Book Launch & Signing with Paul McCarthy & Damon McCarthy

Thu 11 Apr 2019, 7 pm

The Geffen Contemporary at MOCA

Celebrate the launch of Paul McCarthy and Damon McCarthy’s latest publications — ‘Caribbean Pirates’ and ‘Aftermath’ — at a book signing with the artists. The signing will take place at Hauser & Wirth Publishers’ booth (H12) at Printed Matter’s Los Angeles Art Book Fair at The Geffen Contemporary at MOCA.

‘Caribbean Pirates,’ the latest publication from Hauser & Wirth Publishers, is an immense two-volume artist book by Paul McCarthy and his son Damon McCarthy, presenting photographic documentation of ‘Frigate’ and ‘Houseboat,’ two works first begun in 2001 that take the lawlessness of piracy as a departure point. Exploring the ways bodies, sex, and violence all find themselves enmeshed in networks of cultural references – spanning from American consumerism to Disney and classical cinema – these works are an essential component of McCarthy’s acclaimed multidisciplinary practice, which merges performance, sculpture, photography, painting, video, installation, and virtual reality. The kaleidoscopic documentation of ‘Frigate’ and ‘Houseboat’ is accompanied by ‘Catching Mayhem by Its Tail,’ a new text by John C. Welchman.

‘Aftermath,’ published by Hesse Press, is a collection of photographs featuring inanimate objects from the shooting location for ‘DADDA Saloon,’ a film by Paul McCarthy, co-directed by Paul McCarthy and Damon McCarthy. Photographed as a document, the props and set create their own haunting resonance long after the filming has wrapped.

This event is free with the purchase of an opening night ticket to the Los Angeles Art Book Fair.

Event location: The Geffen Contemporary at MOCA, 152 N Central Ave, Los Angeles, CA 90012
