Drawn from extensive research and original interviews, James Dean: Rebel Life strips back the hype to reveal the man behind the myth. Filled with the testimonies of the actors, directors and ex-lovers who knew Dean best, and lavishly illustrated with candid photos (from boyhood up to Dean's untimely death) and sumptuous film stills, the book provides a uniquely personal insight into the life and times of Hollywood's tragic leading man essential reading for fans of every generation."

A companion to Aria Dean’s Abattoir, U.S.A.! Aria Dean’s moving image work Abattoir, U.S.A.!, presented in the eponymous exhibition at the Renaissance Society between February and April 2023, surveys the interior of an empty slaughterhouse. This slaughterhouse was built and animated using Unreal Engine, a 3D computer graphics tool for creating virtual environments. The viewer follows a linear path through an impossible architecture—a seamless combination of nineteenth, twentieth, and twenty-first-century design elements and non-Euclidean spaces. Dean was initially inspired by philosophers Georges Bataille and Frank Wilderson, each of whom address the slaughterhouse in their writings –whether as a metaphor or paradigm—as crucial to the construction of civil society. Abattoir, U.S.A.! also builds on Dean’s own research into the slaughterhouse and industrial architecture and the ways they reveal modernism’s intimacy with death on conceptual, political, and material levels. This book documents the exhibition as well as selected material from Dean’s process and research. It includes essays by film scholar Erika Balsom, who writes on the history of abattoirs and their relation to modernism, Afropessimist theory, and the dehumanizing rationality of capitalism. Architect and writer Keller Easterling contributes a quasi-fictional text from her ongoing series of Draft Teenage Essays, which are part of her collection of experimental writings titled No One Thing. This volume also includes transcripts of two conversations: one between Dean and film historian Bruce Jenkins in which they discuss Dean’s work in relation to historical avant-garde films; and another with Dean and co-director of Rhizome Michael Connor, media artist Filip Kostik, and composer Evan Zierk, who created the soundtrack for Abattoir, U.S.A.! Together they discuss the technical process of using Unreal Engine and the nature of virtuality.

Fifty years of DeVane's energetic, interactive sculptures, paintings and works on paper Maryland-based artist Oletha DeVane (born 1952) has long been a prominent presence in the Baltimore-area art scene, working in all media, including public sculpture. Spectrum of Light and Spirit documents the first full retrospective of her work, from early paintings to video artworks and interactive sculpture. Among the works presented here is a large-scale carved sculpture, N’Kisi Woman—Universal N’Kisi (2021–22); nkisi is a Kongo cultural figure invested with sacred energy. The work reflects DeVane’s fascination with how materials convey meaning and reemerge as myths and memories. “Oletha DeVane is a wayfinder and a storyteller,” says the retrospective’s curator, Lowery Stokes Sims. “Over the last five decades as she has traveled in Asia, Africa and the Caribbean, she has been inspired by the stories and characters she encounters, bringing the unexpected to light, while finding new nuances in the old and familiar, and unexpected correlations among those varied cultures.”

The Dean, Dillinger, and Dayton, Ohio
Stephen C Grismer
Dayton Police History Foundation, Incorporated
2020
pokkari
Dayton, Ohio is the setting for this story and with it comes two larger-than-life figures: John Dillinger, who would later be named the nation's first "Public Enemy No. 1," and Police Chief Rudy Wurstner, who would become the nation's "Dean of Police Chiefs." All three - The Dean, Dillinger, and Dayton - come into their own in different ways in the year 1903, making it the starting point for this story. The "Gem City" has unique tales as compelling as those of other more publicized metropolises. While Dillinger was in and out of Dayton over a mere 5 months in 1933, Chief Wurstner served Dayton citizens over the course of 5 decades. Yet is it Dillinger who is best remembered nationally. Often publications - when addressing Dillinger's time in Dayton and with his local girlfriend, Mary Jenkins Longnaker - gloss over the episode; Mary was not a gangster moll and his coming to Dayton happened before the famed Allen County jail escape. But the local story is more involved, and not surprisingly when it comes to Dillinger, a mix of facts and folklore. This is the definitive tale of Dillinger in Dayton and brings to light his forlorn love affair. Readers will also be introduced to other gangsters and mobsters with Greater Dayton connections - such as local crime figure Al Fouts, the more infamous Chicago mobster George 'Bugs' Moran, gangster Al Karpis, and many others. In the end, this saga will tie Dayton, Ohio to colorful legends from arguably the most notorious period in American history. The many figures and events from the Gem City's past provide an astonishing untold legacy.
