An anthology of writings, interviews, and images by artist Ed
Ruscha.Ed Ruscha is among the most innovative artists of the last
forty years. He is also one of the first Americans to introduce a
critique of popular culture and an examination of language into the
visual arts. Although he first made his reputation as a painter,
Ruscha is also celebrated for his drawings (made both with
conventional materials and with food, blood, gunpowder, and
shellac), prints, films, photographs, and books. He is often
associated with Los Angeles as a Pop and Conceptualist hub, but
tends to regard such labels with a satirical, if not jaundiced,
eye. Indeed, his work is characterized by the tensions between high
and low, solemn and irreverent, and serious and nonsensical, and it
draws on popular culture as well as Western art traditions. Leave
Any Information at the Signal not only documents the work of this
influential artist as he rose to prominence but also contains his
writings and commentaries on other artistic developments of the
period. The book is divided into three parts, each of which is
arranged chronologically. Part one contains statements, letters,
and other writings. Part two consists of more than fifty
interviews, some of which have never before been published or
translated into English. Part three contains sketchbook pages, word
groupings, and other notes that chart how Ruscha develops ideas and
solves artistic problems. They are published here for the first
time. The book also contains more than eighty illustrations,
selected and arranged by the artist.
Come as You Are: Art of the 1990s is the first major museum survey
to historicize art made in the United States during this pivotal
decade. Showcasing approximately sixty-five works by forty-five
artists, the book includes installations, paintings, sculptures,
drawings, prints, video, sound, and digital art. Come as You Are
offers an overview of art made in the United States between 1989
and 2001, a period bookended by two indelible events: the fall of
the Berlin Wall and 9/11. The book is organized around three
principal themes - the identity politics" debates, the digital
revolution, and globalization; its title refers to the 1992 song by
Nirvana and to the issues of identity that were complicated by
effects of new technologies and global migration. All the artists
in the exhibition made their initial entry into the art historical
discourse during the 1990s, and they reflect the increasingly
heterogeneous nature of the art world during this time, when many
women artists and artists of color attained unprecedented
prominence. Contributors include Huey Copeland, Jennifer Gonzalez,
Suzanne Hudson, Joan Kee, Frances Jacobus-Parker, Kris Paulsen,
Paulina Pobocha, and John Tain. Published in association with the
Montclair Art Museum.
