Published in conjunction with the exhibition Douglas Gordon: Timeline, held at the Museum of Modern Art, New York, from June 11-September 4, 2006.
Douglas Gordon's work has been shown extensively in Europe and America and has won many prizes. His acclaimed 24-Hour Psycho slowed down Hitchcock's thriller to two frames a second, setting up new tensions and narratives so that any previous memory of the film is confused. This substantial book brings together for the first time all Gordon's text works including postcards, t-shirts, tattoos, short stories, instructions, and letters. These are presented alongside a wide variety of his visual creative source material. It follows a number of inventive books Gordon has produced. He has previously worked with Mau on a book to accompany a major exhibition of Gordon's work at the Kunstverein Hannover in 1998.
Gangsters such as Al Capone and Lucky Luciano were considered by many people to be the most exciting personalities of the 1920s and 1930s. The public was hungry for press coverage about these mysterious and dangerous men. Most reports about them were sketchy, as the reporters did not want to get on the bad side of the racket bosses. Hollywood’s response to the public’s fascination was to portray the lives of gangsters on the movie screen, using actors such as Humphrey Bogart, James Cagney, and Edward G. Robinson. Perhaps surprisingly, these men received not-so-favorable reviews from the Academy Award voters, and as their popularity grew with the public, censorship dictated other actors be brought in to play the roles. That’s what this book is about—the personal and professional lives of William Bendix, Charles Bickford, Ward Bond, Broderick Crawford, Brian Donlevy, Paul Douglas, William Gargan, Barton MacLane, and Lloyd Nolan, second-string actors who replaced the big names and did a memorable job. A filmography is supplied for each actor.
