OUT OF STOCK Ann Hamilton: kaph kaph (the palm of one's hand) was a site-specific installation created by the important American artist Ann Hamilton for the Contemporary Arts Museum. Known for her poetic, material-laden installations, Hamilton's art involves all of the senses—vision, touch, smell, hearing, and even taste—assailing viewers from a variety of approaches and inviting them to share the artist’s singular, metaphorical vision. This catalogue includes an essay by Lynn M. Herbert, as well as documentation on the artist’s career. CONTEMPORARY ART/INSTALLATION 1998, 5 x 7 inches, 32 pp., 6 color and 11 b&w reproductions Softcover, ISBN 0-936080-41-8 code: camh kaph J-2

OUT OF STOCK Other Narratives Artists who explore personal worlds received increasing critical attention during the 1990s. Many have made work focused on the civil and moral injustices perpetrated against those outside the mainstream and on their customs and cultures—most of which are unknown to the majority of Americans. The exhibition and catalogue include a number of artists who have chosen to make art that deals with these issues—whether they are from “other” worlds of race, culture or gender or from new points of view. Featuring the work of artists Jean-Michel Basquiat, Enrique Chagoya, Sam Durant, Felix Gonzales-Torres, The Guerrilla Girls, Annette Lawrence, Glenn Ligon, Kerry James Marshall, David McGee, Pepon Osorio, Elaine Reichek, Lorna Simpson, Masami Teraoka, Kara Walker, Carrie Mae Weems, and Pat Ward Williams. The catalogue includes essays by Robert Atkins, Dana Friis-Hansen, and Greg Tate, as well as documentation on the artists’ careers. CONTEMPORARY ART 1999, 9 x 11 inches, 96 pp, 12 color and 69 b&w reproductions Softcover, ISBN 0-936080-49-3 code: camh oth J-2

OUT OF STOCK Out of the Ordinary: New Art from Texas The end of the 1990s in Texas was marked by a number of emerging and mid-career artists, who—although living and working in the state—were not defined by its geography, myths or by a common artistic view. This exhibition featured the work of eleven such artists who transform ordinary objects and materials into extraordinary works of art. A sofa-bed arranged to represent the archaeological site where the remains of prehistoric "Lucy" were discovered, late-nineteenth century display cabinets filled with hay, feathers and gold lamé paint used to define the gallery’s spaces, film containers arranged into a monumental ramp, and other transformative works of art were included in the show and the accompanying catalogue. Taking as source the tenets of Dada, Surrealism and the Pop Art movement, the catalogue examines the work of Helen Altman, Todd Brandt, Zoë Charlton, Brian Fridge, Francesca Fuchs, Trenton Doyle Hancock, Rebecca Holland, Chris Sauter, Brent Steen, Erick Swenson and Mel Ziegler. Essays by Lynn M. Herbert and Paola Morsiani and documentation on the artists’ careers is also included. CONTEMPORARY ART 2000, 6.5 x 9 inches, 112 pp., 54 color and 24 b&w reproductions Softcover, ISBN 0-936080-60-4 code: camh out J-2
