(The book and print are in flawless, pristine condition; the corners of the clamshell box are slightly bumped). From the publisher: "Meridel Rubenstein mixes mediums and metaphors to make art about our tenuous connection to place. Originally trained as a photographer, she combines disparate materials such as earthy palladium prints with cold steel mounts, transparent photographic imagery sandblasted onto glass, video imagery projected onto cast glass, and digital still imagery on floating vellum and hand-coated tree bark papers. A sense of fragility, transparency, and passage in her works underscores a possibility for change. Her complex narrative photoworks and installations derive from a sense of place, personal and collective history, and myth-the landscape of the cultural mind. Nine intersecting bodies of work compose this book. The Lowriders is a series of color photographs of the customized cars owned by Latinos from northern New Mexico. Critical Mass is a collaborative work about the making of the first bomb at Los Alamos. The intersecting of the world of the Native American and the Nuclear Scientist is told through the story of one woman who they met. Oppenheimer';s Chair is a meditation on nature and the shedding of defensive postures after 50 years of the cold war. Also included is a series that stems from Rubenstein's 1997 trip to Vietnam, where she commenced a body of work tracing the trajectories of uprooting and replanting in relation to the Vietnam War."

This is a very rare portfolio based on Rubenstein's photo/text/video installation "Critical Mass," created between 1989 and 1993 in collaboration with Ellen Zweig, with technical assistance from Steina and Woody Vasulka. According to the Exhibition description at the MIT List Visual Arts Center, "The 50th anniversary of the atomic bomb, developed at the Los Alamos Laboratory and first detonated in the southern New Mexico desert on July 16, 1943, inspired artists Meridel Rubenstein, Woody and Steina Vasulka, and Ellen Zweig to probe the ironic juxtaposition of two very different elements of American society. 'Critical Mass,' a multimedia installation, examines the unusual meeting of J. Robert Oppenheimer and other Manhattan Project scientists with the American Indians of San Ildefonso Pueblo, whose land adjoins Los Alamos, New Mexico. Their worlds fused at 'the house at Otowi Bridge,' Edith Warner's Rio Grande riverside home where both groups patronized a small restaurant she operated during the 1940s." Born in Detroit, Michigan, in 1948, Rubenstein received her bachelor's degree in social science, with a film-making emphasis, from Sarah Lawrence College, and a Master's and M.F.A. degree from the University of New Mexico. She is the recipient of fellowships from the Guggenheim Foundation, the National Endowment for the Arts, and the Pollock-Krasner Foundation, and has taught photography at San Francisco State University and the Institute of American Indian Arts. The New Mexico Museum of Art, the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, and Smithsonian American Art Museum are among the institutions with her works in their collections. She currently lives and works in Santa Fe. Rubenstein inscribed our copy to its original owner, Arizona collector Arnold Horwitch.
