Even if you know Doug Hall's work, you don't know "this" Doug Hall: the little boy afraid of bears in Boston who became the love-smitten art student who grew into a fearless Conceptual artist challenging many of our most beloved assumptions. Although lavishly and beautifully illustrated, this is not a book only to be looked at but one to be thoroughly read and enjoyed. In an account at once intimate and historical, Doug Hall writes eloquently about his development as a person and an artist. He situates his story within the broader conflicts of the latter part of the twentieth century and shows how these often absurd forces influenced a generation of artists to adopt radical art practices - video, performance, and installation - as a counter to the modernist aesthetics that preceded them. From his hilarious and troubling descriptions of the Altamont Free Concert (1969) and his disorienting confrontation in Berkeley with an LSD-tripping Indian Saddhu to his thoughts about teaching, making art, and the thinking behind some of his most important projects, Hall's writing is generous and instructive for all those interested in our humanity and how it is nurtured through the arts. 250 Illustrations, color

This Senior Sillysaurus and Arya is a memoir disguised as a series of interconnected young persons' books, translated into English from Sillysaurese by Poppa Jeff. The Sillysaurus is much more than a personified pooch who wants to share her superb adventures, sometimes stretching the truth. The Sillysaurus is a philosopher from whose stories we can learn and from whose love and devotion can lead us to become more joyous persons.This second book consists of four separate books with multiple chapters, written by the Sillysuarus and conveniently bound together in one volume. In this volume, the Sillysaurus experiences a pandemic, grows very old, and sadly moves on to Saurus-Nirvana. From there, she suggests Poppa Jeff adopt Arya, a Pup-of-a-Saurus who is full of youthful energy and mischief!
