Her self-published book, Faye Food , arrived in my mailbox yesterday and it has done nothing but fuel my infatuation with this deeply passionate and articulate cook. If you've been reading this site for any length of time, you'll know that my favorite cookbooks are ones in which the author's voice and personality play a prominent role. From watching Hess's cooking videos, I knew that she loved food and enjoyed nothing so much as that moment when she could make someone roll their eyes in pleasure from the taste of her food. I had hoped that her book would be written from a similar perspective and now, having spent a little time with it, I'm happy to say that it is everything I hoped it would be. The book is organized by time of day, so it starts out with a handful of breakfast recipes and then moves forward through sandwiches, salads, soups, big salads, dinners and desserts. She also offers advice on stocking a kitchen (both in terms of equipment and pantry staples) and a 'how-to' section that instructs on how to make your own breadcrumbs and how to scramble an egg. If you love food and find pleasure in sharing food with others, check out this book.

In the same vein, however, Hess continues to make critical use of familiar images and logos now rampant in society. By isolating and dissecting these images in seemingly incongruous arrangements, he is able to provide revelatory new aesthetic contexts outside of the inscribed value systems of commercial capitalism. The sculpture King Gerrit borrows from Gerrit Rietveld’s Red Blue Chair, one of the most iconic pieces of modern furniture. In Hess’ version, the back of the chair is lengthened to the point of instability and the legs are secured with colored masking tape that extends to the surrounding floor space—much like his signature linear designs. Appearing more like a throne than a chair, this is an homage at once explicit and open-ended to the furniture designer (Hess studied at the Gerrit Rietveld Academy in the Netherlands from 1992 to 1996). Several of Hess’ new sculptures feature different body parts in isolation. In From Crutch to Cane, a display dummy holds a cane while also balancing an 18th century gun on the same arm. Forming a long zigzag that is constructed out of several canes, this floor installation is a reminder of human frailty—canes used by the elderly, crutches by the injured. Hess also transforms a carved wooden mask from Lötschental, the largest valley in the Bernese Alps, into a fountain-sculpture titled Brunnen. Water pumping through the eyes gives it anthropomorphic qualities, suggesting a suspended state of grief. Similarly, in Giacometti (hello), an I.V. stand is transformed into a mobile figure with outstretched arms and a head composed of an oversized, rolled-up 1,000 Swiss Franc bill bearing the face of Giacometti. The work is another example of the artist’s enduring investigation of the intersection of art with the social, political, and economic implications of Switzerland’s private banking sector. Off-Shore Island Trade, a five piece wall installation, takes as its point of departure the disappearance of Paul Cézanne’s Boy in a Red Waistcoat from the E.G. Buehrle Collection museum earlier this year. Here, the painting reappears sitting in a palm tree on an unknown island. Cézanne’s work is used as a symbol for money, with further references to Switzerland’s “banking secrecy” and the inevitable corruption that comes with the manipulation of taxation law loopholes. Nic Hess was born in 1968 in Zurich. Selected solo exhibitions include the Kunstmuseum Winterthur, Switzerland; The Fruitmarket Gallery, Edinburgh; bytheway projects, Amsterdam; Arndt & Partner, Zurich; Casa del Lago, Mexico City; Swiss Institute, New York. Projected exhibitions include the Hammer Museum in spring 2009.

"We extracted information in a battle of the wits. I'm proud to say I never compromised my humanity." And why can’t we? HT: Chris W.
