Signs of the Apocalypse or Rapture is a curatorial survey of a pivotal moment in contemporary artistic theory and practice. This timely volume features a comprehensive section of writings and essays on the notion of end times--including interviews from a special episode of National Public Radio's "Worldview" devoted to the topic; a gallery of diverse and engaging visual imagery--with contributions from over sixty artists, including such well-respected contemporary figures as Bill Viola, Julie Mehretu, Ed Ruscha, Richard Misrach, Fred Tomaselli, Nina Bovasso, and others, each of whom contributes a single image featured on a two-page spread; and two audio CDs--featuring eighteen sound artists, including Sonic Youth--with accompanying liner notes and an introduction from the editors. Cleverly expanding on the duality of the title's possibilities--hopeful beacons for the future or the indication that things are heading amiss--the book offers a provocative take on the contemporary trend towards apocalyptic and rapturous art, thought, and sound. A collector's item for anyone drawn to the hybridized world of visual and critical culture, Signs of the Apocalypse or Rapture is a cutting-edge look at art in practice.
