Newport Beach (CA) (Images of America)
Pamela Lee Gray

Arcadia Publishing (SC), 2003

This collection of historical images documents the islands and villages of Newport, Balboa, and Corona del Mar. The seaside resorts had been a place for dory fishing, bustling wharf traffic with railroad transportation, and visitors who arrived in Pacific Electric Cars. The seaside fun-land was transformed into shipyards, a launch for sport-fishing, and a place of rest and relaxation for military personnel in World War II. These black and white ...
  
  











  



  
The Last Picture Show: Artists Using Photography 1960-1982
Giovanni Anselmo, Stefan Gronnert, ...

Walker Art Center, 2003

"Photography has become an increasingly pervasive medium of choice in contemporary art practice and is even employed at times by artists who do not necessarily consider themselves to be photographers. How did this come to be? The Last Picture Show will address the emergence of this phenomenon of artists using photography by tracing the development of conceptual trends in postwar photographic practice from its first glimmerings in the 60s in the ...

Rhea Anastas, Pamela Lee, ...

ICA Philadelphia, 2005

This is the first major American presentation of Barry Le Va's art in over 15 years, and one that brings together not only the artist's well-known, large-scale sculptures and drawings, but also his works in other media for which he is less known--text, photography, sound, and books.

Family Haggadah: A Seder for All Generations9 reviews
Eli Gindi, Elie M. Gindi, ...

Behrman House

The questions and BRIEF commentary generate discussion. Every section one needs for a "proper" ...
  
  











  



  
Object to Be Destroyed: The Work of Gordon Matta-Clark2 reviews
Pamela M. Lee

The MIT Press, 2001

an object to be preserved
Gordon Matta-Clark is one of those artists largely understood lightly, if at all, partially because of the lack of coverage of his work in most of art history. Lee's book goes a long way toward building a scholarship of G.M-C's work, especially in terms of its conceptual and analytical underpinnings. When seen in conjunction with P.S. 1's retrospective of his drawings in 1998, and the recent ...
  
  











  



  
Warhol's Dream
Saul Anton

JRP|Ringier, 2007

"12 February 1972--I had slept badly. I decided to go out for breakfast, but when I got down to the street, there was no one there, and I thought, Andy, you must be still dreaming. It was like New York at eight in the morning on New Year's Day. Completely deserted. Everything shut. It's my favorite time to be out, actually. I decided to go to my favorite diner, the Star Palace, on 37th and Madison. And there, sitting alone at the window was, ...
  
  











  



  
Chronophobia: On Time in the Art of the 1960s
Pamela M. Lee

The MIT Press, 2006

In the 1960s art fell out of time; both artists and critics lost their temporal bearings in response to what E. M. Cioran called "not being entitled to time." This anxiety and uneasiness about time, which Pamela Lee calls "chronophobia," cut across movements, media, and genres, and was figured in works ranging from kinetic sculptures to Andy Warhol films. Despite its pervasiveness, the subject of time and 1960s art has gone largely unexamined in ...
  
  











  



  
Firebirds Rising: An Anthology of Original Science Fiction and Fantasy1 review
Francesca Lia Block, Kara Dalkey, ...

Puffin, 2007

A Good Collection
I read the first collection, The Firebird, and feel in love all over again with Megan W. Turner and for this book, in addition to my already favorite authors, it introduced me to more of authors whose styles I like very much. First of all is Ellen Klages, with 'In The House of the Seven Librarians'. I love her prose and all the words make a nice song in my head. It was almost like a poetry. ...

X-Screen (Pop Art)
Branden Joseph, Matthias Michalka, ...

Walther Konig, 2004

For several years now, film and video have determined contemporary art and exhibitions on a scale unheard of since the 1960s and 1970s, but rarely have these roots themselves been explored. X-Screen presents a comprehensive historical analysis of expanded forms of filmic projection, arranging a complex constellation of films, performances, and installations according to three categories. First is an exploration of the expansion of the field of ...

Mark Godfrey, Glenn O'Brien, ...

Parkett, 2007

Volume 79 of the influential international art journal Parkett features Jon Kessler, Marilyn Minter and Albert Oehlen. In the tinkered gadgetry of Kessler's retro sci-fi installations, we peek through surveillance cameras to see our own image among his analog programs crammed with detritus of all kinds. Kessler's vista of (d)evolved cyberstuff is in a manic state of accumulation, as this data-diving artist masters the ecology of pure ...
