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.
