Item description from seller

48 pp.; 29.8 x 23 cm.; sewn bound; black-and-white & color; edition size 1000; unsigned and unnumbered; offset-printed Artist's book / exhibition catalogue published in conjunction with show held at Glenn Horowitz Bookseller, East Hampton, NY, August 12- September 16, 2006. Includes a text by John McWhinnie. "These pictures by Terry Richardson may be worth only 999 words - but who is counting? And who cares? Any way you add it up it amounts to the same thing: absolutely nothing. We're born. We die. In between there's school and work. When you are a teenager that's an adult truth you learn with your skin, whether you ink, scab or score it. And these kids, Richardson and his mates, denizens of Ojai, California's youth scene ca. early nineteen eighties, make the best of these existential bookends by raging with the machinery of their choice: music fueled by electric guitars, drum kits, juiced amps, alcohol and attitude. In the primitive mosh pits of the SSA (Signal Street Alcoholics, Richardson's crew) there's nothing but life, even if it's spinning, in some cases, headlong into oblivion. Or boredom. Kids with an attitude going anywhere fast: a new generation of holy goofs and angry outsiders that appear to parents merely as teenagers in trouble. But from the perspective of rock-n-roll high school, the only perspective that counts, it's an age when nothing matters and everything makes a difference. When there is such a thing as no future and plenty of time to figure it out, fuck it up or wait for it to happen: when you are styling your hair and your identity to avoid merely going with the flow. Richardson's photographs remind you that everybody was trying to be unique and looking remarkably similar. But that was the point of this the rebel cry: to be you and nobody else, but to do it in a way that gathered simpatico with like haircuts and frayed t-shirts into basements to strike similar chords. Three chords, three minutes. D.I.Y. It was also something more. Posturing? Yes. Not naive or innocent, not worldly either, but some attitude that embodied them both in the beginning of a worldly awareness. It was a punk worldview that gave the finger to everything in its way."--from McWhinnie's text. Fine. Contents clean and unmarked. Due to large size and weight additional shipping charges will be required for international orders. …

Description de la boutique

Specific Object is a gallery, bookstore, and think-tank dedicated to art post 1958 - specifically pop, Fluxus, minimal and conceptual - with an interest in the art that informed the 1960s and 1970s, as well as artists whose works organically followed from the era. Specific Object is always interested in purchasing artwork as well as used books, ephemera and other objects of interest. Specific Object works to isolate distinct works of value - historically, monetarily and / or intellectually valuable - and show them in isolated contexts, allowing these works, or objects, their own place, space and time. The material Specific Object presented ranged from artists' publications, ephemera, prints, multiples and other editions to literature, music / audio works and unique artworks of the contemporary world. In November 2004 Specific Object acquired the inventory of Barbara Moore's bookstore Bound & Unbound. Through her bookshops Bound & Unbound and its predecessor Backworks, founded in 1976, Moore has been a seminal and innovative champion of artists working in alternative mediums. From 1998 through 2004 David Platzker was the Executive Director of the non-profit institution Printed Matter, Inc. He is also the co-author, and co-curator - with Elizabeth Wyckoff - of "Hard Pressed: 600 Years of Prints and Process" (International Print Center New York & Hudson Hills Press, 2000); and - with Richard H. Axsom - the book and exhibition entitled "Printed Stuff: Prints, Posters, and Ephemera by Claes Oldenburg : A Catalogue Raisonné 1958-1996" (Madison Art Center & Hudson Hills Press, 1997), which was awarded the George Wittenborn Award for Best Art Publication of 1997 by the Art Libraries Society of North America. He has curated exhibitions of the works of Art & Project, John Baldessari, Marcel Broodthaers, Documenta 5, Conceptual Art, Marcel Duchamp, Donald Judd, John McLaughlin, Bruce Nauman, Oldenburg, Raymond Pettibon, Dieter Roth, and Edward Ruscha in addition to commissioning or curating exhibitions at Printed Matter of Angelblood, Larry Clark, Erin Cosgrove, Meg Cranston, General Idea, Jenny Holzer, Reverend Jen, Allan Kaprow, Yoko Ono, Ryan McGinness, Sonic Youth, Tom Sachs, David Tremlett, Richard Tuttle and the Guerrilla Girls. Platzker was also the host of WPS1.org's Recorded Matter online radio program. Archived programs can be found at www.artonair.org. His writings have been included in Claude Closky: Hello And Welcome, I Love John Giorno, Jonathan Monk: In Relief (My Collection of Sol LeWitt Books - Exact Size, Shape and Occasionally Colour), 2015. From 2013 through 2018 Platzker was Curator of Drawings and Prints at The Museum of Modern Art, New York, where he curated the exhibitions "There Will Never Be Silence: Scoring John Cage's 4'33"" with Jon Hendricks; "Sites of Reason: A Selection of Recent Acquisitions" with Erica Papernik; "Gilbert & George: The Early Years; and Adrian Piper: A Synthesis of Intuitions, 1965 - 2016" with Connie Butler and Christophe Cherix. He authored essays for the catalogues "Yoko Ono: One Woman Show, 1960-1971," "Louise Lawler : Receptions," "Being Modern: Building the Collection of The Museum of Modern Art," and the critical theory volume "Art and Theory of Post-1989 Central and Eastern Europe: A Critical Anthology" (MoMA Primary Documents). His additional MoMA publications include the vinyl LPs "There Will Never Be Silence," "The Thoughts of Gilbert & George," and "Antonio Dias: The Space Between" as well as the artists' books "Yoko Ono: Grapefruit" and "The Conquest of Space: Atlas for the Use of Artists and the Military" by Marcel Broodthaers. Recent writings also include "A Love Supreme: Charles Gaines and Trees," in "Charles Gaines : Palm Trees and Other Works" (Hauser & Wirth) and "John Baldessari Gets Booked" in "John Baldessari Catalogue Raisonné, Volume Six: 2011 - 2019" (Marian Goodman / Yale Univ. Press). Visit www.specificobject.com for our complete inventory.…
