Israel, Alex - Jason Rhoades: Black Pussy Cocktail Coffee Table Book

Gottingen, Germany, Steidl, 2007. Hardcover. yellow boards w/ blind-stamped emblem. illustrated pastedowns & endpapers. 305 pgs, lavishly illustrated throughout in color. glossy, color illustrated dustjacket. Rhoades' last project, Black Pussy Soiree Cabaret Macrame, was a series of private social events involving massive sculptural installations in which people walked through a large Los Angeles warehouse filled with Ikea-style shelves containing thousands of "dream catchers," hookahs, camel saddles, chrome trolleys and cowboy hats. Neon signs spelled out various words for female genitalia, and guests were invited to contribute to Rhoades' ongoing cross-cultural compendium of these euphemisms. Evolving to fit each location, this installation, which publicly debuted at Hauser & Wirth in London in 2005, traveled to New York's David Zwirner gallery in November of 2007. Its catalogue was conceived by and designed with the artist prior to his untimely death, and includes a foreword by Kevin West, West Coast Editor of W magazine, and photographs by Joshua White and Alexia Pilat.--Amazon.
