Jason Rhoades' Black Pussy Cocktail Coffee Table Book by Jason Rhoades Pdf

The final installment in a trilogy of work by American artist Jason Rhoades, which includes Meccatuna, 2003, and My Madinah: in pursuit of my ermitage, 2004, Black Pussy is a combination installation and interactive performance. Evoking the style of the coffee table social diary, the catalogue documents the events, known as Black Pussy Soirée Cabaret Macramé, held in the artists Los Angeles studio in 2006. Amidst the chrome trolleys, neon signs, dream catchers, cowboy hats, hookah pipes, and camel saddles which partially constitute the installation, guests were invited to contribute to Rhoades ongoing project of creating a cross-cultural compendium of euphemisms for female genitalia. Evolving to fit each location, the installation, which publicly debuted at Hauser & Wirth, London in 2005, will travel to David Zwirner, New York in November 2007. The catalogue, conceived by and designed in conjunction with the artist, includes a forward by Kevin West, West Coast editor of W magazine, as well as photographs by Joshua White and Alexia Pilat.

Jason Rhoades: PeaRoeFoam by Jason Rhoades Pdf

Up to his untimely death in 2006 at age 41, Jason Rhoades carried out a continuous assault on aesthetic conventions and the rules governing the art world—wryly subverting those very conditions by using them as materials for his work. In 2002, Rhoades introduced the world to his PeaRoeFoam, a “brand new product and revolutionary new material” created from whole green peas, fish-bait style salmon eggs, and white virgin-beaded foam. When combined with non-toxic glue, they transform into a versatile, fast-drying, and ultimately hard material that he intended for both utilitarian as well as artistic uses—his detailed step-by-step instructions accompanied do-it-yourself kits complete with everything needed to make PeaRoeFoam. Rhoades debuted his PeaRoeFoam project at David Zwirner in 2002 (then located on Greene Street in SoHo) in the first of a trilogy of exhibitions that also brought it to Vienna and Liverpool the same year. Following the original “PeaRoeFormance” at the gallery, the artist moved the equipment to the Museum Moderner Kunst Stiftung Ludwig Wien (MUMOK) in Vienna, where he added a makeshift karaoke studio, and then to the Liverpool Biennial, where he continued the production inside a giant, inflatable pool the shape and color of a human liver. PeaRoeFoam continued to be appropriated for subsequent works, but the majority of the leftovers and objects from all three “PeaRoeFormances” found a new place in Rhoades’s studio. Arranged on shelves covering the full length of a large wall, they remained on the location until after the artist’s death. The entirety of the installation, never previously shown, was exhibited as part of the comprehensive presentation of the PeaRoeFoam project at David Zwirner in New York in 2014. This seminal publication is the first to properly examine and situate PeaRoeFoam within Rhoades’s career and to acknowledge its importance within the overall framework of his practice. The 2014 exhibition at David Zwirner presented many of the individual components for the first time since their original installations, and this book discusses and reproduces those initial presentations in depth. Also included is an abundance of archival documents and photographs, installation views of all 2002 shows, as well as the artist’s diagrams and drawings. The publication also features a personal and revealing essay by David Zwirner, who began showing Rhoades’s work in the early 1990s, new scholarship by Julien Bismuth, and selected interviews from the Jason Rhoades Oral History project, conceived by Dylan Kenny and Lucas Zwirner, who have interviewed over fifty artists, curators, friends, collaborators, art historians, and others who intimately knew the artist—including curator and art historian Linda Norden.

Conceptual Art by Alexander Alberro,Blake Stimson Pdf

This landmark anthology collects for the first time the key historical documents that helped give definition and purpose to the conceptual art movement. Compared to other avant-garde movements that emerged in the 1960s, conceptual art has received relatively little serious attention by art historians and critics of the past twenty-five years—in part because of the difficult, intellectual nature of the art. This lack of attention is particularly striking given the tremendous influence of conceptual art on the art of the last fifteen years, on critical discussion surrounding postmodernism, and on the use of theory by artists, curators, critics, and historians. This landmark anthology collects for the first time the key historical documents that helped give definition and purpose to the movement. It also contains more recent memoirs by participants, as well as critical histories of the period by some of today's leading artists and art historians. Many of the essays and artists' statements have been translated into English specifically for this volume. A good portion of the exchange between artists, critics, and theorists took place in difficult-to-find limited-edition catalogs, small journals, and private correspondence. These influential documents are gathered here for the first time, along with a number of previously unpublished essays and interviews.

Video Green by Chris Kraus Pdf

"Video Green examines the explosion of late 1990s art produced by high-profile graduate programs that catapulted Los Angeles into the epicenter of the international art world. Probing the programs' own art-critical buzzwords, Chris Kraus asks how LA art came to be so completely divorced from the city's other realities. Radicalized beyond belief, Video Green does for contemporary art what Greil Marcus's Lipstick Traces did for the 20th century, mapping the persistence of peripheral culture."--BOOK JACKET.

Jason Rhoades by Jason Rhoades Pdf

American sculptor Jason Rhoades (1965-2006) is best known for immersive installations that simultaneously captivate, provoke and perplex. This book marks the installation at Glenstone Museum of the last major work completed by the artist before his untimely death: Black Pussy (2005-2006). The installation occupies approximately 4,000 square feet and includes thousands of seemingly random--yet deliberately chosen and precisely placed--objects, such as cowboy hats, hookah pipes, neon lights, Chinese scholar stones and dreamcatchers. The book explores this artwork against the backdrop of Rhoades' life and practice; and includes extensive installation photography and a roundtable discussion with Rhoades scholars and collaborators.

Jason Rhoades by Ingrid Schaffner Pdf

This volume examines the remarkable legacy of Jason Rhoades's complex body of work. The Los Angeles-based sculptor Jason Rhoades was widely celebrated for sprawling, ambitious, and daring installations, editions, and events prior to his untimely death in 2006. Although he was far better known in Europe than America, many of Rhoades's peers considered him to be one of the most important artists of his generation. In his work, cultural touchstones ranged from high to low, including the artists Marcel Duchamp, Donald Judd, and Paul McCarthy, race-car driver Ayrton Senna, actor Kevin Costner, the big bang, Swedish erotica, and the California gold rush. This volume, accompanying the first US survey of his works, centers on four highly sensory, large-scale pieces that incorporate neon, radio, smoke rings, and even a model train into large environments that engulf the viewer. These four canonical installations are navigated via five critical essays that help unify Rhoades's labyrinthine, often-overwhelming methods into the single overarching project he envisioned. The book also features illustrations of each major work dating from 1991 to 2006, accompanied by explanatory texts that illuminate Rhoades's materials and methods as both highly accessible and artistically complex.

"Judy - you are hysterical!" - Joan Rivers "Judy Tenuta is a force of nature. So are hurricanes and floods, but don't let that scare you. She occupies a stage better than we occupied Korea, and her show is a lot shorter. And she makes sense of pop culture, which only the truly demented can. You'll have fun thumbing through her." - Bruce Vilanch "I haven't read a single word yet, and already I can tell you that it's my favorite book ever!" - "Weird Al" Yankovic

No Small Matter by Felice C. Frankel,George M. Whitesides Pdf

A small revolution is remaking the world. The only problem is, we can’t see it. This book uses dazzling images and evocative descriptions to reveal the virtually invisible realities and possibilities of nanoscience. An introduction to the science and technology of small things, No Small Matter explains science on the nanoscale. Authors Felice C. Frankel and George M. Whitesides offer an overview of recent scientific advances that have given us our ever-shrinking microtechnology—for instance, an information processor connected by wires only 1,000 atoms wide. They describe the new methods used to study nanostructures, suggest ways of understanding their often bizarre behavior, and outline their uses in technology. This book explains the various means of making nanostructures and speculates about their importance for critical developments in information processing, computation, biomedicine, and other areas. No Small Matter considers both the benefits and the risks of nano/microtechnology—from the potential of quantum computers and single-molecule genomic sequencers to the concerns about self-replicating nanosystems. By making the practical and probable realities of nanoscience as comprehensible and clear as possible, the book provides a unique vision of work at the very boundaries of modern science.

Alex Israel: SPF 18 by Michael Berk,Alex Israel Pdf

This artist's book is conceived by Alex Israel and represents another element of his artwork and film, SP-18. Based in Los Angeles, Alex Israel engages with the culture of his surroundings: the local film industry, the cult of celebrity, the language of branding, the clichés of California cool and the aesthetic history of the region. SPF-18, the artist's multifaceted project, explores all of these themes and comprises a feature-length film, related artworks, sunscreen, a high school outreach program, and this book. In addition to the original screenplay by Michael Berk, published in its entirety, the book also features extensive on-set photography, which provides readers with a behind-the-scenes look at the making of the film and the project's overall sensibility. A nod to surf and teen films of the '80s and '90s, the artist's film rests firmly within the teen romance genre. Set against a Malibu summer backdrop, its cast of up-and-coming young actors are joined by Hollywood icons Molly Ringwald, Rosanna Arquette, Pamela Anderson, Goldie Hawn, and Keanu Reeves. The overarching goal of the project, Israel has expressed, is to inspire teens to find their voices through various creative outlets.

Pirates of Pensacola by Keith Thomson Pdf

The Cooke and Hood families have been at each other's throats since the Spanish Main days. The latest chapter in their piratic rivalry takes place in 2004, when an old treasure map turns up. None of this seems to matter to Morgan Cooke, a cowardly, landlubbing accountant entirely ignorant of his heritage until his estranged father, Isaac, in need of crewmen, kidnaps him and thrusts him into the fray. When Morgan wakes up on a boat in the middle of the Caribbean, he learns that piracy still flourishes, albeit with far more discretion than in the old days--pirates disguise their fast boats as shrimpers or tugs--but with no less bloodshed. Judging even a shot at riches vastly preferable to a return to his lonely, fluorescent-lit work station existence, Morgan pierces his ear, dons the eye patch and peg leg, and set sail for glorious adventure.
