<b>A concise, accessible and global overview of modern and contemporary queer art, co-written by notable curators in the field.</b><br/><br/> Queer narratives have long been overlooked - or actively erased - by art history. In recent years this has begun to shift, with a more intentional effort to apply a queer lens to the visual arts. <i>Queer Art</i> expands this conversation, recognizing queerness not as a genre but as a gesture - defined by resistance to convention.<br/><br/> Spanning generations and geographies, <i>Queer Art</i> paints a rich picture of LGBTQIA+ visual culture, interrogating reductive views that equate queerness with homoeroticism and proven identity. Four thematic chapters explore key concerns - selfhood, liberation, resilience and the future - as expressed in the work of artists such as David Hockney, Helio Oiticica, Catherine Opie, Lotte Laserstein, Xiyadie and others. The result is a vital and expansive vision of queer artistry and aesthetics.

When did Russia lose its chance of freedom? 1990: As a new openness sweeps Russia, a talented young physicist, Boris Nemtsov, begins his career in politics. Charismatic, confident, liberal and vehemently opposed to corruption, he swiftly rises to prominence. For the first time, another future seems possible. 2015: Putin holds the country in the grip of tyranny once more. Nemtsov, now his fiercest and most unrelenting opponent, is assassinated on a Moscow bridge. This is the story of how a nation's dreams of democracy died. Drawing on buried archives and off-the-record interviews, exiled journalist Mikhail Fishman gives a gripping insider account of the tragedy of modern Russia, told through many lives of Boris Nemtsov - activist, playboy, leader-in-waiting, dissident and, finally, victim. From the economic reforms under Boris Yeltsin to Vladimir Putin's oligarchy, through two wars in Chechnya and the invasion of Ukraine, this is the story of a man fired by the belief that Russia could, still, have another future.

<br/><br/>AI is a continuous and narrowing balancing act. Companies unleashing powerful new AI models have to balance safety and speed, but the markets only reward them for the latter. Alignment remains science fiction. <br/><br/>Like all technology, AI can be used for good and bad. But when <i>bad </i>could mean auto-hacking a power grid, AI-scamming bank networks or designing new pandemic viruses using only a prompt, freedom enables disasters. Here we have to balance the narrowing path between potentially disastrous freedom with the dystopia of a surveillance state.  <br/><br/>Sure, mankind has handled transformational tools before. But not a tool that can create infinite new tools. AI is ultimately the last tool we have to invent, but it will also be mankind's ultimate test. <br/><br/>What happens when AI exponentially empowers everyone but also keeps polarising and radicalising us for maximum social media engagement? AI feels democratizing but is ultimately a winner-take-all technology. What happens when AI makes the wealth gap peak?  <br/><br/>What happens when nobody can distinguish real content from deepfake? How will the legal system work when evidence, alibis and implications can be generated? Can <i>Universal Basic Income</i> feed an unemployable world? <br/><br/>This book lists more problems than solutions, reflecting another unsettling imbalance. Some problems are fixable but some are so systemically deep that the best we can do is understand and talk about them before it s too late. <br/><br/><b>About the author</b>: Eric Langenskiöld is an awarded AI keynote speaker, startup investor and serial entrepreneur.
