"Paul McCarthy's 'Tide Box Tide Book' accompanies the two-part exhibition 'Low Life Slow Life' curated by McCarthy and organized by the CCA Wattis Institute and archives significant images that McCarthy has selected to support and accentuate his curatorial choices. Designed by Paul McCarthy, the book is an artwork in itself and showcases a vast range of artworks and artists that reflect memories of McCarthy's career, presenting a personal map of his individual art history and philosophy. The book also includes an epilogue by Wattis Institute director Jens Hoffmann, an interview with McCarthy, a text by the artist, and numerous installation images." -- publishers statement.
