Trade Paperback. Condition: New. Representing contemporary artists from the last half century, this unique exhibition catalog captures the spirit of a daring experiment to pair California icons with their new millennium comrades. In the 1960s and 1970s a group of aesthetic adventurers transformed L.A. from cultural desert to artistic oasis. These West Coast artists, poets, dancers, filmmakers, and photographers fomented a creative outburst that rivaled New York City's. Nearly four decades later, Southern California remains a fertile ground for some of the most exciting and daring art being made today. This fascinating book accompanying an exhibition of the same name explores the two 'Schools of Cool' in collaborative, intergenerational pairings between John Baldessari and Shana Lutker; Llyn Foulkes and Stanya Kahn; George Herms and Sarah Cain; Ed Moses and Robert Williams; and Allen Ruppersberg and Amanda Ross-Ho. These pairs have worked together on new, collaborative installations that reveal and transcend the shifts that have taken place in the art world in the past half century-including the increasing prominence of female artists, distinct methodologies and artistic practices, and the use of new technologies. This catalog features the five installations-including paintings and works on paper, sculptures and assemblages, audio-video and interactive installations-that are the result of these collaborations, as well as insightful interviews with the curator and with the artists in which the artists offer thoughts on their own work, their collaborative process, and their projects for the exhibition.

Hardcover. Condition: New. Issued in connection with an exhibition held June 6, 2009-May 2, 2010, Frances Young Tang Teaching Museum and Art Gallery, Skidmore College, Saratoga Springs, New York. A few years before his death in 1984, the conceptual artist Stan VanDerBeek recalled a dream he had of the ideal exhibition space: a dark room with 'projected images, movies, and stills everywhere,' which he playfully referred to as 'Amazement Park.' Taking inspiration from that dream, this project combines artwork by the influential filmmaker and artist with work by his daughter, Sarah, and son, Johannes, both contemporary artists. This unique book captures the ensuing exhibition: a studio-like space that changed every month for one year and featured works by all three artists. The drawings, photographs, video and sculpture that revolved in and out of the exhibition reflect the artists' common interest in re-combination and collage, ephemeral materials and architectural forms. The experience afforded son and daughter the chance for a working dialog with each other and their father, who died when they were still children. Editor Ian Berry interviews Sara and Johannes VanDerBeek about their work and that of their father, and essays explore each artist's oeuvre in detail.
