A Real Bronx Cheer
Fulton Ryder
· 2012
· Hardcover with dust jacket
A significant collaboration between two artists and a music impresario, featuring Colen's sculptures of cement-filled whoopie cushions, Kenny's collaborative cartoon drawings of an inflatable God, and Delsener's humorous captions.
The drawings depict contentious moments in the relationship between a priest and his inflatable God, who is rendered in the tradition of a blow-up sex doll. The book is about the inherent utility of air and humor as our greatest defense mechanism against the unanswerable questions we all carry. The cement-filled whoopee cushions represent the faith an artist places in any object he creates, capturing something ephemeral and abstract. The book contains numerous gag cartoons and whoopie cushion imagery.
