In Some USA Stories, Argentinian artist Fabian Marcaccio (born 1963) explores the darker side of recent American history. Marcaccio’s 12 new paintings are based on, among other incidents, the Waco disaster in Texas, the mass suicide decreed by Jim Jones in Guyana, the Fallujah massacre in Iraq and the student murders at Columbine High School.

This second but independent volume, Re-Sketching Democracy, shows the newly realized “paintant” of that name by Argentine artist Fabian Marcaccio. An enormous, colorful canvas thick with paint, the “paintant” incorporates commercial logos and political imagery. Marcaccio's voracious art achieves a scale that often bursts gallery bounds and always challenges the mind.

In 661 Conjectures for a New Paint Management, the first of two volumes that complement but don't require each other, Argentine artist Fabian Marcaccio presents 661 actual-size, black-and-white drawings made over the past 15 years. These serve as a kind of DNA for his massive "paintants," in whose sweeping, curving canvases the artist seeks a new paradigm for art, since, as he says here, we've arrived at "a place beyond the exhaustion of late modernism."

The genesis of Fabian Marcaccio's paintings lies in a series of drawings, begun in 1989 and continuing through today, titled "Conjectures for a New Paint Management." Not unlike a learning primer for children, it reduces painting to its basic elements; but these elements interact in a myriad of complex manners.
