Circus Americanus is a riotous excursion through America's changing
visual landscape. Exploring its remote corners and bizarre byways,
Ralph Rugoff takes us on a tour of theme park slums and mystical
police cars, futurist war and the "aesthetics of safe chaos." With
an idiosyncratic eye for detail, he maps a culture in which
"reality" has become just another theme, revealing an America much
stranger than the glamorous kitsch of its surfaces. Whether he is
writing about Las Vegas casinos, forensic cartoons, the enigma of
Napoleon's preserved penis or the aesthetics of sewage treatment,
Rugoff considers everyday marvels with a concern for how we live
together in a world beyond belief.
