“This is a facsimile of a small aluminum tag which reads ‘Aanwezig’ (Present) on one side, and ‘Afwezig’ (Absent) on the other. It was found at an airport for private planes in Holland in May of 1983. These tags hung on hooks under the names of pilots who frequented that airport, indicating their presence or absence. I was moved to take one, and have had it on my desk ever since.”

This catalogue is the outcome of research into Australian artist Ian Burn’s work of the late 1950s and early 1960s. Grounded in the traditional genres of landscape, still life and portrait, little is known about this early work, yet a substantial collection of it – juvenilia, art school paintings, yearbook cartoons, hinged boxes, paint palettes, still lifes, orientalist prints and more-resides at the artist’s brother Robert’s house in Newtown, Geelong. This material has not been exhibited or reproduced previously and thus expands knowledge of the artist’s oeuvre.

Documented are two exhibitions of Burn’s early work held at Guzzler gallery in 2022 and 2023. The first exhibition rehung his ambitious entry into the 1962 Travelling Scholarship Prize at the National Gallery School, Melbourne, a large Antipodean-esque painting of a bar scene. The second exhibition, comprised of several genre pictures and a drawing exercise, further showcased the humble origins of Burn’s art.

“The Chilean people began to ask these and other questions in revolutionary Chile 1970. How To Read Donald Duck was first published as Para Leer al Pato Donald in Chile 1971, and during the fascist period it was banned and burned there with other literature. A product of the political struggle, the book is a profound and imaginative critique of the sacred cow of children’s culture: the Disney Myth. With a new preface by the authors, an updated introduction by David Kunzle, an annotated bibliography of left writings on cultural imperialism and the comics, and an appendix by John Shelton Lawrence on the U.S. government’s censorship and the legal-political right to criticise Disney.” Published by Seth Sieglaub’s imprint International General.

“This collection of Marx’s and Engels’ basic texts on the means of communication, information and transportation is the first volume of its kind ever published. Edited, with an essential introduction, by Yves de la Haye, its purpose is to contribute to the development of a materialist analysis of the media, and to combat dominant bourgeois communication theory.” Published on Seth Sieglaub’s imprint International General/IMMRC.

In the 100 years since Marx’s death in 1883, the theory and practice of the ruling and subaltern classes have evolved radically, introducing new unforeseen forms and problems in the struggle for a truly liberated society. The Marxist heritage, however, has rarely been the object of a systematic critical analysis by those working within the Marxist tradition, and it is the purpose of Rethinking Marx to propose a new critical reading of Marx in light of -or in dark of – current problems. This book contains the principal papers presented at the “Internationale Konferenz Aktualisierung Marx” held in Berlin in February 1983. The contributions range from questions on historical materialism, the State, economic and class analyses, culture and ideology, new social movements, politics and socialist perspectives, and the renewal of Marxism.
