Summary

The past twenty years have seen a new generation of artists working together in small groups and large collectives to explore new avenues of art, design, performance, and commerce. In Come Together, author and visual artist Francesco Spampinato assembles an international roster of forty of today's most exciting and influential collectives, from design studios like Project Projects and political performance artists The Yes Men to flash mob provocateurs Improv Everywhere and the multimedia artists Assume Vivid Astro Focus. Alongside visual portfolios of their best work are in-depth interviews addressing each group's unique motivations, processes, and objectives. What emerges is a shared desire to turn viewers into producers and to use commercial mass-media strategies to challenge prevailing social, political, and cultural power structures. Come Together is an essential resource and inspiration for students, art lovers, and anyone interested in the cutting edge of visual culture.

    Visit the Virginia city where the great author brought his thirteen-year-old bride for a honeymoon.   Antebellum Petersburg was a melting pot of French, Haitian, Scotch-Irish, and free black populations. It was in this eclectic city that the master of the macabre, Edgar Allan Poe, chose to take his new wife, thirteen-year-old first cousin Virginia Clemm, on their honeymoon in 1836.   This book traces the steps of the controversial couple through imaginative scenes of historic Petersburg. From Poe’s own mother performing in the local venues to the poet’s lasting friendship with Petersburg native and publisher Hiram Haines, it reveals an overlooked moment in the young life of this literary giant.  Includes photos

    Broadway. The Great White Way.  In its theatres—one day you’re an understudy, the next a star.  Your name in headlines and lights. But Broadway has an underbelly. A troubling side through which to view humanity at its worst: corrupt, dark, venal, and violent.  
 
For Detective Danny Clover every time he walked that street another case was always just a few footsteps away.  He knows everyone along Broadway—from panhandlers to operatic prima donnas—but he’s still sentimental about the street, forever an ever-changing wonderland of glamour that at any moment is ready to reveal its dark side. 
 
These are his stories.

    The third part of our Hall of Fame spotlight on Frank Sinatra’s legendary career with host Wink Martindale continues the story of the artist who remains an internationally known icon. We dig deeper into the songs and soundtrack of Frank’s career as told by friends and family, those who knew him best, including Nelson Riddle, Gordon McRae and a large selection of songwriters who collaborated with Sinatra.Bandleader Riddle remembers his arrangements for Sinatra classics like “I’ve Got You Under My Skin.” Don Costa looks back on “Ol’ Blue Eyes Is Back,” Frank coming out of retirement and the genesis of “My Way.” There were autobiographical songs like “It Was A Very Good Year,” which surprisingly, weren’t written with Frank in mind -- but he quickly made them his own.
