Jason Rhoades: Black Pussy Cocktail Coffee Table Book
Library Shelf Location 18.RHOA
Publication Date 2008
Description The final installment in a trilogy of work by American artist Jason Rhoades, which includes Meccatuna, 2003, and My Madinah: in pursuit of my ermitage, 2004, Black Pussy is a combination installation and interactive performance. Evoking the style of the coffee table social diary, the catalogue documents the events, known as Black Pussy Soirée Cabaret Macramé, held in the artist’s Los Angeles studio in 2006. Amidst the chrome trolleys, neon signs, dream catchers, cowboy hats, hookah pipes, and camel saddles which partially constitute the installation, guests were invited to contribute to Rhoades’ ongoing project of creating a cross-cultural compendium of euphemisms for female genitalia. Evolving to fit each location, the installation, which publicly debuted at Hauser & Wirth, London in 2005, will travel to David Zwirner, New York in November 2007. The catalogue, conceived by and designed in conjunction with the artist, includes a forward by Kevin West, West Coast editor of W magazine, as well as photographs by Joshua White and Alexia Pilat.
