Martha Wilson’s forthcoming PA Press book, Back to the Present: Fifty Years of Free Expression with Franklin Furnace

In 1976 artist Martha Wilson founded Franklin Furnace Archive, Inc. in downtown Manhattan. The alternative space quickly became a vital platform for avant-garde art.

This richly-illustrated volume traces Franklin Furnace’s impact from the gritty energy of the downtown ’70s art scene through the culture wars of the ’80s and ’90s and into today’s renewed debates around censorship, free speech, and artistic freedom.

Fifty years in the making, this unique publication brings together rare, never-before-seen archival material, first-person accounts from artists, newly commissioned essays offering battle plans for fighting today’s culture wars, and work by groundbreaking figures whose practices reshaped contemporary art.
