The Occupiers

The Making of the 99 Percent Movement

By: Michael A. Gould-Wartofsky

Occupy Wall Street burst onto the stage of history in the fall of 2011. First by the tens, then by the tens of thousands, protestors filled the streets and laid claim to the squares of nearly 1,500 towns and cities, until, one by one, the occupations were forcibly evicted. In The Occupiers, Michael Gould-Wartofsky offers a front-seat view of the action in the streets of New York City and beyond. Painting a vivid picture of everyday life in the square through the use of material gathered in the course of two years of on-the-ground investigation, Gould-Wartofsky traces the occupation of Zuccotti Park--and some of its counterparts across the United States and around the world--from inception to eviction. He takes up the challenges the occupiers faced, the paradoxes of direct democracy, and the dynamics of direct action and police action and explores the ways in which occupied squares became focal points for an emerging opposition to the politics of austerity, restricted democracy, and the power of corporate America. Much of the discussion of the Occupy phenomenon has treated it as if it lived and died in Zuccotti Park, but Gould-Wartofsky follows the evicted occupiers into exile and charts their evolving strategies, tactics, and tensions as they seek to resist, regroup, and reoccupy. Displaced from public spaces and news headlines, the 99 Percent movement has spread out from the financial centers and across an America still struggling to recover in the aftermath of the crisis. Even if the movement fails to achieve radical reform, Gould-Wartofsky maintains, its offshoots may well accelerate the pace of change in the United States in the years to come.

The One Of Hearts

By: Michael Mathiesen

Several years ago, I was highly entertained watching an episode of the Jerry Seinfeld TV sitcom. You know the one about the Bizarro Universe? It''s the one where everyone in Jerry''s circle of friends suddenly took on the opposite of their regular personalities. Kramer was no longer brainless and cuckoo. He was erudite and suave. Jerry was no longer debonair and sexy. He became more like Kramer. George, normally neurotic and anxious became learned, logical and highly personable. Elaine, instead of the steady, confident, amusing one in the group became haggard and silly and scary. After that show aired, I think everyone in the world started to see similar things going on in their world that mirrored the way that events flipped themselves and people reversed themselves in this first introduction to the ''Bizarro Universe''. It''s become kind of a standard way of explaining things that don''t make sense in our lives. But, more recently, I was playing cards with a bunch of friends and noticed, for the first time that the packs of cards we were all fresh and new all had the ''1''s missing. There was no ''1'' of spades, no ''1'' of clubs, no ''1'' of Diamonds and no ''1'' of hearts. There were no ''1''s. The actual full decks of all the playing cards in this universe don''t contain any ''1''s, and instead range from ''2'' to ''10'' and then there are the royals, and ''Aces'' holding more value than the rest. I asked everyone at the table why there were no ''1''s in any of our decks and the answers were as goofy as they were varied. No one knew, really, so as soon as I got home, I googled it. For some crazy reason that hasn''t been rectified in two hundred years of card-playing, some lesser-known Queen in Europe somewhere declared a law that playing cards would be taxed and taxed so heavily, that people took the ''1''s out in protest and this became the norm for all future card decks. Something like that. It''s vague. I could make no sense out of it. There''s also something about stamps in this non-sensical explanation. Whatever, the reason, certainly someone after two hundred years of paying these outrageous ''Card Taxes'' would change the rules so that the ''1''s could be recognized and put back in. But no one did because no one really noticed the difference. Think about that? In a rational universe, not this Bizarro one, this kind of blatant mistake would never happen in the first place, but if it did, it would have been rectified immediately. There are too many other reasons that make me come to the conclusion that we''re living in the Seinfeld ''Bizarro'' universe and I reveal most of the biggest ones in this book. But events are not just bizarre any more. It''s actually the ''Bad'' universe we''re living in - because events have gone way past Bizarre and are becoming extremely dangerous over here, even threatening to wipe us all out. The good news is that I have figured out where the ''Good Universe'' resides, how it can be used to help us in this one the BAD ONE and it''s so simple anyone can do it. It''s like a good magic trick, no a great magic trick, no it''s actually like the greatest of all magic tricks. At first, it mystifies us, but later after we learn how the master magician did it, we all want to do it and show off our skills to our friends. BUT - listen carefully - my card-playing friends - because EVERYONE MUST LEARN HOW TO DO IT, learn quickly and start doing it now. TIME''S RUNNING OUT. We all know there is something bigger than ourselves in the universe. But, the universe appears to be so big, it''s difficult to imagine something any bigger. But, when you simply ZOOM OUT of your preconceptions, you will be able to see something even larger than the universe that Astronomy tells us is only 13.7 billion years old. Zoom out of preconceived images of the universe, and you will ask - what happened prior to 13.7 billion years ago? Then, you feel the birthing of all things.

What is Gilbert & George?

By: Michael Bracewell

In answering the question posed by its title, and drawing on his twenty year relationship with the artists, Michael Bracewell is the first writer to engage directly with Gilbert & George to understand why they have devoted their lives exclusively and continuously - to the vision of art they conceived within months of first meeting. What emerges piece by piece is a portrait of Gilbert & George as two men who are infinitely more intense, strange, determined and alone than their longstanding public image suggests.
