Boo-Hooray Catalog #7: Posters

Boo-Hooray Catalog #7: Posters

Boo-Hooray is proud to present our seventh antiquarian catalog, dedicated to the poster. An incredibly diverse medium, posters deliver a message in a brief and graphic burst. This ephemeral form of communication is often left unarchived and lost to the annihilatory tick of the clock, coinciding with the one-off nature of what the posters document and announce: an exhibition, a protest, a meeting, a performance, a happening. This catalog gathers posters across a wide array of subjects such as film, art, theatre, politics, and literature; and in a variety of modes of address: polemical, didactic, and annunciatory. Included are signed posters by filmmaker John Waters, a poster advertising an early exhibition by Memphis designer Ettore Sottsass, a remarkable poster from the Young Lords Party, a Swedish Black Power poster, and much more.

Boo-Hooray Catalog #6: Factory Records

Boo-Hooray Catalog #6: Factory Records

Boo-Hooray is proud to present our sixth antiquarian catalog, dedicated to Factory Records. This catalog gathers pieces from the material history of one of the most forward-thinking record labels of the 20th Century. Renowned for inventive and genre-pushing music, innovative design, and a tongue-in-cheek take on themselves and the world, Factory Records helped shape the post-punk era as well as modern design and typography. Reflecting their deep involvement in the creation of not just records but an alternative music subculture, social scene, and aesthetic language, Factory Records gave catalog numbers to virtually anything associated with the label. Accessioning items as seemingly unimportant as stationary and Christmas gifts, along with more serious projects like their club and promotional campaigns, fostered the cheeky and self-aware personality that distinguished Factory from corporate labels and overly self-serious independents. This catalog includes the unreleased and exceptionally rare FAC 1 poster, the hand-drawn original flipbook by Robert Breer and William Wegman for the Blue Monday '88 video, and tons of original poster, flyers, and broadsides made for Factory Records.

Boo-Hooray Catalog #5: Black Cultures in Post-War America

Boo-Hooray Catalog #5: Black Cultures in Post-War America

Boo-Hooray is proud to present our fifth antiquarian catalog, dedicated to some of the cultural, political, and artistic trajectories of Black people in the post-war United States. This catalog follows the internationalization of Black freedom movements, the confluence of political and cultural, and the influence of Black freedom struggles on political mass movements of the time. A manuscript letter from the mother of one of the victims of the 1963 Birmingham church bombing is also included, as well as a handmade sign from the 1960s, and flyers and handbills from small towns around the world, and both well-known and lesser-known artists’ responses to the political struggles for freedom. This catalog follows the growth of the civil rights movement and the spread of Black Americans political struggles and arts across the world. This catalog also notably includes a program from the church where both Martin Luther King Jr. and his father ministered, signed by both, from the week he won the Nobel Peace Prize.

Boo-Hooray Catalog #4: The Underground Press

Boo-Hooray Catalog #4: The Underground Press

Boo-Hooray is proud to present our fourth catalog, dedicated to the 1960s and ‘70s underground press. The newspapers and magazines presented here–along with innumerable peer publications–established a trans-Atlantic network of underground press. This network provided an alternative to mainstream news and culture outlets, which had proved to be inept at covering the rapidly evolving social and political landscapes in Western Europe and America. Though each had its own focus, these publications share histories of government prosecution, censorship, and surveillance; an animating mission of pushing the boundaries of cultural and political discourse; and shoestring budgets. Taken as a whole, these publications present a wide view of the countercultural zeitgeist of the 1960s and 70s.
