“I got to know these people – Diego Riviera, Alejandro Jodorowsky – I got so clear with them by being there, as well as some of the old Gods. It was a brilliant trip, how do you do that again? I don’t know. But things as good as that? Yes please.
It can be fantastic, when the circumstances are very inspiring, which is what Oaxaca in Mexico is. I didn’t run into any problems, it just sort of went – it had the wind behind it, or a volcano. We made a book from our experience, a storybook with pictures about the time we spent there. It’s not like a catalogue or anything – it’s an artwork in itself”, Sarah Lucas.

Why TITTIPUSSIDAD is this Season’s Mother Lode of Art Books‘Arriving just after an earthquake had shaken the Zapotec region of south-western Mexico, rekindling the local volcano, Simmons said, “..this place was one hell of a hub of weird energy, intention ..it rubbed off, conducted, got in the veins, as did the chilli ..and the grasshoppers”
“Objects surviving from ancient times have lost much of their sense, but none of their power. What is this power?” asks Lucas in TITTIPUSSIDAD, which is itself a work that defies sense with power.’

A five-part book in texts and images, offering a rare insight into the process of making behind Sarah Lucas’s sculptural works:
[1] molding a nobby prize marrow – a ‘Stanway John’
[2] molding an actual nob – a penis, hard-core with plenty of Vaseline, and resulting plaster-cast Penetralia
[3] a nob-negative dug into the ground – and resulting concrete-cast Penetralius
[4] hands-on forming the original clay Oboddaddy – human-sized nob
[5] concrete men’s fetish boots [no nob] – with a pair of fried eggs

“SUPER GRRRREEAAATTTTT TIT TEDDY. Love the look of it, and sound of it! Always good to shake a stick at ‘limitations’!”, Gregor Muir, Executive Director of the ICA.
“So sexy – the fleshy close-ups at that party, the cigarettes and glue, the brick-making guys massaging wet mud with their hands, and that guy working a pestle and mortar – so sensual!!”
“For anyone who doesn’t know you Sarah, this is really what you’re like! …and some of that footage – it looked like a painting, so vibrant”, Michael Clark, CBE.
‘I watched Realidad earlier this week and loved it. I really dig all the subtle audio and video manipulations throughout, and those guys making the bricks by hand was amazing’, Sam Dunn, British Film Institute.
“Tit-Teddy is essential – he makes you feel so good, after this everyone will want Tit-Teddy!”, Sarah Lucas.
“If this is art, what was happening before?”
“…nobody knows, forget that”
“forget before; exercise”
“…getting fit!”
Two day installation of PERCEVAL, a sculpture by Sarah Lucas, 2010. The middle of a Suffolk field, snowing in the depths of winter, ground not quite frozen enough …the truck carrying the 6-tonne bronze horse & cart becoming stuck – so the story unfolds… and apt for the Perceval legend, a prismatic ice-crystal halo around the sun – a grail in the sky!

Sculptures Sarah Lucas 2012, made in Oaxaca 27 March – 12 April 2012, “It’s the bible this fucking book!”, Sarah Lucas. An exhibition at Anahuacalli Museo Diego Rivera 20 April – 8 July 2012, Mexico City, Dir. Hilda Trujillo Soto, in collaboration with José Kuri, kurimanzutto, Mexico City; “This is a historic object”, José Kuri.
‘For Anahuacalli in Mexico City I wanted to make the sculptures in Mexico. Knowing that Nuds will tap into the forces that surround them, the enchantment of the place, and its spirits. I chose Oaxaca for the making process. Or perhaps it chose me.
Even the most ordinary materials are subject to variation country to country. One can either get het up about that or go with the flow. The flow is where the life is, and the surprising things. On the street, in bars, in the marketplace. Tracking down stuff is a good way to get to know a town. The one thing leads to another.
Everything you need is around you somewhere, always. Of course you have to make a start.
Start by not thinking it’s elsewhere’, Sarah Lucas.
“I didn’t run into any problems, it just sort of went – it had the wind behind it, or a volcano.
We made a book from our experience, a storybook with pictures about the time we spent there. It’s not like a catalogue or anything – it is an artwork in itself. Julian, my partner, took all the pictures and he made the book. It’s the story of our time there, the whole story. Is it life-altering? I guess everything is, in a way. It was an exercise in conviction. I got to know these people – Diego Riviera, Alejandro Jodorowsky – I got so clear with them by being there, as well as some of the old Gods. It was a brilliant trip, how do you do that again? I don’t know. But things as good as that? Yes please!”, Sarah Lucas [interview with AnOther Magazine].
‘I am writing to tell you that TITTIPUSSIDAD is from now on, one of my favourite books ever! It is so intimate and delicate in many ways, almost like a film. Very inspiring and moving’, Monica Manzutto, kurimanzutto gallery, Mexico DF.
‘One of the most impressive and memorable books I’ve seen, in a very long time. Very magical indeed, considering it documents less than 1 month of work in so many pages and remains compelling throughout. Congratulations’, managing editor 032c.
‘It’s the good book! A work of art in its own right’, Jonathan Caplan Architects, New York.
“You’re my competition”, Mario Testino, photographer.
‘I am totally blown over by your new book: ‘Tittipussidad’. It is so cohesive, beautifully designed and printed, one of the best Artist Books I have seen in a while. Deeply in awe! Respect!’, Sylvie Liska, Secession, Vienna.
“It’s a weapon!”, Renata Salecl, philosopher, sociologist & legal theorist.
‘This is how art-books should be!’, Brian Henderson, architect of Sizewell B nuclear power station.
