Ed Ruscha / Lawrence Weiner
Hard Light
Los Angeles, USA: Heavy Industries Publications, 1978
[116] pp., 17.6 x 12.5 cm., softcover
Edition size unknown
Heavy Industries Publications is the name Ruscha used for several of his own self-published artist’s books, such as Crackers, Records, and A Few Palm Trees. Its final release is this Ruscha and Lawerence Weiner photo-novel starring Shelley Chamberlain, Suzanne Chandler, and Susan Haller in an oblique visual drama.
Except for a single statement by Weiner, this is a textless photo-narrative documenting several conversations between three women, each photographed in a different setting.
"Ruscha's books are meant to be read, but since the art world doesn't know how to read he might as well amuse himself.”
— Eleanor Antin
