Jordan Wolfson & Laura Owens Joint Book Launch at Ooga Booga, LA

Join artists Jordan Wolfson and Laura Owens Thursday, December 3 from 7-10PM at Ooga Booga on Mission Road for a launch event and signing. Wolfson will sign California, his new artist book from David Zwirner Books, while Owens signs her new book from Rizzoli.

Jordan Wolfson & Laura Owens Joint Book Launch at Ooga Booga, LA

Initially conceived to document Jordan Wolfson's 2014 exhibition at David Zwirner in New York—his first with the gallery, featuring new sculptural work, a video and his much-discussed animatronic sculpture "(Female figure) 2014"—this publication, born out of a close collaboration between Wolfson and book designer Joseph Logan, ultimately exists as a hybrid of an exhibition catalogue and an expression of Wolfson's artistic vision. Featuring large color plates, the book is anchored by photographs of Wolfson's bewitching, repulsive "(Female figure) 2014" taken by Andreas Laszlo Konrath, who documented every aspect of the exhibition including many behind-the-scenes images of its gallery installation. Also included are reproductions of Wolfson's new series of wall-mounted sculptures comprised of bumper stickers overlaid on inkjet prints, candid photographs of the artist taken by Gaea Woods and a text by the artist providing context for the visual material.
