Book Description
Aesthetically seductive, yet socio politically charged; confrontational yet inviting, captivating and provocative are the artworks by Juan Logan. In a recent art journey, I came across his body of work at Logan Studios and became quickly intoxicated. Unlike encountering them in a museum space, an institution or a gallery; here I found myself entranced in a different type of aesthetic journey; one that would lead me to experience an understanding which I had not encountered before. Juan Logan's body of work is fascinating; enchanting and challenging all at once, unapologetic and strong with hints of sarcasm and irony that serve to challenge the viewer into engaging with the heavy issues he addresses with every piece he produces.

Book Description
Revenge is a dish best served... STEAMING HOT!!! After being beaten, clubbed, and stomped almost to death by two fag-bashing, jack-booted brothers on the darkened streets of Atchafalaya City, Louisiana, gourmet chef, Kenneth James Cunningham, wants revenge. But being dead, there’s nothing he can do about catching his killers so, two weeks after his death, he revives whole, solid, very human, and sexy as hell, in a most unusual vehicle, to solicit help in capturing the murderers. Kenny, as he prefers to be called, has many restrictions: he cannot leave the floor on which he died, he cannot read people’s minds, fly about, or walk through walls like ghosts do in movies, TV, or books; and he is invisible to everyone but his would-be rescuer, Jeremy Mallory, but he can provide crucial information that can lead to the capture of the dastardly brothers. He gets huffy if he’s called a ghost and downright pissed if he’s called a “friendly ghost,” preferring the term, “disembodied spirit.” To occupy his time and “show his appreciation,” Kenny whips up gourmet fare for Jeremy on a nightly basis and, true to the old axiom, “the way to a man’s heart is through his stomach,” they fall in love despite knowing that their affair is doomed to be short-lived. When Miz Xochipapálotl (“Xochi” for short) Zamorawitz, Atchafalaya City’s only homicide detective, doesn’t appear to be doing anything to catch the killers, Jeremy steps in to do the job, which is greatly facilitated when the killers come hunting for him!

Thornton Dial
Author: Bernard L. Herman
Publisher: Univ of North Carolina Press
ISBN: 0807882674
Category : Art
Languages : en
Pages : 220
Book Description
Thornton Dial (1928-2016), one of the most important artists in the American South, came to prominence in the late 1980s and was celebrated internationally for his large construction pieces and mixed-media paintings. It was only later, in response to a reviewer's negative comment on his artistic ability, that he began to work on paper. And it was not until recently that these drawings have received the acclaim they deserve. This volume, edited by Bernard L. Herman, offers the first sustained critical attention to Dial's works on paper. Concentrating on Dial's early drawings, the contributors examine Dial's use of line and color and his recurrent themes of love, lust, and faith. They also discuss the artist's sense of place and history, relate his drawings to his larger works, and explore how his drawing has evolved since its emergence in the early 1990s. Together, the essays investigate questions of creativity and commentary in the work of African American artists and contextualize Dial's works on paper in the body of American art. The contributors are Cara Zimmerman, Bernard Herman, Glenn Hinson, Juan Logan, and Colin Rhodes.

"This edited collection presents articles in southern food studies by a range of writers, from established scholars like Psyche Williams-Forson to emerging scholars like Rien Fertel. All are chosen for a combination of accessible writing and solid scholarship and offer stories and historical details that add to our understanding of the complexities of southern food and foodways. The editors have chosen to organize the collection by methodology in part in order to escape what reader Belasco calls "the tradition-inventing, nostalgic approach of so many books about regional foodways." They also aim to advance the field by presenting articles that represent a range of tools and methodologies from disciplines such as history, geography, social sciences, American studies, gender studies, literary theory, visual and aural studies, cultural studies and technology studies that make up the amazingly multifaceted world of academic food studies, in hopes that this structure can help further a conversation about best practices"--
