Sinossi
Circus Americanus is a riotous excursion through America’s changing visual landscape. Exploring its remote corners and bizarre byways, Ralph Rugoff takes us on a tour of theme park slums and mystical police cars, futurist war and the “aesthetics of safe chaos.” With an idiosyncratic eye for detail, he maps a culture in which “reality” has become just another theme, revealing an America much stranger than the glamorous kitsch of its surfaces. Whether he is writing about Las Vegas casinos, forensic cartoons, the enigma of Napoleon’s preserved penis or the aesthetics of sewage treatment, Rugoff considers everyday marvels with a concern for how we live together in a world beyond belief.

paperback. Condizione: Very Good in Wrappers. No Jacket. First Edition. New York. 1995. Verso. 1st Edition. Very Good in Wrappers. 1859840035. 220 pages. paperback. keywords: Los Angeles Art Sociology. DESCRIPTION - Actors' headshots, manhole covers, forensic courtroom displays, Mexican wrestling, a sewage treatment plants may seem unlikely subjects for the gaze of an art critic, but then Ralph Rugoff - no ordinary critic - has an eye capable of discerning an aesthetic in the unlikeliest of locations. Rugoff wants to remind readers that art is not produced in a vacuum, but is a continuum of everyday life. In this spirit, this book takes us on a guided tour of some of the world's leading museums and some of the most unusual, including the L.A. County Sheriff's Museum, the Nixon Museum, the Liberace Museum, the Museum of Pathological Anatomy and the Museum of Jurassic Technology. They transport us to built spaces such as Citywalk, L.A.'s theme park of itself, around horsetracks and on freeways, barely pausing to point out that the visual appeal of a daring overpass and the aesthetic appeal of a curvilinear sculpture are not unrelated. They talk to us about the relationship between L.A. artists and theme park aesthetics, about the role of fantasy in contemporary architecture, about the art of the human body as revealed in nudist photography, bodybuilding and plastic surgery. This book, emulating the talent of artists for making unexpected connections and juxtapositions, allows readers to perceive and enjoy the beautiful, the bizarre and the downright perverse in places we never thought of looking before. inventory #26597.
