HEADED INTO THE
ABYSS
The Story of Our Time,
and the Future We’ll Face
by Brian T. Watson
A unique, big-picture assessment
of the unprecedented forces and
developments besieging our soci-
eties and the world. Powerful and
interconnected, these forces and
their dynamics will carry us into
any number of disasters well before


  1. We have the knowledge and
    solutions to address our difficulties,
    but for many reasons we will not employ them.
    Describing the current interplay of capitalism, politics, technol-
    og y, the Internet, human nature, and other realities, the book is
    unflinching in its sobering conclusions.

ITALO SCANGA FOUNDATION

ITALO SCANGA
1932–2001
by Matthew Kangas,
foreword by Dale Chihuly
Italo Scanga’s life and career are
chronicled and analyzed as a “per-
manent immigrant,” someone end-
lessly traveling back and forth to
Italy and Europe, never fully at-
taining assimilation or integration
into American life. This formed
the basis for his subject matter,
content, and style. Coinciding with
“arte povera,” his installations at
landmark SoHo venues like 112 Greene Street from 1971 on were
widely hailed in Art in America, ARTnews, and Artforum by signifi-
cant art critics, paralleling his museum debut at the Whitney Mu-
seum of American Art in 1972, curated by Marcia Tucker.
978-1-57684-089-4 • Hardcover, $35.00 • 160 pages • Art History/
