OUT OF STOCK Michael Brewster: See Hear Now - A Sonic Drawing In order to realize an acoustic sculpture, you literally have to move around a room and through each of the multiple sources of sound. By listening to within these sound environments, the viewer is revived from the passive meditations on paintings to which an art audience is accustomed. Brewster's sound sculptures are intangible, leaving only memories and documentation . SOUND ART PB, 52 pp. + music CD, illus. 2002, ISBN 0911291288 code: fel brew E-6

OUT OF STOCK Llyn Foulkes: Between a Rock and a Hard Place Exploring the underside of the American Dream, Llyn Foulkes does not like what he sees. In his paintings, performances, and sculptures, Foulkes battles moral desolation and social violence with a dark humor that aims to create, purge, and inspire. CONTEMPORARY ART PB, 104 pp., illus. 1996, ISBN 0911291245 code: fel fou E-6

OUT OF STOCK Craig Kauffman: Comprehensive Survey 1957-1980 Craig Kauffman was as a central leader in the emergence of Los Angeles as a major creative center. The creator of the "L.A. look" and often referred to as the father of the West Coast scene, quoting on of his peers, "it was Kauffman who showed us the way."

OUT OF STOCK Perpetual Motion This overview of a decade of work by four artists who emerged in the late '60s in the midst of the trend to reject the traditional teaching methods in the art departments of universities in favor of experimentation. Karen Carson, Margaret Nielson, John Rogers, and Tom Wudl. Over a decade later, the work of these artists have matured, but they all still share an artistic singlemindedness that fuels the individual creative process. CONTEMPORARY ART PB, 67 pp., illus. 1987, ISBN 0-911291-14-8 code: fel per E-6

OUT OF STOCK Plane/Structures Minimalism is an art about self-perception?ëthe objects in front of us are so spartan they act as mirrors in which we can see ourselves. What we decide upon is not the value of the objects we've been looking at but the value of what has happened to us in front of them. Plane/Structures is such a beautiful show because it offers us the chance to know so much of our own selves. CONTEMPORARY ART PB, 88 pp., illus. 1994, ISBN 0911291237 code: fel pla E-6

OUT OF STOCK Scene of the Crime Whereas humankind is perversely fascinated with the scene of a crime, author and curator Ralph Rugoff is a master investigator. Addressing the art object as a kind of evidence, a clue to absent meanings and prior actions, Rugoff shows just how much contemporary art benefits from a forensic reading. Contains some mature material. CONTEMPORAY ART PB,168 pp., illus. 1997, ISBN 0262680998 code: fel sce E-6

OUT OF STOCK Unstretched Surfaces/Surfaces Libres In the late 50s, Jackson Pollock painted immense canvases spread out on the floor. Following in his footsteps, the French and American artists in "Unstretched Surfaces" paint on canvas without the support of stretcher bars, which challenge our conception of the medium's traditional format and result in compositions that seem to expand beyond the boundaries of the picture plane. PAINTING PB, 48 pp., illus. 1977, ISBN 026280998 code: fel un E-7

OUT OF STOCK Memory, Matter, and Modern Romance: Bruce and Norman Yamamoto Japanese-American brothers, Bruce and Norman Yonemoto, have worked collaboratively for almost thirty years to create new interpretations of race, ethnicity, memory, and romance through video, film, and installation. Their work reveals how the seductive language of Hollywood has fabricated our belief fairytail endings, when we should know real life is much less rehearsed.
