Odd Lots: Revisiting Gordon Matta-Clark`s Fake Estates

2005 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book DescriptionIn the summer of 1973, artist Gordon Matta-Clark discovered that the city of New York occasionally auctioned improbably tiny and frequently inaccessible parcels of land created by zoning eccentricities. Fascinated by these spaces, he bought 15 of them (14 in Queens, and 1 in Staten Island) for between $25 and $75 each, photographed them, and collated the photographs with the appropriate deeds and maps. He called the project Fake Estates . Odd Lots: Revisiting Gordon Matta-Clark`s `Fake Estates` further documents and advances this seminal work, and accompanies Cabinet magazine`s exhibition at the Queens Museum of Art and White Columns in New York. Included here are responses to Matta-Clark`s original artwork by 20 contemporary artists including Francis Alys, Jimbo Blachly, Mark Dion, Sarah Oppenheimer, Dan Price, and Mierle Ukeles. Odd Lots also provides the definitive Fake Estates history, thus adding new dimension to the… [detailed...]

Odd Markets in Japanese History: Law and Economic Growth (Political Economy of Institutions and Decisions)

— y.
Publisher: —
Description: Employing a rational-choice approach, Professor Ramseyer studies the impact of Japanese law on economic growth in Japan. Toward that end, the author investigates the way law governed various markets, and the way that people negotiated contracts within those markets. Findings reveal that the legal system generally promoted mutually advantageous deals, and that people generally negotiated in ways that shrewdly promoted their private best interests. Whether in the markets for indentured servants, prostitutes, or marriage partners, this study reports little evidence of either age- or gender-related exploitation. [detailed...]

Osamu Tezuka
Ode To Kirihito

2006 y.
Publisher: Vertical
Description: It may or may not be contagious. There seems to be no cure for it. Yet, Monmow Disease, a life-threatening condition that transforms a person into a dog-like beast, is not the only villain in this shocking triumph of a medical thriller by manga-god Osamu Tezuka. Said to have been the personal favorite of the artist, who held a degree in medicine, and surprisingly attentive to Christian themes and imagery, Ode to Kirihito demolishes naive notions about human nature and health and likely preconceptions about the comics master himself. From pregnant vistas of the Japanese countryside to closed rooms full of sin and redemption, Tezuka astounds for more than eight hundred continuous pages, his art in turn easefully concise and flamboyantly experimental, his inquiry into our most repugnant instincts and prospects for overcoming them unflinchingly serious. Incorporating elements of the often lurid and adult-oriented “gekiga” style for the first time, Tezuka entered… [detailed...]

Ode to Joy

2009 y.
Publisher: —
Description: A bearded Jewish man with an umbrella from the 1870s, a stiff border guard from the 1930s, a serious but sexy female geologist from the 1950s and a young boy with a lemur on his head from 1999 are just a few of the fascinating and enlightening figurines presented in this monumental volume of Russian porcelain figures and objects from the world-renowned Yuri Traisman Collection. Ode to Joy chronicles the complicated and turbulent period in Russian history that spans from the early nineteenth century, through the Soviet period, up into the 1990s. Upon first inspection, the objects might appear to be no more than small-scale decorative sculptures and vessels, but in Russian society, particularly during times of censorship, porcelain acted as a vehicle for social commentary. It was also considered a prestigious gift or indicator of political positioning. Real-life opera stars like Fedor Shaliapin, world leaders like Indira Ghandhi, literary characters like Chekhov`s Belikov, presidents,… [detailed...]

Odilon Redon: Pastels

1987 y.
Publisher: George Braziller
Description: Odilon Redon was already well-known for his black and white drawings and lithographs when around 1890 he started to use color. For Redon, the discovery of color was a revelation, and he worked almost exclusively with it for the rest of his life. As probably no other painter before or after him, Redon recognized the advantages of pastel as the perfect medium with which to imbue his works on paper with a special transparency and luminosity. In his pastels, Redon seems able to generate light from within the image and to increase the glow of colors in a way that transports the viewer effortlessly into a vivid imaginary world. Even when the subject is a vase of flowers or a portrait, Redon`s pastels evoke a dream-like atmosphere and mood of reverie. By nature a shy and inward man, Redon felt a profound, almost mystical respect for the life of the spirit and for the people and objects that surrounded him in daily life. The intensity of Redon`s vision and his command in the rendering… [detailed...]

Odin: The Diary of a CIA Assassin

2003 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book DescriptionIn the shadowy corridors of international intelligence and law enforcement, Hank Anlaf is best known as the assassin Odin, named after the Viking `Lord of the Slain,` for at every hit he leaves a calling card that bears a symbol of Odin`sRaven. After suffering grievous injuries, then barely slipping through a vast U.S. government dragnet, Hank presents his diary, a firsthand chronicle of Odin`s private missions in Africa, Asia, the Mediterranean, and the Middle East. Through Hank`s eyes we follow the intricate steps of Odin`s assassination plans--all contrived and consummated under the noses of his CIA supervisors. We watch, mouths agape, as Odin extirpates one target after another, without hesitation, without remorse, without mercy. And we furrow our brows, wondering if any end, no matter how noble, can ever justify such brutal means. But for all our questions, we never doubt Odin`s steely resolve--or his dark genius for bloodletting. [detailed...]

Description: Book DescriptionOdyssey Dreams is the story of six brave women and men: the runaway slave-girl and prophetic dreamer who escaped the chains and ignorance of the plantation, the socialite who wanted to raise a family without pretense and superficiality, the retired schoolteacher of mythology who wanted to live her own great adventure, the fur trapper turned guide after all the fur-bearing animals were decimated, the retired sea captain who could not thrive in the confinement of crowed, dirty cities, and, the native American shaman who was making his final trail. They began as strangers but they ended as heroes to one another. The Oregon Trail tested the spirit of every pioneer. It was the road to freedom, yet it was the also the path of death and despair. Many would perish from disease, some by river crossings and other accidents and a few by acts of violence. Still, they entered the vast untamed prairie until their numbers became a flood. These settlers risked… [detailed...]
