This sophisticated artist's book, with custom-cut cover and
partially exposed binding, documents John Bock's 2006 action,
"Maltreated Frigate"--the height as well as the culmination of this
rising German artist's performative work. Here, Bock's vision comes
to life in a multitude of color illustrations composed and collaged
by the artist. The libretto, printed in its entirety, explodes in
linguistic fireworks and tumbles down the printed page, solid in
its earthiness and ready to be constructed into a jumble of bizarre
and whimsical neologisms--vivid testimony to the artist's zest for
expression. "Maltreated Frigate" was performed as a spectacle in 10
scenes, a collision course of rock opera, Theater of the Absurd,
animated sculpture and puppet show. This raucous volume invites the
reader to accompany the artist and his protagonists along their
tour-de-force, stream-of-consciousness action. It is a violent ride
on a machine from hell, steered by an idiosyncratic inner logic.
Situated at the interaction of art, architecture, music,
mathematics, cosmology and science, Matthew Ritchie's "The Morning
Line" is a 33-foot high sound pavilion, constructed in aluminum and
conceived in part as a successor to Edgard Varese and Le
Corbusier's pavilion for the 1958 World's Fair, and Fritz
Bornemann's Expo '70 Pavilion. Designed in collaboration with New
York-based architects Aranda Lasch, the Arup Advanced Geometry Unit
and the Music Research Centre of York University, the structure was
inspired by the cosmological theories of Paul Steinhardt and Neil
Turok, and offered a sonic environment in which newly commissioned
works by well-known musicians were performed. This survey of the
project includes a book containing Todd Eberle's photographs of the
structure, a poster, a newspaper and a red vinyl LP with music by
contemporary electronica musicians such as Alexej Borisov, Tommi
Gronlund, Petteri Nisunen, Christian Fennesz, Carsten Nicolai,
Zsolt Olejnik, Finnbogi Petursson, Franz Pomassl, Terre Thaemlitz
and Zavoloka.
