Founded by artist Eli Sudbrack, assume vivid astro focus has been dazzling the art world since 1994 with its exuberant, visually spectacular room-size installations. Created out of recycled and appropriated imagery from a wide range of sources—such as unicorn tapestries, children’s stickers, pages from gay porn magazines, album covers, Buddhist thangka paintings, and street graffiti, to name a few—the finished works can feel like a cross between a ’70s disco, Brazilian Carnival, and a psychedelic version of Andy Warhol’s Factory.

Each pair of photographs is accompanied by an extended caption that tells the story of each child: Kaya in Tokyo, whose proud mother spends $1,000 a month on her dresses; Bilal the Bedouin shepherd boy, who sleeps outdoors with his father’s herd of goats. just to name a few. The cover features a child’s mobile printed in glow-in-the-dark ink!

    Hans-Peter Feldmann: Voyeur (Walther Konig) $19.95 – A reprint of this classic book, which documents the image wreckage of our consumer-driven culture, making eccentric or sinister juxtapositions (shots of nude women next to aircraft crashes) and cataloging the blandness of media bombardment to render its toxic assault visible to us, its near-helpless voyeurs.
    Wim Wenders: Once (DAP/Schirmer) $29.95 –  This travel diary, photo album, and a series of stories consists of short, autobiographical sketches relating filmmaker Wim Wenders’ experiences on his trips across the world scouting locations for his films, as well as photographs taken during these excursions.

    Born Modern: The Life and Design of Alvin Lusting, ed. by Heller and Cohen (Chronicle) $50.00 – Best known for his book covers and interior design, Lustig’s theories on design education were precursors to the curricula of some of the most renowned design schools today.

    The Instructions by Adam Levin (McSweeney’s) $29.00     – This is a huge book, as in a lot of pages. And yet somehow, it feels light as a feather. That’s some crazy McSweeney’s technology.

One of the overarching themes here is about sustaining. Taking care of ourselves and each other and staying engaged, even when there may be no answer or resolution or recovery in sight. -EF

    Aurorarama by Jean-Christophe Valtat (Melville House) $25.95 – Don’t miss this French author coming to Quimby’s on Wed, Sept 22nd, 7pm.

French author Jean-Christophe Valtat has drawn on a wealth of research about Arctic exploration, Victorian mysticism, and 19th-century technology to create a truly unforgettable literary adventure tale that calls to mind Jules Verne’s 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea, the graphic-novel classics of Alan Moore and Neil Gaiman, and such genre-bending literary sensations as Susanna Clarke’s Jonathan Strange & Mr. Norrell or Philip Pullman’s His Dark Materials series.Aurorarama

    getdorked1

    Get Dorked vol 1 #1 by Danny Dodge & Laura Svec $2.00…Rock ‘n Roll in the take-it-back-to-yer-Chuck-Berry-45-singles sense of the term. Get Dorked turns out to have purist taste in both rollicking, intuitive garage-y sounds and traditional fanzine formating, and it feels more like a cool drink of fresh water than any kind of nostalgia re-tread. After all, to paraphrase their intro, what the fuck are the Black Eyed Peas doing in any “Best Rock N Roll of 2010” list? Light for the musical end times, friends. -EF

Skulls and Shit collects reproductions from the exhibition, where every piece featured a skull or skeleton, photo documentation and edited transcripts from free-wheeling conversations between the artists and their gallerists/publishers, as well as revealing anecdotal writings about the artists’ everyday lives by the Swedish screenwriter and cinematographer, Fredrik Wenzel. Also includes documentation Lang giving Baechler his first tattoo.
