NYC: Trans Magazine, 2000
25 x 21 cm großes Einzelblatt aus bedrucktem essbarem Kaugummi mit einer reproduzierten Zeichnung des bösen Weihnachtsmanns von McCarthy. Diese Esskunstobjekte wurden mit der in der Zeitschrift eingeschweißten Hülle herausgegeben und erwiesen sich als äußerst zerbrechlich. Viele zerbrachen und rissen während des Transports oder im Zeitschriftenregal. Dieses Exemplar ist so makellos, wie man es heute nur noch finden kann, und ist vollständig mit nur oberflächlichen Rissen. Selten.

Paul McCarthy: TRANS Gum was created as the cover artist multiple for TRANS>8: Arts.Cultures.Media, published in 2000. The piece consists of a reproduced Paul McCarthy drawing, often described as an “evil Santa,” silk-screened onto a single sheet of pink chewing gum and attached to the magazine cover. The magazine was originally issued shrink-wrapped, with the gum multiple presented directly on the front.

Inside, TRANS>8 brings together contemporary art, culture, and media, with contributions connected to artists including Paul McCarthy and Olafur Eliasson. McCarthy’s gum cover transforms a familiar holiday figure into a strange, unsettling image, matching his wider interest in consumer culture, childhood icons, bodily humor, and psychological discomfort. Because the chewing gum cover is extremely fragile and many examples cracked or broke over time, complete examples are especially collectible for fans of Paul McCarthy, artist multiples, experimental magazines, and early-2000s contemporary art publications.
