Item description from seller

Paperback exhibition catalog for a show of videos started at Thread Waxing Space in NY, travelled to the Museum of Contemporary Art in No Miami and concluded at University of Colorado at Boulder. There is a library stamp on the front and edge/surface wear on the cover and spine, paperclip bend on first page (press release clipped to page is included.) Upper right corner is bent through the whole book. 79 pages, color plates in the front, black and white illustrations in text.SPECTACULAR OPTICAL is a book published by TRANS> arts.cultures.media to accompany the exhibition bt the same name held at Thread Waxing Space. The book takes as a point of departure the cultural fascination with violence, atrocity, mutation and the ways that they are depicted (some would say gentrified) as entertainment. The essays examine the ways in which opticality has become so spectacular, how this bedazzlement with entertainment is engineered in the larger sphere of cultural production. From feminism to fetishism, from simulation to stimulation, the book takes as an example David Cronenberg's work which deals with corporeality, aggravated biology, technology, spectacle, media, and violence. All orders packed with care, most dust jackets protected by Brodart sleeve, independent bookseller since 2011.…
