The extraordinary life of a captivating American artist,
beautifully illustrated with his dreamlike drawings Much of Joseph
Elmer Yoakum's story comes from the artist himself-and is almost
too fantastic to believe. At a young age, Yoakum (1891-1972)
traveled the globe with numerous circuses; he later served in a
segregated noncombat regiment during World War I before settling in
Chicago. There, inspired by a dream, he began his artistic career
at age seventy-one, producing some two thousand drawings over a
decade. How did Yoakum gain representation in major museum
collections in Chicago and New York? What fueled his process, which
he described as a "spiritual unfoldment"? This volume delves into
the friendships Yoakum forged with the Chicago Imagists that
secured his place in art history, explores the religious outlook
that may have helped him cope with a racially fractured city, and
examines his complicated relationship to African American and
Native American identities. With hundreds of beautiful color
reproductions of his dreamlike drawings, it offers the most
comprehensive study of the artist's work, illuminating his vivid
and imaginative creativity and giving definition and dimension to
his remarkable biography. Distributed for the Art Institute of

Resolutions 3 explores the wide-ranging implications of video art
and video-based production in contemporary media culture. It is the
third volume in a series composed of Resolution: A Critique of
Video Art (1986) and Resolutions: Contemporary Video Practices
(1996). While Resolution was one of the first critical texts on
video art in the United States, Resolutions was one of the first
books to address video as a medium across disciplines from
theoretical, activist, and transnational perspectives. Resolutions
3 articulates this legacy as a challenge to reengage with the
explosive viral reach of moving image-based content and its
infiltration into and impact on culture and everyday life. The
contributors to this work analyze what is now a fourth decade of
video practices as marked within and outside the margins of art
production, networked interventions, projected spectacle, museum
entombment, or 24/7 streaming. Intending to broaden, contest, and
amplify the mediated space that was defined by its two
predecessors, this volume investigates the ever-changing state of
video's deployment as examiner, tool, journal reportage,
improvisation, witness, riff, leverage, and document. Contributors:
