Synopsis

Elaborately and individually designed.

The new artist's book by Paul McCarthy (*1945 in Salt Lake City) represents a major work that refers both to the real and the mythically-laden site of artistic creativity: The Box is McCarthy's studio, an everyday sphere that the artist has tipped into the weightless and grotesque. Inconspicuous from the outside, like a shipping crate, the work inside reveals an almost overwhelming diversity of objects and the intimate atmosphere of the artist's mindscape. Size and content correspond exactly to the space in Pasadena, California, that McCarthy has used as a studio since the nineties. The entire space and all of its approximately three thousand objects, from a steel cabinet to a pencil, is tipped ninety degrees on its side; the viewer senses a consequential shift that is effectively carried out in the haptic quality of the book with its numerous images.
