Imagine Wanting Only This by Kristen Radtke

image

We’re incredibly excited to announce that we will be publishing Imagine Wanting Only This by Kristen Radtke next year.

image

Imagine Wanting Only This is a haunting graphic memoir about leaving, and those left behind.

image

After the sudden death of a beloved uncle, Kristen becomes obsessed with the abandoned places – derelict Midwestern mining towns, an Icelandic village preserved in volcanic ash, Cambodian temples reclaimed by jungle. 

image

At the same time, she examines what it means to be an artist, to be hungry for the next experience, to be always in transit. 

image

We can’t wait to share our edition with you. 

Imagine Wanting Only This by Kristen Radtke will be published by Jonathan Cape in April 2018

How terrifying a ship on fire is. Gazing at the picture, I said to myself: The mariners find themselves faced with the necessity of fleeing the fire; but they have nowhere to escape to but the water, and soon enough they’ll be trying to escape from that as well; yet they have no choice but to take refuge in it. Beautifully spread out, the water lies there like a meadow; not the tiniest wave disturbs this mirror that conceals unfathomable depths. The mirror’s expansiveness poses a threat to the ones in peril, those desirous of rescue. Beneath the water, unknown mountain chains extend. This fact is surely known to the better educated among the mariners, and this precise knowledge makes them feel significantly more forsaken than those who enjoy perfect ignorance in this regard. Education, though reliable and helpful, is also treacherous.

Celebrate the 165th anniversary of Moby Dick by mourning Melville’s sunken Pequod; read Robert Walser’s thoughts on a shipwreck, here.


Girlfriends, Ghosts, and Other Stories, the latest translation of Walser’s work (Tom Whalen), was this September’s selection for the NYRB Classics Book Club. Sign up and you’ll get a one-year subscription to The Paris Review plus one new book from NYRB Classics every month.

February 28 - March 26, 2014

Opening Reception: Friday, Feb. 28, 7-10pm
Special Event: Sequential S'mores - Progressive Art Opening - with Sequential Artist’s Workshop and F.L.A. Gallery, Friday, Feb. 28, 6pm - 12am (click link for more info)

Gallery Protocol is pleased to announce Non Sequitur: Abstraction in Contemporary Sequential Art, an exhibition of comic and sequential art from artists Pat Aulisio, Derek Ballard, Josh Bayer, Erin Curry, CF, Hellen Jo, Aidan Koch, Emma Louthan, Molly Colleen O’Connell, Gary Panter, Raymond Pettibon, Ron Rege Jr, Frank Santoro, Dash Shaw, and Angie Wang. Collectively, these artists represent the past, present, and future of underground and independent comics - beginning with its origins in the punk and zine movements of southern California in the late 70’s, all the way through to its dispersal as a nationwide (and international) subculture today. 

As the show’s title suggests, the exhibition focuses particularly on how these artists incorporate notions or elements of abstraction within their work. Comics are uniquely positioned to engage with abstraction from both a narrative, linguistic (semiotic), and visual perspective.  In that sense, they combine the abstraction of the novelist, the poet, and the painter all into one. Beginning with the assertion that all systems of representation are abstract, the exhibition examines the results of this conflation and how these different threads of abstraction compound, complicate, temper, or derail one another as they operate side by side within the confines of a single undertaking. The exhibition features original and preparatory works in a range of media as well as published comics in a variety of printed formats.
