This monograph is the first comprehensive study of Italian artist Mariuccia Secol (*1929), who redefined the boundaries of feminist art through powerful textile and sculptural works. Her practice evolved from abstract painting in the 1950s and 1960s to innovative fabric assemblages, installations with everyday materials, ceramics, and collages. Thematically, her works revolve around issues such as the subordinate role of women, domestic violence, and social exclusion. Using embroidery, fabric deconstructions, and household objects, Secol created textile artworks that symbolize wounds and resilience and intensively address the political and social problems of our time. Mariuccia Secol was born in Castellanza (northern Italy) in 1929 and lives and works in Daverio near Milan. After completing her artistic training, she began exhibiting her work extensively and, in 1974, co-founded the feminist artist group Gruppo Feminist Immagine di Varese, with which she exhibited at the 1978 Venice Biennale. Today, her works are recognised worldwide and shown at important feminist art exhibitions, such as The Unexpected Subject: 1978 Art and Feminism in Italy at the FM Centre for Contemporary Art in Milan and Cooking, Cleaning, Caring: Care Work in the Arts Since 1960 at the Josef Albers Museum Quadrat in Bottrop.

Stories of the secret underground Cold Warera Soviet music subculture that distributed forbidden music on used hospital x-rays.During the Cold War era, the songs that Soviet citizens could listen to were ruthlessly controlled by the state. But a secret underground subculture of music lovers and bootleggers defied the censors, building recording machines and making their own records of forbidden jazz, rock n roll, and Russian music, cut onto used hospital x-ray film. Bone Music is the follow up the acclaimed X-Ray Audio: The Strange History of Soviet Music on the Bone, delving deeper into a forgotten era when being a music fan could mean a lengthy prison sentence, or worse. Who made these records? Why did they do it and how was it even possible? Foregrounding interviews and oral testimonies gathered over five years, Bone Music presents the stories of the original bone bootleggers, their customers, musicians, record collectors, and commentators, evoking a spirited resistance to a repressive culture of prohibition and punishment. It reveals that although Western jazz and rocknroll were important to the Stilyagi youth culture, the true rebel music was that of forbidden Russian emigres, gypsy romances, and criminal tunes: the soul songs of a society brutally cut off from its culture. Richly illustrated with dozens of new images of Soviet x-ray discs and sound letters, Bone Music details how the bootleggers worked, outlining the technical precedents of their techniques, situating their discs in a revised history of recorded media, and bringing a wealth of compelling new detail.
