<p>Continuous Service Altered Daily is a sprawling, site-engaged sculptural array, or, as David Brooks refers to it, an "asteroid field without a distinctive beginning or end." Brooks has disemboweled a beacon of agricultural technology, a 1976 John Deere combine harvester, into hundreds of individual components, ranging from the iconic and specific to the common and standard. Produced on the occasion of David Brooks: Continuous Service Altered Daily, on view at The Aldrich Contemporary Art Museum May 5, 2016 to February 5, 2017.</p>

David Brooks: Continuous Service Altered Daily

<p>Anissa Mack's exhibition Junk Kaleidoscope marks the twentieth anniversary of The Fair, a multifaceted project first realized by the artist in 1996 that quickly evolved into an exceptionally generative working methodology. Mack mines Americana, its artifacts, folklore, and rituals, incorporating its rich vernacular traditions to examine the shifting dialogue between the history of art making, its systems of appraisal, and the ethos of collecting. Produced on the occasion of Mack's exhibition at The Aldrich Contemporary Art Museum in 2017, this catalogue features an essay by curator Amy Smith-Stewart.</p>

Anissa Mack: Junk Kaleidoscope

In 1999, at the age of 30, Adrian Paci was among the first artists to represent Albania at the Venice Biennale, this book documents his creative path, from that first international exposure back to Ljubljana's Manifesta and on to shows in Sweden, Italy and Germany, before, in 2005, his return to the Venice Biennale and a solo exhibition at New York's P.S.1. Through videos, drawings and photographs, Paci's work portrays a country in which people--old, exhausted, overwhelmed by domestic worries and traditions--retain, at some cost, a familiar world that protects as it suffocates and isolates. Scenes from the everyday lives of the artist and his family and friends also show the building of new communities, communities that negotiate the ground between a new nomadic life and that dark stability.
