OUT OF STOCK Real Gone: Art by Jack Pierson, Fiction by Jim Lewis The outcome of a road trip to Las Vegas by artist Jack Pierson and author Jim Lewis, Real Gone is neither a travel guide nor a photo-essay. Instead, the collaborators have created a work which lies somewhere between fact and fiction. Pierson’s photographs are free-floating, seductive images of the city. Jim Lewis weaves together a story set on and off the strip, tracing a trip the authors in fact took. The contributions of the artist and the author reflect on the city as a center of recreation, a magnet for high rollers and low-life. PHOTOGRAPHY/FICTION 1993, 6 x 8 inches, 53 pp, color images Hardcover, ISBN 0963109529 code: artsp real H-4

OUT OF STOCK The Father Costume: Images by Matthew Ritchie Fiction by Ben Marcus In The Father Costume—a collaboration between artist Matthew Ritchie and writer Ben Marcus—a stunning world, made mostly of water, is evoked, a world in which clothing changes people's behavior and time itself can be worn and discarded like cloth. Here a father takes his two boys out to sea, in flight from some menace at home, thus launching their adventure in a strange and dangerous territory. Ritchie's striking images blend scientific diagramming with vivid, colorful renderings of the apocalypse, while Marcus's cold prose plumbs the inner workings of two boys caught out at sea with a father whose costumes grow increasingly menacing. CONTEMPORARY ART/FICTION 2002, 6 x 8 inches, 90 pp, color illus Hardcover, ISBN: 1891273035 code: artsp fath I-4

OUT OF STOCK Old Joy: Photographs By Justine Kurland Fiction By Jonathan Raymond *MATURE CONTENT A meditation on cosmic themes of purification and desire, writer Jonathan Raymond describes a hike by two old friends to remote hot springs in the foothills of the Cascades. As the hours progress, and the landscape evolves, twin seekers Kurt and Mark enact a pilgrimage of consciousness replete with mystical insights and intimations of subtle spiritual battle. Coupled with the work of Justine Kurland—haunting color photographs of burned forests and naked visionaries in wild tableaux—Old Joy’s narrative of sacrificial transcendence spirals toward an inevitable, violent consummation. PHOTOGRAPHY/FICTION 2004, 6 x 8 inches, 72 pp, color images Hardcover, ISBN 1891273051 code: artsp joy H-4

OUT OF STOCK Hover: Photographs By Gregory Crewdson, Text By Rick Moody, Darcey Steinke, Joyce Carol Oates, Bradford Morrow In Hover, highly acclaimed novelists Rick Moody, Bradford Morrow, Joyce Carol Oates, and Darcy Steinke reflect on the color photographs of artist Gregory Crewdsen. The seamless blurring of photographic realism and hyperbolic fiction produce a complex and compelling set of tensions that bring together the ordinary and the sublime, beauty and repulsion, domesticity and wilderness, and nature and artifice. In this collision of styles and intentions, a language and pictorial effect hover between realism and unreality. PHOTOGRAPHY/FICTION 1998, 6 x 8 inches, 57 pp, color images Hardcover, ISBN: 1891273000 code: artsp hov H-4

OUT OF STOCK Stardumb: Art By John defazio, Stories By Dave Hickey Stardumb is the astrology book for the art world at the millennium.

CONTEMPORARY ART/FICTION 2008, 6 x 8 inches, 60 pp, color illus. Hardcover, ISBN 1891273019 code: artsp star H-4
