Recently, Tasset has turned his investigations inward, using his personal life as a self-effacing foil to address social stereotypes, conflicts of the ego, and how we see ourselves through media influenced perspectives." - Publisher. *** CONTENTS: Tony Tasset: the amazing technicolor conceptualist, by Martin Patrick; Interview with Tony Tasset, by Stuart Horodner; Wet/dry: the Tasset dimension, by Barry Blinderman; Only an eye but what an eye, by Michelle Grabner; Still life with blue jay: endgame in Tony Tasset's art, by Bill Conger.

Paperback. Condizione: Fine. 1st. 107 pages, illustrations; 23 cm. Firm binding, clean inside copy. *** "To say that UFOs have captured the popular imagination of contemporary America would be an understatement -- while appearances of blinking ellipsoids, whirling orbs, and have been reported throughout history, nowhere has the idea of contact with extraterrestrials taken hold so much as in the postwar United States. The UFO Show presents these phenomena in an unexpected way -- as inspiration and subject matter for contemporary visual art. Creating two- and three-dimensional work relating directly or symbolically to discs, saucers, and other images common to the subject of UFOs, 12 artists -- including Mariko Mori, Ionel Talpazan, Keith Haring, Panamarenko, Oliver Wasow, Claire Jervert, and Paul Laffoley -- confront, each in their own way, a historically ingrained and commercially reinforced locus of millennial obsession. Also included here are several provocative essays on the subject." - Publisher. *** CONTENTS: A History of Ufology, by Rudy Rucker; Disco Volante, by Paul Laffoley; What It Is!: The Mothership Connection, by Bill McBride; My Ufology, by Amy Wilson; Ufology from "Another Nut?"; Paratime from "Frank shook time", by Rudy Rucker; We Believe, by Carlo McCormick.
