  It’s a kind of analogue for the visual work that I make with my brother, and I guess the best way to describe it would be as a cure for insomnia, or a good book to prop up a wonky table.
  -Jake Chapman quoted from Artforum

  Ex-con. Author. Legend. Edward Bunker is one of the acknowledged masters of crime writing. Written in the late 1960’s and discovered after Bunker’s death in 2005, STARK is his first and perhaps his most explosive novel ever.

  Oceanview, Los Angeles, 1962.

  STARK is a rat and a con-artist. Nobody’s friend. The kind of guy Eddie Bunker met in San Quentin. Stark thinks he can beat the suckers and outsmart the cops. When a big score comes his way, he’s lucky to escape with his life. Four others are not so lucky.

  Eddie Bunker described Stark as a story about a con man. Eddie didn’t think much of con-men, because, as a rule, they preyed upon people weaker than themselves. But he understood them.

  STARK was Eddie Bunker’s first novel, written in the early 60s and a harbinger of the books that brought him critical acclaim such as No Beast So Fierce.

  On the occasion of Bacon at the TATE…

  “In the 16th and 17th centuries it was quite common for theologians to see a slaughtered animal as symbolizing the death of a believer.”

  ” The greatest big band I ever played with was in San Quentin. Art Pepper and I were co-leaders, and we were proud of that band. We had Jimmy Bunn, … and Frank Butler – he was the number three drummer, that’s how many good musicians were already there. …We played every Saturday night for what they called Warden’s Tour, which showed paying visitors – at $17.50 a ticket – only the cleanest cell blocks and exercise yards. I noticed some people coming to the Warden’s Tour repeatedly, and I realized they would take that tour just to hear the band, not to see the gas chamber. They’d heard Art was back in the pen and wanted to hear him.”
  – Frank Morgan

  

  Pepper was undeniably a West Coast jazzman. As a native of Gardena, California, he had more claim to the label than many Eastern and Midwest players who came to the Los Angeles area and played in the less overtly emotional manner that came to define the style. His solo approach was always passionate, from early recordings made with Stan Kenton’s orchestra during his years with the band (1943 and 1946-52) and in jam sessions on L.A.’s Central Avenue. Records and club work with Shorty Rogers and his Giants beginning in 1951 provided more room for his solo skills, and by 1952 he began cutting more intimate and open quartet and quintet sessions under his own name.

  By this time he had already developed a dependence on alcohol, pills, and heroin that led to an erratic lifestyle and (in 1952) the first of several arrests and incarcerations. For the remainder of the decade, Pepper alternated stretches in what he would later refer to as “la pinta” (the joint) with bursts of recording activity. Two of these latter occasions found him teaming productively with Miles Davis’s rhythm sections of the time; he would always catch the appearances of the Davis band in Los Angeles, particularly for the transcendent tenor solos of the man he came to admire greatly, John Coltrane.

• FABIOLA

  December 20th 08, 15:53

  

  

  Mexico City based artist Francis Alÿs (b. 1959) has assembled hundreds of paintings depicting Fabiola, a 4th-century saint who gave up all earthly possessions and devoted herself to Christian asceticism. Painted by amateurs and professionals alike, all of the paintings are based on an original work now lost by the 19th-century French artist Jean-Jacques Henner.
