Nevada's open spaces have long inspired complex responses from a population largely shaped by European sensibilities toward land and its uses. In \u003ci\u003eMapping the Empty\u003c\/i\u003e Fox considers how eight of the state's most distinguished and innovative contemporary artists have responded to the harsh, enigmatic landscapes of the Great Basin and how, through their work, they have expressed and helped to define our attitudes toward the space we call the West. The artists are Jim McCormick, Rita Deanin Abbey, Dennis Parks, Walter McNamara, Robert Beckmann, Michael Heizer, Bill Barker, and Mary Ann Bonjorni.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Just imagine if any of the unreadable high-theory academics from your college art history classes had been storytellers, and you have, say, \u003ci\u003eMapping the Empty\u003c\/i\u003e.\"—Jenny Price \u003ci\u003eBomb Magazine\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"\u003ci\u003eMapping the Empty\u003c\/i\u003e is as perceptive in its analysis of each distinguished artist as it is in painting the big picture for us: that there's more to understand and appreciate in this mostly empty space than first meets the eye.\"—Phil Hagen, \u003ci\u003eLas Vegas Life\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"An eye-opening introduction to just how much important art is being made in Nevada.\"—Geoff Schumacher, \u003ci\u003eLas Vegas CityLife\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eContents\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eList of Illustrations\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eList of Color Plates\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eForeword\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAcknowledgments\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIntroduction: Mapping the Empty\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eJim Mccormick\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Topographical Mind\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRITA DEANIN ABBEY\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eArt in the Place of Abstraction\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDENNIS PARKS\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAn Art of Modest Means\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWALTER MCNAMARA\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReassembling Reality\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eROBERT BECKMANN\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePracticing Apocalypse\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMICHAEL HEIZER\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Perforated Object\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBILL BARKER\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMarketing the Alien(s)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMARY ANN BONJORNI\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReconfiguring the West\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSources\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"University of Nevada Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50469703713111,"sku":"9781647790691","price":24.71,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781647790691.jpg?v=1744896023","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/mapping-the-empty-eight-artists-and-nevada-9781647790691","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
