Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Up to his untimely death in 2006 at age 41, Jason Rhoades carried out a continuous assault on aesthetic conventions and the rules governing the art world—wryly subverting those very conditions by using them as materials for his work. In 2002, Rhoades introduced the world to his PeaRoeFoam, a “brand new product and revolutionary new material” created from whole green peas, fish-bait style salmon eggs, and white virgin-beaded foam. When combined with non-toxic glue, they transform into a versatile, fast-drying, and ultimately hard material that he intended for both utilitarian as well as artistic uses—his detailed step-by-step instructions accompanied do-it-yourself kits complete with everything needed to make PeaRoeFoam. Rhoades debuted his PeaRoeFoam project at David Zwirner in 2002 (then located on Greene Street in SoHo) in the first of a trilogy of exhibitions that also brought it to Vienna and Liverpool the same year. Following the original “PeaRoeFormance” at the gallery, the artist moved the equipment to the Museum Moderner Kunst Stiftung Ludwig Wien (MUMOK) in Vienna, where he added a makeshift karaoke studio, and then to the Liverpool Biennial, where he continued the production inside a giant, inflatable pool the shape and color of a human liver. PeaRoeFoam continued to be appropriated for subsequent works, but the majority of the leftovers and objects from all three “PeaRoeFormances” found a new place in Rhoades’s studio. Arranged on shelves covering the full length of a large wall, they remained on the location until after the artist’s death. The entirety of the installation, never previously shown, was exhibited as part of the comprehensive presentation of the PeaRoeFoam project at David Zwirner in New York in 2014. This seminal publication is the first to properly examine and situate PeaRoeFoam within Rhoades’s career and to acknowledge its importance within the overall framework of his practice. The 2014 exhibition at David Zwirner presented many of the individual components for the first time since their original installations, and this book discusses and reproduces those initial presentations in depth. Also included is an abundance of archival documents and photographs, installation views of all 2002 shows, as well as the artist’s diagrams and drawings. The publication also features a personal and revealing essay by David Zwirner, who began showing Rhoades’s work in the early 1990s, new scholarship by Julien Bismuth, and selected interviews from the Jason Rhoades Oral History project, conceived by Dylan Kenny and Lucas Zwirner, who have interviewed over fifty artists, curators, friends, collaborators, art historians, and others who intimately knew the artist—including curator and art historian Linda Norden.

Book excerpt: This volume examines the remarkable legacy of Jason Rhoades's complex body of work. The Los Angeles-based sculptor Jason Rhoades was widely celebrated for sprawling, ambitious, and daring installations, editions, and events prior to his untimely death in 2006. Although he was far better known in Europe than America, many of Rhoades's peers considered him to be one of the most important artists of his generation. In his work, cultural touchstones ranged from high to low, including the artists Marcel Duchamp, Donald Judd, and Paul McCarthy, race-car driver Ayrton Senna, actor Kevin Costner, the big bang, Swedish erotica, and the California gold rush. This volume, accompanying the first US survey of his works, centers on four highly sensory, large-scale pieces that incorporate neon, radio, smoke rings, and even a model train into large environments that engulf the viewer. These four canonical installations are navigated via five critical essays that help unify Rhoades's labyrinthine, often-overwhelming methods into the single overarching project he envisioned. The book also features illustrations of each major work dating from 1991 to 2006, accompanied by explanatory texts that illuminate Rhoades's materials and methods as both highly accessible and artistically complex.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The final installment in a trilogy of work by American artist Jason Rhoades, which includes Meccatuna, 2003, and My Madinah: in pursuit of my ermitage, 2004, Black Pussy is a combination installation and interactive performance. Evoking the style of the coffee table social diary, the catalogue documents the events, known as Black Pussy Soirée Cabaret Macramé, held in the artists Los Angeles studio in 2006. Amidst the chrome trolleys, neon signs, dream catchers, cowboy hats, hookah pipes, and camel saddles which partially constitute the installation, guests were invited to contribute to Rhoades ongoing project of creating a cross-cultural compendium of euphemisms for female genitalia. Evolving to fit each location, the installation, which publicly debuted at Hauser & Wirth, London in 2005, will travel to David Zwirner, New York in November 2007. The catalogue, conceived by and designed in conjunction with the artist, includes a forward by Kevin West, West Coast editor of W magazine, as well as photographs by Joshua White and Alexia Pilat.

Book excerpt: American sculptor Jason Rhoades (1965-2006) is best known for immersive installations that simultaneously captivate, provoke and perplex. This book marks the installation at Glenstone Museum of the last major work completed by the artist before his untimely death: Black Pussy (2005-2006). The installation occupies approximately 4,000 square feet and includes thousands of seemingly random--yet deliberately chosen and precisely placed--objects, such as cowboy hats, hookah pipes, neon lights, Chinese scholar stones and dreamcatchers. The book explores this artwork against the backdrop of Rhoades' life and practice; and includes extensive installation photography and a roundtable discussion with Rhoades scholars and collaborators.

Book excerpt: Valiz's Antennae series picks up new currents in the arts and commissions essays that transmit current waves of thought. The Fall of the Studio: Artists at Work, a collection of new essays examining the role and significance of the artist's studio in the cultural production and criticism of the second half of the twentieth century, is its first publication. It critically assesses the changes that have occurred in the nature and function of the artist's studio from the postwar period on. A blend of art history, art criticism and art theory, written in an accessible, non-academic style, the book illuminates a number of artists' studio habits--from the 1960s through the present--including Eva Hesse, Mark Rothko, Olafur Eliasson, Bruce Nauman, Robert Morris, Daniel Buren, Martin Kippenberger, Paul McCarthy, Jason Rhoades and Jan De Cock.

Book excerpt: Unique Editions collects a group of key artist's books and editions by the German-born, sometimes-Swiss, sometimes-Icelandic cult artist, Dieter Roth (1930 -1998). All of the books, graphic and multiple editions gathered here are one-of-a-kind works of art, for Roth eschewed traditional artistic procedures. (He regularly made use of non-art mediums such as chocolate, cheese, sausage and banana to create unique, fugitive works.) What distinguishes this publication is that at least two examples of each edition are shown together, demonstrating Roth's exploration of difference within structures of sameness. The majority of the works collected here were made by the artist in his studio, and they clarify the ways in which his hands-on, do-it-yourself approach challenged conventional genres. Roth influenced many artists over the last four decades of his life, inlcuding Martin Kippenberger and Jason Rhoades. These books and editions are arguably his most significant contributions to art history.

Book excerpt: "Encompassing some 100 works in painting, sculpture, video, and installation, The Everywhere Studio brings together over 50 artists from the past five decades to reveal the artist’s studio as a charged site that has both predicted and responded to broader social and economic changes of our time. The Everywhere Studio interprets the works of post-war artists and emerging practitioners through the lens of the social and historical conditions in which they were made. Organized chronologically, the exhibition examines the changing relationships that artists have had to their sites of production. From the studio as a site of labor, to one that blurs production, performance, and spectacle, to a concept that defines the artist’s own identity, the exhibition features artists who, in response, to changing socio-economic influences, represented new modes of working and living that would subsequently spread across society."--Back cover.
