Tom Friedman (Contemporary Artists)
I can't wait for this book to come in the mail. I was fortunate enough to discover Tom Friedman's work and experience it first hand at the Museum of Contemporary art. It was definitely one of the best exhibition I have seen. It had all of his highlights and the audience really got to see the genius of his work. His work is hard to believe. He plays on the audiences' concept of what is art and what can be used to make art.

One of the most important and innovative artists in contemporary China, Zhang Huan (b. 1965) brought the burgeoning Chinese art scene to international attention in the 1990s with a series of taboo-breaking performances. His artwork continues to explore the tragedies of the human condition and the spiritual essence of Buddhism in a range of media that includes photography, painting and monumental sculpture. Zhang's work has been exhibited in the world's most prestigious museums and international exhibitions, including the 1999 Venice Biennale, the 2001 Yokohama Triennial and the 2002 Whitney Biennial. This monograph is the first complete analysis of the artist's entire career, from his beginnings in the communal art scene of Beijing's East Village to his breakthrough in New York and his return to Shanghai, where he now runs a studio with over 40 assistants.

This Phaidon soft cover is packed with captivating images from some of the most poetic art events created by Chinese artist Cai Guo-Qiang. This is no small feat as Guo-Qiang's work is difficult to document since you really have to be there to get a true experience of it. "...These have included works such as an extension to the Great Wall of China, designed to be seen from outer space by extraterrestrial beings; feng shui arrangements of private living spaces both in Japn and New York; participatory projects with kites, jacuzzis and mini golf courses, and sculptures constructed from melted-down cars or abandoned boats. His projects are strongly influenced by their location and the works are frequently altered or developed as they are exhibited at new sites. Unifying Cai's wide-ranging work is his consistent investigation of humanity's place within the universe..."

It could have been a first date, I don't know, but there I was at the video rental place with, uh lets just call her "Golden Eye", "Golden Eye" turns to me and says " I need a movie suggestion, something that's like 80's, something penetrating, something thats eye opening, maybe naughty...". I turned and a few minutes later returned with "Blind Beast". About the film: One of the chief purveyors of the Japanese new wave cinema, Yasuzo Masumara is the mastermind behind this frightening and erotic horror film. Based on a short story by Edogawa Rampo, 'Blind Beast' tells the disturbing story of a blind sculptor who is obsessed with the female form. He caters to his unhealthy fixation by kidnapping an artist's model and holding her captive in his studio, exposed to his dirty touch. Presented here in uncut form, 'Blind Beast' is an affecting study of sexual perversion.
