Sacha Moens
2022 || Paperback || Sacha Moens || Brave New Books
Embracing the Void is a book filled with thoughts, rhymes and questions on the human experience. It prompts the reader to question their reality and their sense of self. It is mystical and absurd, transcendental and grounding, deep and meaningless. We are born from the void and we will return to it. What we do in between is trying to make sense out of the nonsense. For Sacha Moens, the only way to do this is by a creative endeavour which attempts to grasp the emptiness hiding in each and ever...

Even with fau...

Accountable Temporary Expedients
2022 || Paperback || Irina Baldini || Brave New Books
Accountable Temporary Expedients is a practice that challenges the ability of dancers to attend to multiple stimuli at once and instigate situations which embrace confusion, doubt and uncertainty. This work stands in response to the notion that dance urges to emancipate. Baldini’s current critique sees dance as being "stuck, gooey, a victim of its own habit and, so in love with itself, it does not recognise its limitations. It is self-seduced, self-sufficient, and self-indulgent. Dance is n...

Wytham Whales
2022 || Paperback || Jan Van Aken || Brave New Books
'It reminds me of Brexit, which had the same morbid impact, which had redefined the land as well. Not by rising water levels, like it is doing now, but by imposing distinct coastal borders. The idea of being trapped and isolated by unforgiving frontiers evokes new ethics and politics. We don’t feel inhabitants anymore, only survivors, landwrecked survivors.'
A dystopian novel about seven researchers being stuck on Wytham Hill (Oxford) due to serious flooding. Because of their isolation ethi...

Making Up Your Mind About Waking Up Your Mind
A rational alternative to spirituality and self-help
2022 || Paperback || Richard van der Linde || Brave New Books

With such a series of clouded lenses, it’s only a matter of time before you run into real-life problems or dilemmas that appear...
