Forest

Brian Kennon

Authored in 2007 as part of Kennon's exhibition "Long Live Rock 'N' Roll/Richard Hawkins Decapitated Head" at Daniel Hug gallery in Los Angeles, Forest is a three volume set that reprints two bodies of work (Hawkins' and Martin's) and accompanies them with a third volume. The publication of Forest caps off a series of works (2005-2007) in which Kennon uses the theme of the forest, as understood through the aesthetics of Metal, to suggest a parallel context for Richard Hawkins' Disembodied Zombie works.

The three books are: Forest, a book of forest images collected from the internet; Richard Hawkins, Disembodied Zombies, 1997, a catalog of 7 digital works of severed, floating heads by Richard Hawkins; and Agnes Martin Untitled #1-10, 1990 which reprints a suite of 10 grid-based drawings by Agnes Martin.

The deluxe edition of Forest is printed with a different color on the sleeve. Signed/numbered edition of 10. $100. Contact orders@2ndcannons.com for more info.

Desertshore

Jan Tumlir and Brian Kennon

A collaboration between Jan Tumlir and Brian Kennon and a "prelude catalog" to Tumlir's exhibition of the same name, Desertshore begins with the image from the cover of the Nico album (also a film still from La Circatrice Interieure by Philippe Garrel) to then find a path on/through works from the late 60's - 70's that commonly trip out from the city center and travel to the pasts and futures of desert and space. Moving through Robert Smithson, Ed Ruscha, Bas Jan Ader, Stanley Kubrick's 2001, Alejandro Jodorowsky's El Topo,and Pink Floyd, the book ends with a re-telling of the final sequence of Michelangelo Antonioni's Zabriskie Point.

The Cindy Shermans I'd Like to Fuck-- Brian Kennon

The Cindy Shermans I'd Like to Fuck

Brian Kennon

Sherman’s photographs of phantom female identities are appropriated and reorganized into 7 chapters based on the sex drive of the book’s author. Removed from their more traditional manner of organization (Untitled Film Stills, Centerfolds, History Portraits, etc.) The Cindy Shermans I’d Like to Fuck does little to shed light onto the development of Sherman’s body of work, instead the author uses Sherman’s myriad of self-portraits to create his own form of self-portrait (or at least a portrait of his libido.)
