James Kalm returns to make a brief walk through tour of this, Jason Rhoades largest and last installation. With Rhoades death in 2006, shortly after the completion of "Black Pussy", this work stands as a final monument to his particularly unique Western American vision. Accumulations of various objects, hookahs, cowboy hats, hand blown bottles, as well as neon signs referring to female genitalia create a dense network of cultural and aesthetic motifs critiquing the new millennial hipster.

@rhododendron124 . my comment is actually a compliment to Jason Rhoades. The failures i speak of are our 'cultures', not Jasons. You are an angry little tool who is ready to jump to conclusions and shoot off your little ineffectual gun. You spout cliches like a teenage punk rock fan who is mad because your favorite band went all acoustic. Shut up and quit being a fanboy.

Thanks for putting this up...I was a good friend of Jason's and went to several parties at the Black Pussy. It looks awfully sterile with no people, music, food and drinks, but that's art, eh? For most of us the party was the thing.
