Paul McCarthy Boeken

"Working in a pioneering fusion of sculpture and conceptually based performance, Paul McCarthy is one of the most influential figures in contemporary art*however the full range is of his oeuvre is still not fully appreciated or understood. While his architectural installations incorporating video and performance artifacts have received copious critical and curatorial attention during the present decade, few viewers are familiar with the scope of his artistic evolution, or with the impact his works had had on two generations of Los Angeles artists. This catalogue*accompanying McCarthy exhibitions at the Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles, and the New Museum of Contemporary Art in new York*covers more than 100 works from all areas of his activity, and gives an exemplary insight into McCarthy's works form the early 70s up to the present day. Experts on his work give comprehensive descriptions and analyses of the artist's performances and installations, examine the unique ties between his works and the cinematic arts, and explore the ongoing dialogue between the artistic cultures of New York and Los Angeles, particularly in terms of the development of conceptual art."

This 348-page, two-volume edition contains extensive documentation of two pieces from 2003, "Picadilly Circus" and "Bunker Basement." Using the Victorian interior of an abandoned bank on Londons Piccadilly as the on-site location for this video performance, and a rudimentary re-creation of that banks subterranean vaults in his studio outside Los Angeles for supplementary footage, McCarthy has staged a slapstick Twilight of the Gods that also doubles as the most disturbing Sadeian fantasia since Pier Paolo Pasolinis Salo.

Single-case research is a powerful method for examining change in outcome variables such as behaviour, performance and psychological constructs, and for assessing the efficacy of interventions. It has innumerable uses within the context of sport and exercise science, such as in the development of more effective performance techniques for athletes and sportspeople and in helping us to better understand exercise behaviours in clinical populations. However, the fundamental principles and techniques of single-case research have not always been clearly understood by students and researchers working in these fields. Single-Case Research Methods in Sport and Exercise Psychology is the first book to fully explain single-case research in the context of sport and exercise. Starting with first principles, the book offers a comprehensive introduction to the single-case research process, from study design to data analysis and presentation. Including case studies and examples from across sport and exercise psychology, the book provides practical guidance for students and researchers and demonstrates the advantages and common pitfalls of single-case research for anybody working in applied or behavioural science in a sport or exercise setting.

The installation Perfect World, which Jason Rhoades created for the Deichtorhallen in Hamburg in 1999, is regarded by many as his most important project.In a wide-ranging conversation Paul McCarthy, a former teacher and friend of the artist, together with Ralph Rugoff, looks back at the Hamburg project and discusses its significance in the context of Rhoades' work overall.The book includes a great many drawings from the artist's XEROX-book that can be read as notes on the intellectual zones and material levels of Perfect World while at the same time prefiguring many artistic ideas that occupied Rhoades until his early death in 2006.Lavish illustrations and numerous historical photographs of the versions of Perfect World created in 1999 and 2000, as well as of the complete version of the installation shown in its entirety for the first time in London in 2010 as 1:12 Perfect World provide a detailed insight into Rhoades' artistic cosmos.Published with Hauser & Wirth, Zurich/London/New York.

„Included in the book are three distinct groups of images: 1. Photographs of the 1996 performance at Tomio Kayama Gallery, Tokyo (approximately 75 crisp images mostly in brilliant reds); 2. Ten drawings created during the performance sharing a color palette of browns, reds, black and green; 3. In the first exhibition the photographs were accompanied by artificial Christmas trees. The c. 36 images of these trees which were photographed before the opening of the exhibition form the third group in the book.“ Paul McCarthy. In seiner Weihnachtsgeschichte greift McCarthy die Performance in der Tomio Koyama Galerie, Tokio auf. Sie wird illustriert von mehr als 70 verfremdeten, von ihm manipulierten farbigen Abbildungen, Zeichnungen und choreographischen Plänen aus der wütenden Performance. Seine Sammlung künstlicher Weihnachtsbäume bildet Ankerpunkte in diesem Weihnachtsmärchen, das nicht zu besinnlichen Stunden anregt.
