1969: The Black Box of Conceptual Art by Ann Stephen
4.0
'Presentness is grace' Michael Fried
Ann Stephen's central essay is a model of art historicity - the concisely particular in service of tracing out the broader currents.

Island 135 by Matthew Lamb
4.0
A considerable collection of non-fiction beside which the included fiction and poetry pale somewhat.
Highlights include:
- Geoff Heriot's Blurred Vision, a fascinating case study in managing change based on Heriot's time as an ABC employee seconded to the South African Broadcasting Corporation.
- editor Matthew Lamb's meaty, challenging interview with Tim Dunlop, author of 'The New Front Page: New Media and the Rise of the Audience'
- Ruth Quibell and Damon Young's interesting survey of how a range of writers manage their private lives and workloads.
The design of Island, with a plus-magazine format, is also a great display case for the art of Roger Ballen (whose 'Blinded' provides the cover image) and Leigh Hobba -amongst others- as well as being a beautiful object in its own right.

Gorse (No. 1) by Susan Tomaselli, David Gavan
The overall tone is enjoyably discursive and lightly erudite. Highlights include fiction from Matthew Jakubowski and Joanna Walsh and essays from Darren Anderson and Richard Kovitch.
