November 1, 2004
Esopus 3 is now available in bookstores and on newsstands. Its contents include artists’ projects by Andrea Dezsó, Jenny Holzer and Mark Keffer, a pull-out poster of 100 frames from Bruce Conner’s 1966 film Breakaway (with an appreciation by artist Doug Aitken), portraits of Marcel Duchamp, Franz Kline, Louise Nevelson, Isamu Noguchi and many others by the late photographer Marvin Lazarus, a new “Dear Sissy” letter-monologue by playwright Stephen Adly Guirgis, and an interview with alternative rock band The Wrens, who discuss the making of their acclaimed 2003 album The Meadowlands.
This issue also features a 10-track invitational CD on the theme of “Product Displacement,” for which musicians Sonic Boom (Spacemen 3), Jad Fair (Half Japanese), Scott McCloud (Girls vs. Boys), New York jazz/scat singer Connie MacNamee and The Baptist Generals, among others, have “embedded” advertising jingles or slogans in original songs.
