The Brooklyn based Jim Butler paints large pictures of small objects. Lushly rendered, Butler's artifacts of mass culture, toys, and kitsch are blown up, frozen in time, and suspended in fields of monochromatic color. This is a catalogue from his 1994 exhibition at Track 16 Gallery. Essay by David Moos.

Echoes of prospectors, forlorn widows and politicians linger in the streets and historic remnants of Nevada's former boomtowns. In the throes of early financial disaster, the Silver State had little to entice newcomers or discourage residents from leaving. Jim Butler's silver discovery at Tonopah changed everything. With a subsequent gold discovery near Goldfield, the rush was on, and from these burgeoning mines, Nevada's early leaders amassed their wealth and power. Paranormal historian Janice Oberding shares firsthand accounts of ghostly encounters in the Goldfield and Mizpah Hotels and uncovers the history behind the mysterious cowboy ghost, the haggard hitchhiker and other eerie local tales.

POLAROIDS is a collection of story/snapshots from a life-long scrapbook: quick images of passing moments in the life of Jackie Barron--hapless lover, hopeless drinker, publicist, pub-crawler, defender of the English language, defendant in the court of life. In 1965 the black & white Polaroid Swinger captured moments available to no one but the photographer and the subject, creating a whole new world of bedroom photography. No hair-and-makeup artists, lighting crew, scenic designer and wardrobe department. Sometimes no wardrobe. "Bedroom photography" is an apt metaphor for POLAROIDS.

Unless maybe the story concerns some thoroughly humiliating experience; there's a pretty good chance I may have done that one." His stories are a life's truths, imagined.

Lured by all the twenty-eighth state offered, Butler, his wife, twelve children, and seven slaves gambled big in 1852, migrating from Mississippi in covered wagons to the unknown prairies of Texas. It was there that the Butlers would begin a new chapter, fueled by their rugged, hard-working spirit. Charles Olmsted, a former award-winning sports writer, relies on extensive research and anecdotes to chronologically capture the fascinating history of the Butler family. Beginning with a cattle drive during the Civil War, Olmsted details how Burnells son, William G. Butler joined in helpi...
