Twenty-Six Gas Stations is a compendium of seemingly uncomposed snapshots of gas stations, documenting the drive on Route 66 from Los Angeles to Oklahoma City. Each of the gas stations was photographed from across the street, and each is identified by a one line caption giving name and location.\u0026quot; source: Los Angeles County Museum of Art, Calender, no 3/83 \u0026quot;Ruscha zegt over zijn aanpak: \u0026#39;Actually, what I was after was no-style or a non-statement with a no-style.\u0026#39; De fotografische stijl is even banaal en onpersoonlijk als de onderwerpen zelf, terwijl het schijnbaar zinloze van deze projecten een ironische maatschappijkritiek oplevert. Ruscha kopieert de codes van de anonimiteit van de louter op commercie gestoelde samenleving en laat die tot ons terugkomen in de vorm van absurde boekjes die een po\u0026euml;tische inertie en leegte uitstralen, tegelijkertijd grappig en sinister.\u0026quot; source: ART 30 Maart 2006\u003c/p\u003e\r\n","date_end":"1978-01-01","reference":"S0210","stream_count_app":13,"permalink":"publications","description_ca":"","short_description_ca":"","description_it":"","short_description_it":"","cached_primary_asset_url":"http://s3.amazonaws.com/mhka_ensembles_production/assets/public/000/072/197/medium_500/2021_04_30_MHKA_-079-52.jpg?1620307587","cached_actor_names":"Ed Ruscha","hide_from_json":false,"prev_platform_id":null,"description_uk":null,"short_description_uk":null,"description_tr":null,"short_description_tr":null,"mhka_works":true,"category":{"en":"Artist Novel","nl":"Artist Novel","fr":"Artist Novel"},"poster_image":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/mhka_ensembles_production/assets/public/000/072/197/large/2021_04_30_MHKA_-079-52.jpg?1620307587","poster_credits":"image: (c) We Document Art, Collection M HKA, Antwerp, Foundation Gordon Matta-Clark","translations":[{"locale":"en","short_description":"","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe books of Ed Ruscha (as you can read in interviews with Jef Wall or Ian Wallace) mark a seizure in history of artist publications. Ed Rusha (as in the work \u0026lsquo;Sunset Boulevard\u0026rsquo;)is using the possibilities of serialization as a way to be attentive and to distill meaning form reality. When we look at the \u0026lsquo;Twentysix Gasoline Stations, 1962\u0026rsquo;, we notice that one gasoline station is banal; a series of gasoline-stations becomes magic.
