DESCRIPTION:
Since then he has exhibited internationally, including the 1989 Whitney Biennial, Documenta9, Birth of the Cool, the Museum of Contemporary Art in Los Angeles, Kunsthalle Basel and the Secession Gallery in Vienna. About the Author Harmony Korine was born in Bolinas, California in 1974. In the early 1970s he moved to New York, where he studied painting intermittently and worked as an assistant to the artist Joel Shapiro. At 19, he wrote the screenplay for Kids, directed by Larry Clark, and later wrote and directed Gummo, which won awards at the Venice and Rotterdam film festivals, and Julian Donkey
Korine's photographs form the basis of an intense process of layering, drawing, overprinting, and photocopying. Gradually, the fragmented, distorted images serially mutate, attacked by a combination of mechanical and human processes. Yet despite the violence exerted upon it, a vestige of narrative always survives.. Passed back and forth between the artists, these images are eventually reduced to ghostly shadows beneath a barrage of scumbled dot screens, random patterning, and symbolic blurs and drips. The result of a collaboration between filmmaker Harmony Korine and painter Christopher Wool, this series of experimental images tests the limits of the pictorial and the abstract, pushing the boundaries of visual and textual narrative to extremes
Pass on this one I liked Crackup and his films, but this book is not that good. The photos are just crappy and the layout of the book is as well. I don't know what they were going for, but they missed the mark. I was disappointed.. What was I thinking? I have no idea what encouraged me to purchase this book. This was a waste of paper. And money.. Not what you think Charles Allen this book is not what i expected, but the more you look at it the better it gets.I love Korine's work in films and am in the process of getting A Crackup at the Race Riots, but this book seems more like a series of ink blots leaving you to make what you want of the pictures in front of you. Overall it's an alright book but it's not up to par with Korine's films.
