Book Description
In a striking limestone building at the intersection of Chicago Avenue and Mies van der Rohe Way stands Chicago's Museum of Contemporary Art, home to work by legends like Andy Warhol, Bruce Nauman, and Kara Walker, as well as newcomers to the always-vibrant international art scene. Never a place for the timid or for those who prefer polite paintings and genteel etchings, the MCA lives by the motto "Fear No Art"--and despite its distinction as one of Chicago's major museums, curators there still deliver the transgressive iconoclasm that has always set the museum apart. In 2008 anthropologist Matti Bunzl was given unrestricted access to the MCA as its staff prepared for a massive retrospective of work by international art superstar Jeff Koons. "In the House of Balloon Dog" catalogs Bunzl's experiences as he observed curators and preparators arranging Koons's stainless steel bunnies and aluminum lobsters--and debating the placement of "Made in Heaven," the provocative series depicting the artist and his erstwhile porn-actress wife in an assortment of uninhibited sex acts. Bunzl takes readers behind the scenes of the contemporary art museum to reveal how curators select what to show, the role donors play in these decisions, and the ways in which curation and marketing come together--and sometimes come into conflict--in a museum's attempt to reach a larger audience. Featuring appearances by many other leading artists such as Liam Gillick, Jenny Holzer, Karen Kilimnik, and Tino Sehgal, "In the House of Balloon Dog "is the first book of its kind, an eye-opening account of the contemporary art boom and a rare glimpse at the fate and future of art.

Book Description
Death prophecies, ghost clowns, homicidal redcaps…this town has really gone to the dogs. Zero Dog mercenary Andrea Walker used to love fortune cookies—until the day she cracked one open to find a death prophecy. Of course, believing a fortune from a mass-produced baked good would be insane—until a berserker shows up on her doorstep claiming he’s been sent by an oracle to save her life. She must hire him or die. But hell really breaks loose when the Zero Dogs are contracted to stop a ghost-summoning goblin’s plan to bring his Eternal Malevolence Carnival and Incredible Show of Evil to Portland, starring a company of ghost performers—clowns, acrobats, and nefarious balloon-twisting mimes. Meanwhile, Andrea’s abnormally shy succubus friend Tiffany seems to be falling for the mysterious berserker. Too bad a malfunctioning charm spell has the redcap goblin yearning for her as well. Now Andrea must elude a death prophecy, discover if her new-hire berserker can be trusted, and avert the looming ghost clown apocalypse. Just another day at the office for the Zero Dogs. Reader note: contains clowns and other shenanigans. May not be suitable for some circuses.
