[24] pp.; 14 x 17.8 cm.; staple bound; black-and-white; edition size unknown; unsigned and unnumbered; offset-printed; Artist's book documenting the timeline of Chris Burden's bicycle / car, or B-Car, written by Chris Burden and Alexis Smith. Illustrated with numerous photographs and diagrams throughout. Catalogue designed and Produced by Future Studio for CHOKE Publications and launched at the opening of a Chris Burden exhibition held at Ronald Feldman Gallery, New York, April 1, 1977. "During the two-month period between August 24 and October 16, 1975, I conceived, designed, and constructed a small one-passenger automobile. My goal was to design a fully operational four-wheel vehicle which would travel 100 miles per hour and achieve 100 miles per gallon. I imagined this vehicle as extremely lightweight, streamlined, and similar in structure to both a bicycle and an airplane. Once the project was conceived, I was compelled to realize it. I set the goal of completing the car for two shows in Europe. I saw building the car as a means toward the end of driving it between galleries in Amsterdam and Paris as a performance. When I arrived in Amsterdam, I knew that the accomplishment of constructing the car had become for me the essential experience. I had already realized the most elaborate fantasy of my life. Driving the car as a performance was not important after the ordeal of bringing it into existence. The car is not completely engineered most of the parts are handmade, and many of the decisions design and construction were based on hunches. As I worked, I kept the sketches and drawings as a recon of the process. Displayed with the car, they become documentation of the construction. The car and drawings represent a vision - my fantasy as an artist of what a car should be." - from book's introduction References : "Chris Burden : 74 - 77" by Chris Burden.
