OUT OF STOCK James Coleman: Projected Images 1972-1994 Irish artist James Coleman creates performances which match representations we've seen on TV and film: scene of a crime, daytime soap opera, rock concert, emergency room. These images are 'projected' into live scenarios, where we can pick apart the theater, sculpture, and stereotype in each moment, all of which disappear under the fast-paced drama on TV. CONTEMPORARY ART PB, 108 pp., illus. 1991, ISBN 0-944521-31-2 code: dia cole D-2

OUT OF STOCK Tropos by Ann Hamilton For the exhibition,"Tropos," Hamilton covered the floor of a 5,000-square-foot factory space entirely with horsehair, which was sewn in bundles and seemed to gradually flow like ocean waves across the factory floor. In the center of the room sat a person, who silently read and then burned the printed text from an entire book. By juxtaposing elements from the natural world with elements from the world of commerce and letters, Hamilton here creates a transformative space that bridges the material and the metaphysical world.

OUT OF STOCK Lawrence Weiner: Displacement Lawrence Weiner makes art wherein the audience deliberately bears a responsibility for what the work might be, stoking the fires of their imaginations. In Displacement, he does so by stenciling all manner of grids, boxes and equations around an entire gallery floor: at each one we stop to wonder just what it is, if we are taking anything for granted, what we are familiar with and what we think we know. In such a setting, meaning is not a given it is displaced halfway between the artist and the audience, where the imagination is free to roam. CONTEMPORARY ART HC, 112 pp., illus. 1991, ISBN 0-944521-22-3 code: dia wein D-2
