In 1991, the specialty artists book press, Blockophobic Press, run by Alexander S. C. Rower (grandson of Alexander Calder and Director of the Calder Foundation), collaborated with Jesse to publish a limited edition artist 'book' of 200 copies of Jesse's poem 'Strip Poker' in a bottle. Glass 'wine bottles' to be exact, with labels designed by Alexander S. C. Rower to look like traditional French wine bottles. Jesse's poem was printed on one continuous strip of paper and sealed in these specially designed/decorated bottles. Now there are a few of the remaining Strip Poker in a bottle artist books being sold. With each copy of Strip Poker in a bottle will a copy of the full text of the poem. There is some variation in the color of the bottles, and the capsules (the seal on the bottle top). Copies of STRIP POKER are held in the Special Poetry Collection of the University of Rhode Island Library and the Special Books Collection of the University of Washington Library. And as a taste of what's inside here are two brief excerpts from the long poem. From the opening of the poem Strip Poker: 'DEUCES ROLLED LIKE CANNONBALL TAPE PEELING HER NAKED BEHIND LIKE A PEACH ON THE SINK ROOM TABLE ATMOSPHERE OF BLEACH AND AGITATED STEAM. THERE IS STRIP POKER AND STRIP POKER - YOU GET NAKED AND THEN YOU GET MORE NAKED..' and from the middle of the poem: 'SO WE GOT BUSTED IN THE LAUNDRY PLAYING STRIP POKER. THAT WAS IN YOUR OUTLAW DAYS. YOU WERE SO BEAUTIFUL WHEN YOU WERE A CRIME.' (The poem was written by Jesse in all caps.) Vintage Bernstein, n'est-ce pas?. |

Index. Very Good. Some grubbiness to cover (Why do publishers print on white stock?); interiors clean. ISBN: 0822329204 $7.95. First comprehensive survey of contemporary art from Hong Kong presented within the changing social and political context of the territory's 1997 hand over from British to Chinese sovereignty. Tracing a distinctive and increasingly vibrant art scene from the late 1960s through the present, Clarke discusses a wide range of media, including painting, sculpture, photography, video, and installations, as well as other kinds of visual production such as architecture, fashion, graphic design, and graffiti. He shows how a sense of local identity emerged in Hong Kong as the transition approached and found expression in the often politicized art produced. Given the recent international exposure of mainland Chinese contemporary art, this book considers the uniqueness of the art of China's most cosmopolitan city. With a modern visual culture that was flourishing even when the People's Republic was still closed to the outside world, Hong Kong has established itself as an exemplary site for both local and transnational elements to formulate into brilliant and groundbreaking art. The author writes about individual artists and art works with a detail that will appeal to artists, curators, and art historians, as well as to postcolonial scholars, cultural studies scholars, and others. |

Taking on the challenge of the cavernous space of the Turbine Hall at the Tate Modern in London, he created his largest sculpture ever: built of PVC membrane, stretched taut across massive steel hoops and hovering in midair, the sculpture dominates the space in a way no other artist has attempted. The creative process behind this ambitious project is documented and explored in conversations with Kapoor.
