Pop Surrealism: The rise of undeground art. Kristen Anderson ed.

I LOVE this book. I also love the possibilites it shows for subverting popular culture - using popular cultural images in strange and unusual ways. I think this is exactly what Neil Everenden is talking about when he discusses the power of art to change the way that people see the world.

I had seen this book a year or so ago in a Chapters, and liked it but didn't want to spend the money to buy it. However, as I have been thinking more and more about art in relation to this course I have repeatedly thought about the book - so I decided to get it and see if it was as relevant as I remembered it to be. I really think it is.

I hope that I can use the inspiration of this book for the style, and the inspiration of the theory I have been reading from some of the authors to compose my final project for this class. I am excited about the idea. I have some images in mind - I'm just worried about my ability to translate what I see in my head to paper. Wish me luck!
