 | Paul McCarthy by Ralph Rugoff
American artist Paul McCarthy creates sculptures artist Paul figuring animal/vegetable/human hybrids, Disneyesque installations and slapstick performances in a weird evocation of a national subconscious, The psycho-sexual desires and anxieties induced by the media and the built environment of contemporary America emerge in his collisions of plastic prosthetics and simulated bodily fluids. These have been variously deployed: through live actions, often documented on video, and more recently in outsized figures and artificial rural environments, combined in overtly sexual ways. McCarthy's work echoes that of European artists such as Joseph Beuys or the Viennese Aktionistes, but gives 'action art' a post-modern twist. This is the first comprehensive survey of over twenty years of work by a profoundly influential artist. AUTHOR: Ralph Rugoff
