In Smog and Thunder: Historical Works from the Great War of the Californias [With CD]

Langbeschreibung
What if the rivalry between San Francisco and Los Angeles erupted into civil war? Drawing on images and icons of contemporary culture as well as European and Latin American art history, Sandow Birks paintings reflect a meditation on cultural identity, nationality, and history. The book comes with a CD of songs from this imagined war and features 16 pages of new posters.
Sandow Birk was born in Detroit, Michigan and raised on the beaches of Orange County, California. He is a graduate of the Otis Art Institute of Parsons School of Design, Los Angeles, and resides in Southern California. Subjects of his work include gang violence, graffiti culture, prisons, surfing, skateboarding, Dante's Divine Comedy, the Iraq war, and the Qur'an. Birk creates monumental series developed over the course of many years, often working across media to support his ideas through a multi-disciplinary approach--painting, drawing, printmaking, writing, film, video, and sculpture.
