PoetryMicrodoses
A poetry book written by Enrique Bunbury, focusing on his personal life and microdoses as a form of self-discovery.
by Enrique Bunbury
MicroDosis is a diary written during the last two years in which Enrique Bunbury decides to experiment in his conscience the ingestion of microdoses of psilocybin. The genre chosen by the author to narrate this inner journey is poetry. In this way Bunbury consolidates his incursion into literature after the appearance in 2021 of his first collection of poems Exilio Topanga (La Bella Varsovia) adding to the aesthetic features present in that one an atmosphere of psychedelia and a critique of "the mental norm" of the system. MicroDosis is an experiential and intimate book that contemplates the daily routine with eyes that open without hesitation the doors of another perception. Space and time acquire a new depth, just as they do in Krishnamurti's diaries, grafting onto its passages the heritage of the American beat generation, the oneirism of David Lynch and a very filmic plasticity that runs through Los Angeles with a neural network in flames. Taking the words of Vicente Gallego in his prologue: "Of that extinction of oneself in the cosmic amplitude, of those inner journeys where the familiar becomes unacceptable and the prodigious dawns to its prodigality the pages of this book written with his underpants off, but full of affection for everything, including the always vain spectacle of this world, speak to us."

The ArtsBauhaus Women Designers
History of a silent revolution
by María Vadillo
In 1919, Walter Gropius founded the Staatliche Bauhaus in Weimar (Germany): a place for construction. The project was born as a utopian school in which to train, integrating various artistic disciplines through the object and architecture, the new craftsmen that would be demanded for a sweeping beginning of the century. An idea that would evolve into design from its headquarters in Dessau with the famous "art and technology: a new unity". However, the intellectual recognition of the Bauhaus is a fact that historically focused on its male protagonists, forgetting a number of women artists, designers, set designers, painters or architects trained there who contributed decisively to this "revolution", and whose work in the imaginary about the Bauhaus has remained invisible, despite developing their respective careers with an unquestionable international impact. With this work, Marisa Vadillo fills this gap, completing the reality of the school by recounting the outstanding role of these fundamental authors in an unrepeatable episode of twentieth-century art.

May 2022VERMOUTH DI TORINO
dai liquorosi del Settecento il vino profumato che inebria il mondo
by GIUSI MAINARDI
Il Vermouth di Torino è per eccellenza un simbolo dell’aperitivo in tutto il mondo. Nasce nel 1700 dalla maestria dei liquoristi torinesi, poi diventa un prodotto esportato ovunque. Immagini indimenticabili sono state create da importanti artisti per la sua réclame. Stupende etichette con la loro speciale grafica ne hanno portato e ne portano il nome in mille Paesi. Questo vino sta vivendo un’epoca di grande apprezzamento, tanto da aver ottenuto dall’Unione Europea il riconoscimento dell’Indicazione Geografica che identifica e sancisce il legame con una terra, una tradizione, un “saper fare” unico. Bevuto puro o in celeberrimi cocktail, il Vermouth di Torino è protagonista di un racconto avvincente che parte dalla mondana “ora del Vermouth” tipica di Torino, per giungere al moderno rito sociale dell’“happy hour".

Queercore: How to Punk a Revolution
A direct testimony of the queer community around punk, hardcore and society
by Yony Leyser
Yony Leyser developed the idea for Queercore: How to Punk a Revolution during a tour with a group of queer artists. Years later, the acquired baggage would be translated into the acclaimed documentary project of which this book offers for the first time a translation. Here it is made clear that punk and queer are not musical styles or genres, but ideals worth fighting for. Ways to make the world we live in a better and more fun place. Leyser takes up the legacy of queercore to fight against any kind of conformism, encouraging the audience to break free and constitute a liberating and transforming force in society. Brimming with testimonials from icons such as Peaches, John Waters, Bruce LaBruce, Billie Joe Amstrong, Jodi Bleyle and Lynn Breedlove, this book is a treasure trove for the queer community.
