,000 Kindertransport children who arrived here in the late 1930s have warm memories of the kindness they were shown, but half a million refugees were refused entry and most of them died as a result. And those who were accepted found their troubles far from over. While Britain fearfully awaited invasion in 1940, 30,000 Jews were interned as 'enemy aliens' and some were sent off to the colonies on dangerous and

Julian Schnabel
Julian Schnabel makes art out of life, finding his materials in the fabric of the everyday. He uses broken plates as an improbable picture ground; he paints on velvet, market stall covers, army tarps, kabuki theater backdrops, and boxing ring floors, found surfaces that lend their own rich history to the artist’s exploration. A figurehead for the return of painting after his overnight success with a first New York solo show in 1979, he has since worked in a wide variety of media: making sculptures that transpose his pictorial forms into space as raw, seemingly time-worn artifacts; directing award-winning movies that paint portraits of artists and other subtly heroic figures; and even building his own dream of a Venetian palace in New York. “I want my life to be in my work, crushed into my painting like a pressed car. If it’s not, my work is just some stuff,” Schnabel has said, and this urgency permeates his oeuvre no matter what means or media the artist chooses. Now available in a
