"The Power of an Idea. A moment in time with Alfredo Jaar and Luis PŽrez-Oramas" offers a privileged window into the minds, shared explorations, and personal interactions of prolific Chilean conceptual artist Alfredo Jaar and his longtime friend, Venezuelan curator and poet Luis PŽrez-Oramas. Weaving their vast references of visual culture and the contemporary world into a substantial and nuanced critique, the authors contribute to the Colecci—n Patricia Phelps de CisnerosÕ ongoing project of publishing firsthand accounts of art and ideas from Latin America in this series of exchanges. The Power of an Idea uncovers the themes and challenges of JaarÕs lifelong artistic practice and a complex body of work that goes straight to the source: Òultimately, [É] condensing everything to that one question that affects us allÓ.

An art book with a storytelling narrative and the freshness of a long-form journalism piece, the contents of The Power of an Idea can be experienced as a continuing dialogue within the span of a decade, or randomly explored as four separate conversation essays over time. The volume includes stunning photographs and unpublished images from Alfredo JaarÕs archives, in a layout design inspired by the visual proposal of his oeuvre.

Holds up pretty well.
Color: Green Helix, Size: Medium
Holds up against my velociraptor! Much better than some of the other holey balls that get torn apart quickly. I think this is a great idea to reuse old shoe soles into toys for the heavy chewers like heelers. I would like to see a large ball like 10-12 inch diameter, so they can push and throw it around.

Molly loves her ball!
Color: Blue Helix, Size: Large
Soft and easily caught by a rambunctious Border Collie. She loves her ball and points to it with her nose when she's ready for another game of "ball". Easy to throw and easy to clean of slobbers!

Great Strong Chew Toy but not too Hard
Color: Red Pulse, Size: Medium
Great strong chew toy. It's very strong and does not tear apart like everything else. At the same time it is not hard plastic like the last brown one I ordered that could break my dog's teeth. My dog is a 2 yr old 14 lb Chi mix with a super strong bite. He tore all the stuffies up and even the nylon toy that was supposed to withstand a lot. This is the one toy that could outsmart him. I play fetch with him and it has a nice weird hop due it's shape so it keeps him interested and surprised. It's a bit heavier than other similar toys and I'm guessing bigger dogs would definitely like it too. I'm very pleased after buying so many others that were easily chewed up or too hard.
