Book
Softcover. Condition: Good. Aernout Mik's work forcefully combines video and architecture to transform exhibition spaces into vivid, unsettling tableaux of irrational human behavior. In Refraction, the viewer comes upon an accident the moment after it has occurred: An overturned bus fills a screen, rescue workers are scrambling, and traffic appears backed up for miles. No victims of the accident are depicted, although their absence does not seem to strike anyone as peculiar. As the camera shifts its perspective from the inside of the bus to the backup of cars to the ditch in front of the bus, an unspoken antagonistic energy slowly builds between various players in the scene. Refraction is presented as a rear-screen projection on a slightly bent wall, the shape of which visually echoes the jackknifed carriage of the bus.

Book
Hardcover. Condition: Good. This is an in-depth examination of the work of seven international emerging artists who have embraced a novel and challenging approach to painting. By employing a varied mix of painterly styles, modes, sources and materials, as well as working against a single recognizable "hand," the featured artists have each crafted a complex and rich practice that offers innumerable avenues for exploration and growth. The artists Kai Althoff, Gillian Carnegie, Mark Grotjahn, Lucy McKenzie, Rodney McMillian, Ivan Morley and Anselm Reyle are guided by a variety of individual motivations and conceptual frameworks rather than the outward appearances of their canvases. Th book includes an essay by MOCA Assistant Curator Michael Darling.

Softcover. Condition: Good. HairStories explores the history, style, and meaning of black hair as seen through the eyes of three generations of African American artists. Showcasing more than 60 works by 27 artists, it spans nearly a century of visual art, pop culture, music, and literature, considering hair as a reflection of history, identity, and race relations in America, from the days of segregation to today.Historical works by artist Jacob Lawrence andphotographer James VanDerZee provide a chronological introduction, followed by key works by internationally recognized contemporary artists such as David Hammons, Alison Saar, and Lorna Simpson, and recent works by pivotal emerging artists including Mark Bradford and Kori Newkirk. Essays consider the syndrome of "good hair" versus "bad hair;" the importance of the barbershop and beauty salon as a center of the African American community; the social and political symbolism of hairstyles; and hair as an expression of individuality.

Hardcover. Condition: Good. Selected as the United States representative to the 2001 Venice Biennale, the sculptor and installation artist Robert Gober has, thanks to several major museum exhibitions in recent years, established himself as perhaps the most important artist of his generation, thanks to his symbolically charged re-creations of everyday objects that he makes into installations that question the ideals and values of childhood, family, home, and religion. This catalogue presents his work for the United States pavilion at the Biennale.

Hardcover. Condition: New. Product Description"Uncommon Sense" was an experimental program that employed unusual media (600 tons of crushed glass, a house frame, an MTA bus) and innovative spaces (the World Wide Web, a rodeo corral, T.V.'s Melrose Place) to develop relationships among artists, audiences, and institutions. This exhibition catalogue provides a valuable record of this groundbreaking collaboration and includes photographs by noted photographer Lyle Ashton Harris. Essays by Julie Lazar, Tom Finkelpearl, and Marita Sturken.From Library JournalDesigned to accompany the exhibition "Uncommon Sense," held earlier this year at the Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles, this collection of essays does more than elucidate; it provokes. Six projects, many of them ongoing since the close of the show, question the nature of museums and the social boundaries they inadvertently create. Participants include Ann Carlson, Karen Finley, and the Cornerstone Theater Company. Successful as installations, these projects often operate through the direct interaction of people. They are fine examples of art as activism, but they also concern dialog, cooperation, and mutual learning, and they indeed bring people together beyond?but also within?museum walls. Similar in sentiment to Culture in Action: A Public Art Program of Sculpture Chicago (LJ 3/15/95), this book belongs in academic and public libraries with strong contemporary collections.?Susan M. Olcott, Columbus Coll. of Art & Design, OhioCopyright 1997 Reed Business Information, Inc.

Hardcover. Condition: Good. F First Edition. One of Canada's most humorous conceptual artists--as witty as he is smart--Rodney Graham gets his first North American museum retrospective and accompanying catalogue. Rodney Graham: A Little Thought tracks the career of a brilliant, idiosyncratic artist whose work spans a range of media including photography, film, book works, installation and pop music. In this volume, amply illustrated with many never-before-seen images from early in his career as well as new photography of his most recent works, scholarly essays provide a broad context for viewing: Cornelia Butler looks at Graham's relationship to landscape and Canadian identity, Lynne Cooke examines the construction of the artist's persona in works such as City Self/ Country Self (2001), and Shep Steiner discusses the joke as a conceptual strategy for Graham. Diedrich Diederichsen considers the artist's oeuvre within the context of musical structure, and Sara Krajewski describes how Graham's video works unfold. Finally, Grant Arnold offers an in-depth illustrated chronology, tracing the range of activities that have occupied Graham since his early days on the Vancouver scene.

Michelson Galleries in Northampton, Massachusetts, to begin his latest photographic journey: Secret Selves. One hundred subjects from all walks of life: artists, clergy, politicians, business owners, were asked the question, Who do you think you are? Each subject was recorded as Mr. Nimoy interviewed them and created a portrait of their "alternate identity." The results were revealed in a major exhibition that began in the summer of 2010 at Mass MoCA, North Adams, MA.

Hardcover. Condition: Good. Encompassing the subjects of sexuality and erotica, The Aldrich Contemporary Museum presents this catalogue from the Contemporary Erotic Drawing exhibition, featuring more than 35 artists. In describing the immediacy and intimacy of drawing, Joseph Beuys once stated, "Drawing is thinking," and indeed, for many artists, drawing is a highly personal and revealing process in which raw ideas are expressed, allowing spontaneous imagery or thoughts to emerge. And so, to examine the subject of eroticism and human sexuality, it seems appropriate to examine these 100 drawings. Many of the images seem to work against images in the media, and so define what is erotic and titallating in their own terms. This 204-page catalogue includes drawings in varyious media by artists such as Ida Applebroog, Cecily Brown, Leon Golub, Tracy Nakayama, Mark Dean Veca and Su-en Wong; features two essays by Sue Taylor and Wayne Koestenbaum; and biographical information on the artists.

Hardcover. Condition: Good. A crafty master craftsman with the heart of a conceptualist, Roy McMakin makes furniture that pokes fun at itself and renovates historic houses to challenge archetypes. A sculptor, conceptual artist, and furniture maker, his clients have ranged from Lisa Eisner and Tommy Lee Jones to the Getty Museum's Los Angeles offices. This first monograph on the artist, published on the occasion of the first museum exhibition of his work, traces how his creations have evolved over the years, from the nonfunctional yet allusive sculptural works of the early 1980s, moving through the production furniture made for his Los Angeles-based company, Domestic Furniture Co., and culminating in the hillbilly modernist sensibility of his present pieces. It considers his approach to materials, which ranges from the art-like, constructivist plywood furniture of his classic domestic period to the exotic hardwoods he currently employs. An interesting hybrid of artist and designer, McMakin makes magic, and it's all there behind A Door Meant as Adornment.
