Paul McCarthy's career can be described as a movement from liquids to solids. The artist's early performance-based work — which found him smearing all manner of foodstuffs and paint over his naked body — has since given way to large-scale installations and sculptures that are no less disturbing in their uncanny blend of kitsch and abjection. Low Life Slow Life: Part 2 continues in the same vein as McCarthy's earlier exhibit at CCA's Wattis Institute: a catalog of some of the artist's "favorite things" (made by the likes of Walt Disney, Dennis Oppenheim, Lil Picard, and others) that have impacted his work since the 1970s.
