Inhaltsangabe
Un libro d'artista sotto forma di collage visivo che incorpora fotografie, disegni, dipinti e una documentazione di installazioni passate e presenti. L'arte di Barry McGee vibra di una vitalità contagiosa che celebra lo spettacolo straripante della vita urbana, denunciandone al tempo stesso le "malattie, sovrastimolazioni, frustrazioni, dipendenze". Gli anni da graffitista, passati a taggare le strade di San Francisco sotto pseudonimi come Ray Fong, Twist and Twisto, alimentano ancora il suo bisogno di imprimere sulla facciata bianca della vita moderna una traccia personale e artigianale. L'opera di McGee sintetizza una vasta gamma di risorse, compresa quella dei murales messicani, l'arte di strada anonima e la poesia beat di San Francisco, tutte spiccatamente caratterizzate da un'idea di appello pubblico che McGee non manca mai di esprimere. I suoi dipinti, disegni e installazioni traboccano di energia grafica e rabbia politica, e sono delle vere e proprie esortazioni a reagire alla vita che ci circonda. Barry McGee è nato nel 1968 a San Francisco, ha studiato al San Francisco Art Institute, e nella stessa città continua a vivere e lavorare. Ha tenuto mostre personali in diverse gallerie e musei, fra i quali il Rose Art Museum della Brandeis University, a Waltham, in Massachusetts, la galleria Deitch Projects di New York e la Fondazione Prada di Milano.

Von der hinteren Coverseite
Barry McGee's art buzzes with an infectious street vitality that celebrates the rich pageant of city living, while lambasting its ills, overstimulations, frustrations, addictions. His early years as a graffiti artist, tagging on the streets of San Francisco under such monikers as Ray Fong, Twist and Twisto, still nourish his drive to inscribe the blank face of modern life with the personal and the handmade. A part of the early 1990s art and graffiti boom associated with San Francisco's Mission School (others include Clare Rojas, Chris Johanson and Aaron Noble) and with the "Beautiful Loser" generation, McGee synthesizes a wide range of resources, including the Mexican muralists, anonymous street art and San Francisco Beat poetry, all of which are notably characterized by a sense of public address that McGee never neglects to convey in his own work. His paintings, drawings and installations spill over with graphic energy and political anger, and direct exhortations to his audience to respond to the life around them. This hardcover artist's book takes the form of a visual collage, incorporating photographs, drawings, paintings and documentation of past and present installations. It is the definitive volume on a much-loved artist.
