Amy O'Neill
Première monographie consacrée à l'artiste américaine, présentant ses grandes installations, ses sculptures et ses dessins sur le mode d'un voyage à travers l'imaginaire folklorique des banlieues et des campagnes américaines : une série de constructions en bois mises en parallèle avec des films réalisés dans un zoo déserté dans une forêt de Pennsylvanie, un ensemble de travaux inspirés d'attractions touristiques dans des parcs nationaux, et les gigantesques sculptures de la série Parade Float Graveyard réinterprétant les chars de parade spectaculaires de la Nouvelle Orléans.

Amy O'Neill
This journey through the American suburban imagination--by Pennsylvania-born Amy O'Neill, who currently lives and works in New York--reveals the uncanny that lies just beneath the banal. O'Neill's work is situated between the past and present, vernacular and global, high and low cultures. Her sculptures, installations and drawings trade in recycled bits of Americana like bald eagles, carnival midway games and basement rec rooms.

A recent installation, "Forest Park Forest Zoo" (2007), memorializes an abandoned roadside petting zoo that O'Neill found off a country road in the midst of a Gallitzin, Pennsylvania, forest. This first monograph includes a text by artist and writer John Miller.

Contract on the President
In the nation's brief history, three presidents have faced impeachment. Andrew Johnson, Richard Nixon and William Jefferson Clinton. Now there is a fourth. President John Simeon Andrews. He is in deep trouble with a hostile Congress. He used his high office for personal gain, and there is no way out. The House is certain to impeach President Andrews and the Senate is just as certain to convict. He will be the first president kicked out of office. Plagued by deep-seated paranoia, Andrews steadily slips toward insanity. He refuses to resign. He blames reporter Sam Matthews for pushing him to the edge of a political abyss. He plots the murder of Matthews and orders his own assassination to avoid leaving a muddy footprint in history. But he doesn't stop there.
