Slocum #397
Author: Jake Logan
Publisher: Penguin
ISBN: 1101560444
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 174
Book Description
Slocum is on the hunt for some renegade justice… After a night of drunken debauchery in Dodge City, Slocum knows he may have indulged in too much whiskey, but he’s sure he wouldn’t lose everything in a game of poker—he was robbed. And when he finds out that men responsible are a gambler and a pair of hired guns, Slocum sets out to beat them at their own game. But when Daniel Garner, a scout for the Cavalry Division, comes looking for one of the robbers, Slocum finds out that Milt Connoway isn’t just a thief, he’s a dirty liar. Seems Milt lied about a bunch of Pawnee killing travelers near Misty Creek, resulting in a massacre on three Indian villages. Daniel is on a mission to bring Milt and the men behind the unmerited massacre to justice, and Slocum is ready and willing to help him seek out the truth.

Aesthetics of the Margins / The Margins of Aesthetics
Author: David Carrier
Publisher: Penn State Press
ISBN: 0271082615
Category : Art
Languages : en
Pages : 346
Book Description
“Wild Art” refers to work that exists outside the established, rarified world of art galleries and cultural channels. It encompasses uncatalogued, uncommodified art not often recognized as such, from graffiti to performance, self-adornment, and beyond. Picking up from their breakthrough book on the subject, Wild Art, David Carrier and Joachim Pissarro here delve into the ideas driving these forms of art, inquire how it came to be marginalized, and advocate for a definition of “taste,” one in which each expression is acknowledged as being different while deserving equal merit. Arguing that both the “art world” and “wild art” have the same capacity to produce aesthetic joy, Carrier and Pissarro contend that watching skateboarders perform Christ Air, for example, produces the same sublime experience in one audience that another enjoys while taking in a ballet; therefore, both mediums deserve careful reconsideration. In making their case, the two provide a history of the institutionalization of “taste” in Western thought, point to missed opportunities for its democratization in the past, and demonstrate how the recognition and acceptance of “wild art” in the present will radically transform our understanding of contemporary visual art in the future. Provocative and optimistic, Aesthetics of the Margins / The Margins of Aesthetics rejects the concept of “kitsch” and the high/low art binary, ultimately challenging the art world to become a larger and more inclusive place.

African Dream Machines
Author: Anitra Nettleton
Publisher: Wits University Press
ISBN: 1868144585
Category : Art
Languages : en
Pages : 486
Book Description
African Dream Machines takes African headrests out of the category of functional objects and into the more rarefied category of ‘art’ objects. Styles in African headrests are usually defined in terms of western art and archaeological discourses, but this book interrogates these definitions of style and demonstrates the shortcomings of defining a single formal style model as exclusive to a single ethnic group. Among the artefacts made by southern African peoples, headrests were the best known. Anitra Nettleton’s study of the uses and forms of headrests opened up a number of art-historical methodologies in the attempt to gain an understanding of form, style and content in African art objects. Her drawings of each and every headrest encountered become a major part of the project.
