Minneapolis: Angel Bomb Press, (2023). 6 of 12 copies, signed and numbered by the artist on the rear panel. Second Edition. The first edition, with a few minor variations to this edition, was limited to 22 copies and sold out quickly. According to the artist: "This resin cast dumpster is a deconstructed artist book commemorating our failings as a society but hopefully encouraging everyone to do better—to BE better. Within the hand-sculpted and hand-painted dumpster are thirteen die-cut, illustrated, letterpress pieces of garbage representing just a few of the horrors we dealt with in 2020. These are packed in a shredded Bill of Rights and includes a small folio, all printed on a speckletone kraft stock. This is a 2nd and final edition representing a recycled idea and recycled problems. Mass shootings are happening at a record rate, hate crimes are increasing, and we’ve literally done nothing about climate change. Have we made any progress?" This hand painted miniature yellow dumpster includes a small remnant of an American flag sculpted on one edge and two removable lid flaps. The thirteen letterpress pieces of garbage feature portraits of Trump, Covid-19, Giuliani, wildfires, maskless people, insurrectionists, abandoned homes, and more. The versos of each image include text describing each "fiasco". Topics addressed range from Covid to George Floyd to climate change and more. A "fun" book art object commemoration of an absolutely horrible year for Americans - and the rest of the world. A letterpress bi-fold summaries the horrors, some of which have been addressed, but most are ongoing. Size: 5.5 x 3.25 x 4 inches. ARTB/110923. Fine. More

Et toi, rampant, que manges-tu? - je dévore le trottinant qui bâfre l’ailé qui croque le flottant. Et toi, flottant, que manges-tu? - j’engloutis le vulveux qui suce le ventru qui mâche le sautillant. Et toi, sautillant, que manges-tu? -je happe le gazouillant qui gobe le bigarré qui égorge le galopant. Est-il bon, chers mangeurs? est-il bon, le goût du sang? Doux, doux, tu ne sauras jamais comme il est doux, herbivore! Wildlife by Norge And you swarming, what are you eating? - I eat the hairy one that digests the pulpy one that gnaws at the creeper. And you crawling, what are you eating? - I devour the trotter, which slurps the winged one, which bites the floater. And you floating, what are you eating? - I swallow the vulva sucking the pot-bellied one chewing the hopping. And you hopper, what are you eating? - I catch the chirp that swallows the variegated who slaughters the galloping. Is it good, dear eaters, is the taste of blood good? - Sweet, sweet! You'll never know how sweet it is, herbivore! Fine. More
