Published by JRP|Ringier.
Text by Paul McCarthy, Eva Meyer-Hermann, Ralph Rugoff.

The Big Picture documents Perfect World, a 1999 installation that Jason Rhoades (1965–2006) created for the Deichtorhallen in Hamburg—an installation regarded by many as his most important project. This publication examines the work through photographs of Perfect World’s 1999 and 2000 iterations and its posthumous exhibition at Hauser & Wirth in 2010, when it was shown complete for the first time.

Jason Rhoades: Collector's Choice Vol. 9Jason Rhoades: Collector's Choice Vol. 9

Published by DuMont.
Text by Eva Meyer-Hermann.

Despite his untimely death at the age of 42, Los Angeles-based artist Jason Rhoades (1965–2007) left behind a large body of sculpture that seized the imagination of a generation of artists, curators and collectors in the 1990s. In this substantial new survey, Cologne-based independent curator Eva Meyer-Hermann traces the unfolding of Rhoades'work and provides revelatory interpretations of his large and intricate installations. Rhoades' art has its roots in the late 1980s and early 1990s L.A. scene fostered by Richard Jackson and Paul McCarthy at the University of California, Los Angeles, at a time when the Southern Californian Performance scene in general had begun to open itself up to international exhibitions and the art market. Like his predecessors, Rhoades included performative elements in his installations and produced epic thematic cycles, drawing on mass culture to develop a dense weave of images and forms. This is the first comprehensive study of Rhoades' vertiginously sprawling oeuvre.

Jason Rhoades: Perfect World

Published by Oktagon.
Edited by Zdenek Felix.

All good thoughts and all good works of art run on their own as a perpetual motion machine, mentally and sometimes physically; they are very alive," says Jason Rhoades. Bearing witness to the animating possibilities of art, Jason Rhoades' recent installation, Perfect World, is a monumental piece of work in all senses of the term. Here five miles of new aluminum bars have been transformed into a shiny, cathedral-like jungle. The installation's upper level features a hodgepodge of monster puppets and various bric-a-brac, along with a reproduction of the Garden of Eden--a photographic collage of the vegetable garden kept by Rhoades' father. This lavishly illustrated book is a playfully beautiful document of the installation, featuring an aluminum-coated dust jacket and a fold-out photograph of Rhoades' "garden.
