Book excerpt: "Juxtapoz Black and White spotlights 28 contemporary artists from David Shrigley to Shantell Martin, Geoff McFetridge to Katy Ann Gilmore, who strip their work down to basic, often breathtaking black and white. The immutable black line is primal and direct, originating in prehistoric cave drawings first rendered in charcoal eons ago. Within the pages of Juxtapoz Black & White, an impressive list of artists with fascinating results affirm the role monochromatic treatments play in their practice. Paintings and drawings bolster this dialogue in lavishly presented, oversize format. More fascinating contributors such as Cleon Peterson, Saner, Matt Leines, Brendan Monroe, Mrzyk & Moriceau, Carl Krull, Nicomi Nix Turner and many more join the armament of black and white offerings"--Publisher's description.

Download or read book Slapstick Performance written by Brad Downey and published by Dokument Forlag. This book was released on 2018-10-18 with total page 432 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Brad Downey is a Berlin-based, Kentucky-born artist who has made radical and inspiring artworks all across the globe. This book presents the first full assessment of his works: sculptures, architecture, performances, installations, films, drawings, collages and activism, all inspired by the objects and activities of daily life. With humor, sensitivity, and insight, Downey examines the fabric of our cities and our forgotten margins and disputed borders. In doing so, he weaves new narratives into their chaotic patterns and makes vague the divisions between art and the everyday. Through an abundance of texts, photos, film-stills, drawings, sketches, collages, portraits and self-portraits, Downey becomes comprehensible as both a conceptual and a performative artist who is not the least bit concerned about the distinction between high- and lowbrow culture. In addition, the wealth of collaborative productions that is shown in this book and that distinguishes and informs, Downey's own artistic practice opens up a view of the broad and international network in which the artist operates across the globe. The book was conceived in close collaboration with the artist, edited by Lukas Feireiss and contains texts by Jimmie Durham, Hrag Vartanian, Alain Bieber, Rafael Schacter, Matthew Murphy, Angelique Spaninks, Jennifer atcher, Marc Wellmann, and Ed Zipco.

Download or read book Ed Hardy Deeper than Skin written by Karin Breuer and published by Rizzoli Publications. This book was released on 2022-03-22 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Legendary American tattoo artist Ed Hardy's groundbreaking tattoos, flash, drawings, and artworks are gathered together for the first time in one brash book. Ed Hardy's (b. 1945) unique vision spans decades, creating an indelible mark on popular culture. Accompanying a major exhibition, this profusely illustrated survey of his life in art traces his inspirations, rooted both in traditional American tattooing of the first half of the twentieth century and in the imagery of Japan's ukiyo-e era. Hardy, raised in Southern California, became intrigued with tattoo art at the age of ten, setting up shop in his parents' den. After attending the San Francisco Art Institute in the 1960s, he rejected a graduate fellowship from Yale to apprentice at studios up and down the West Coast. It was his intention to rescue tattooing from its subculture, "outsider" status and elevate it to at least the level of folk art. Hardy's success at breathing new life into the art form is chronicled in a plethora of tattoo designs, paintings, drawings, prints, and three-dimensional work spanning fifty years. While the world that inspires him may be lost, Hardy's distinct visual language is vibrantly alive within American visual vernacular, synonymous to some with the spirit of the West Coast itself.

He loves New Testament stories and the surreal visions they conjure; in this local 19th century mission, he was moved by the crude, darkened old Mexican religious paintings, a hybrid of European and vernacular Mexican art.
