OUT OF STOCK Michael Asher/James Coleman Internationally-known artists Michael Asher and James Coleman both use the gallery site at Artists Space as a point of departure for their work at Artists Space; however, whereas Coleman's work is additive, Asher's is deductive– Coleman builds and Asher erases. In the work of these two conceptual artists, the concept is as important as the visual work itself, and their ideas compel us all to reconsider the environments in which we live.

OUT OF STOCK The Curio Shop A curio shop is typically a store selling exotic oriental goods and trinkets to, in our case, an American market. GODZILLA, also known as The Asian American Arts Network, organized this curio shop as group show of 48 member artists challenging the Asian stereotype of foreign oddity. The Curio Shop was the final show of Artists Space's three-part series, ""The New World Order."" CONTEMPORARY ART PB, 20 pp., b&w illus. 1993 code: asp cur H-4

OUT OF STOCK From Here to Eternity: Fact and Fiction in Recent Architecture From Here to Eternity is an archive of highly inventive and original architectural ideas. Using factual architectural analysis to process "fictions," including filmmaking, Kafka, and space exploration, eight architects created drawings, models, and sculptures of an extra-ordinary variety. Completely unrealistic, these renderings were never meant to be built, but rather, present an imaginative outlook on buildings and space and conceptions of how architecture will approach the future.

OUT OF STOCK The Los Angeles New York Exchange New York and Los Angeles represent the most vital centers of cultural activity in the USA, but the stereotypes they keep of one another are opposite faces of a coin: New York, overly intellectual and arrogantly self-contained, and Los Angeles, surface oriented and self-indulgent. The Exchange confronts artists from these two metropolises to imagine a common aesthetic ground. CONTEMPORARY ART PB, 30 pp., b&w illus. 1983 code: asp la H-4

OUT OF STOCK Split Vision Split Vision, a photography show curated by Robert Mapplethorpe, deals with its mature subject matter intelligently. Using visual persuasion common to our photography-oriented culture, Mapplethorpe's artists make pictures of desire, belonging, alienation, and place. Glamorous, and at times startling, these pictures are definitely worth the look. Very mature subject matter. *Mature Content CONTEMPORARY ART PB, 27 pp., b&w illus. 1985 code: asp split H-4
