Consulting with the estate and sources ranging from online forums for bullet makers to a ballistics lab associated with the United States Secret Service, Myers sought to make the bullet and fire it at a shirt that had been worn by BunÌuel. While trying to bring this absurdist endeavor to completion, the artist was met with a colorful cast of characters and failures at almost every turn. A Bullet for BunÌuel has taken many forms - a video work, a multiple, and a performative lecture - all of which are represented in this publication. Myers' writing, research, correspondence, and photographs are also included in the book, which synthesizes years of work into a singular meditation on the poetics of failure.-from Printed Matter. 600 10 $a BunÌuel, Luis, $d 1900-1983 $x Influence. 600 10 $a Myers, Rick $x Themes, motives. 600 17 $a BunÌuel, Luis $d (1900-1983). $2 ram 600 17 $a Myers, Rick. $2 ram 650 0 $a Artists' books $v Specimens. 650 0 $a Bullets $x In art. 650 0 $a Failure (Psychology) in art. 650 7 $a Livres d'artistes. $2 ram 650 7 $a Munitions $x Dans l'art. $x Dans l'art. $2 ram 650 7 $a EÌchec. $2 ram 710 2 $a Primary Information (Organization), $e issuing body. 941 $a 1 952 $l USUX851 $d 20171107014522.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=512F2BD6C38A11E7B100357297128E48 994 $a 92 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
