Tony Oursler
The intelligent irony that resonates through the video and projection installations of American artist Tony Oursler results from a subtle combination of sound, language and pop culture images. These elements are thoroughly explored in this monograph, the most extensive publication on Oursler and his work. His videos often employ a projected human face to create bizarre contemporary icons and fragmented narratives that speak to the dislocation caused by contemporary issues of sex, violence and power. Tony Oursler includes 180 illustrations from his video, sculpture and mixed-media works on paper, as well as an extensive selection of the artist's own writings. There are also two long conversations between Oursler and the artists Mike Kelley and Dan Graham, which testify to the long-lasting mutual appreciation and collaboration between them. This is a major new publication on the career of one of the most important American artists of the last two decades.

"These new works are a collision between painting and video, with Oursler continuing to innovatively employ sculpture, performance, video and painting. His use of laser-cut aluminum for the first time allows for dynamic new shapes and the insertion of videos, which have been pinched and pulled via computer manipulation to fit within the splatter forms. Exploring the ways that media affects the human psyche is a constant theme in Oursler's work, and here, the mixing of morphed videos, muffled sounds and odd forms engages the viewer in sometimes disturbing ways." -- Taken from Gallery's website.
Tony Oursler. Catalogo della mostra (Milano, galleria 1000eventi, 1998). Ediz. italiana e inglese
A student of John Baldessari's at the California Institute of the Arts and a frequent collaborator with Mike Kelley, Tony Oursler plumbs popular and punk culture for the twisted icons that structure our collective unconscious and the ideology of our time. Working in installations, video, sculpture, and a variety of mixed media including dolls and puppets, Oursler creates fragmentary images and scenes that might belong to the hallucinations of a delinquent adolescent on a bad trip. The viewer is left to imagine what ungodly narrative was frozen in time to create such surreal, but somehow uncomfortably familiar, mayhem. Though darkly humorous, his work delves deeply into the question of how the twinned forces of sex and violence, gender and power function in our culture. This catalogue presents a range of recent work and accompanies his one-person exhibition in Milan, Italy.

This book documents the visual elements of the 'The Influence of the Machine', the projections onto buildings, trees and smoke, but also the transcripts of the monologues that provided a haunting sound track to the images.

Tony Oursler/Vox Vernacular
Dit werk is de eerste publicatie die volledig aan de poetische teksten van Tony Oursler is gewijd. Het bevat een vijftigtal integrale transcripties van videowerken die hij tussen 1977 en 2013 maakte. Ze worden geplaatst in de context waarin ze ontstonden, vergezeld van een rijk geillustreerde kritische beschouwingen. Doordat de kunstenaar dit werk zelf heeft samengesteld, als een boeket waarin de taal in een vuurwerk van kleuren en klanken uiteenspat, kan Vox Vernacular als een echte anthologie worden beschouwd."
