ABOUT THIS TITLE:? ?For the FIRST TIME EVER, world-renowned artist DAN GRAHAM has published all of his HISTORIC rock-music writings together in one book?. GRAHAM?s videos and performances?unlock music?s FREEDOM and SUBVERSION and do these 13 essays! You and your loved ones can learn EVERYTHING THERE IS TO KNOW about our liberal democratic history through the SUBVERSIVE relationship of rock, punk and new wave?. Not for adults over 30.??R. H. QUAYTMAN, BOMB MAGAZINE (2010)? ?GRAHAM was a friend and supporter of many musicians active in the No Wave scene that was centered around New York City in the late ?70s. In addition to collaborating with musicians during this period, GRAHAM created ?Rock My Religion,? a video that demonstrates parallels between rock music culture and religious rituals, such as Shaker dances and revivalist meetings?. ROCK/MUSIC WRITINGS collects DAN GRAHAM?s influential writings about rock and roll music and its cultural impact. First published in 2009, ROCK/MUSIC WRITINGS includes thirteen essays written between 1968 and 1988, most of which were originally printed in small magazines or journals, including EXTENSIONS, FUSION, REAL LIFE, and ZG.??THE PUBLISHER? ?Timed to his first museum retrospective DAN GRAHAM: BEYOND at the Whitney, is the publication of DAN GRAHAM: ROCK/ MUSIC WRITINGS, the first book to collect in one chronological volume GRAHAM?s writings on music. These sprawling, lucid, meditations of the true meaning of ?Rock and Roll? affirming that while GRAHAM is an artist first and foremost, he's also got more chops than most music scholars. GRAHAM?s approach is both psychoanalytic and anthropological. Unlike the romantic historicizing of LESTER BANGS and GREIL MARCUS, GRAHAM?s writing is refreshingly against the boomer grain. Dogmatic and realistic, GRAHAM looks towards the real-life forces that have shaped the culture, showing that movement?s like Punk don?t ?just happen.? In his essays ?Artist as Producer? and ?McLAREN?s Children? GRAHAM focuses on the phenomenon of the Rock Entrepreneur, drawing comparisons between MALCOLM McLAREN, ALAN FREED, and PHIL SPECTOR, and explaining how all three capitalized on the relatively recent social and economic phenomenon of ?the teenager,? while simultaneously (and perhaps secondarily) expanding the possibilities of youth culture. Artists are treated more gently: In ?New Wave Rock and the Feminine,? GRAHAM studies the identity politics that were performed by a variety of Girl Groups, dissecting the lyrics of LYDIA LUNCH, THE SLITS, and THE B-52?s, to show how they offered various popular interpretations of gender. Analysis of the VELVET UNDERGROUND, THE KINKS, THE VANILLA FUDGE, THE DOORS, THE BEATLES, THE FALL, THE BYRDS, DEVO, THE CLASH, ELVIS COSTELLO, THE RAMONES, might be described as obsessive, but for that perfectly reflects the culture he criticizes.??ASHER PENN, INTERVIEW MAGAZINE (2009)? ?GRAHAM admitted to being influenced by such rock writers as CRAWDADDY magazine founder PAUL WILLIAMS, JON SAVAGE and especially GREIL MARCUS (elements of which flicker through here), but unlike those writers GRAHAM approaches the subject as a painter would a canvas or a sculptor with a freshly mined block of marble?to bring to rock writing a sense of external creation where the typed pages of the finished essay, the layout and the published book would be viewed as paintings or sculptures, art objects in their own right?. Sections, quotes and lyrics taken from one essay are reworked and re-inserted elsewhere, and the book merges together to form a single artwork that transcends rock writing?while celebrating it at the same time.??EDWIN POUNCEY, WIRE (2010)? ?By giving his (positive) attention to pop music?the flip side of someone like ADORNO, who spared only enough energy to scorn it?GRAHAM documents one of the huge shifts in twentieth-century culture. ROCK/MUSIC WRITINGS is dedicated to ROY LICHTENSTEIN, in whose work, GRAHAM writes, ?the deflation /parody of comic book heroes?can be likened to Pop art?s deflation of the myth of the heroic Abstract Expressionist painter?? One can see how an iconoclastic impulse rules this book?and much of his writing?. GRAHAM picks up the task of showing ow musicians, much like LICHTENSTEIN?s generation of artists, were working to attack their chosen form from within?and often uses their own lyrics and words as evidence. ?Pop music is definitely a vulgar art form connected with consumerism,? GRAHAM quotes a member of DEVO.??MARTHA SCHWENDENER, BOOKFORUM (2010)?? For other details about this book, please see below.?TITLE: ?ROCK / MUSIC WRITINGS?AUTHOR: DAN GRAHAMDESIGNER: KARMAILLUSTRATED: 29 B&W ImagesTYPE: TRADE PAPERBACKPAGES: 219+PUBLISHER, LOCALE, & YEAR: Primary Information | Dan Graham (New York), 2009EDITION: First Edition, First Printing**RE: On the Copyright Page, this statement ?Edition of 3,000? copies?with no later printings listed.NOTE: This copy is NOT ex-library NOR a book-club edition. ISBN: 0-9788697-3-7 CONDITION OF WRAPS & INTERIOR: VERY GOOD PLUS.Book is square.
