Since the late 1970s Nicosia has staged and constructed sets objects and situations to be photographed rather than to reproduce something that already exists. These conceptual fabrications have ranged from elaborate sets with live actors to dioramas and abstract constructions. Whether his pictures contain a disturbing suburban narrative or are fabricated by the act of drawing or are simply created by the use of common objects with dramatic lighting the familiar thread of Nicosia's unique vision and sensibility is always present. Nic Nicosia is the first major publication of the artist's work and covers his entire oeuvre through 2011. The catalog presents images from all of Nicosia's major photographic series including Domestic Dramas Near modern Disasters The Cast Life as We Know It Real Pictures Love Lust Acts Sex Acts Untitled Landscapes 365 SaFe Days Untitled drawing Space Time Light I See Light and in the absence of others as well as stills from the videos Middletown Moving Picture Middletown Morning Cerchi E Quadratti On Acting America and 9 1/2 Hours to SaFe. Accompanying the catalog is an overview of Nicosia's career by Michelle White an interview with the artist by Sue Graze and an original short story by Philipp Meyer that powerfully resonates with the sense of wonder and menace in Nicosia's art."-- "With lavish illustrations and an original short story by Philipp Meyer this is the first major career retrospective of photographer and filmmaker Nicosia"-- OCLC.

The work is the result of a tremendous outpouring of work talent passion and the willingness to push for change. The final line of the forward to Your House is Mine reads "We have taken this opportunity to unite the following people in this collaborative project as a statement of 'art as a means of resistance.'" That statement continues to drive and define the work of Bulletspace. "A majority of our politicians and elected officials no longer do their appointed jobs. They don't protect our health safety well being or quality of life in any substantial way. As engaged citizens we have to step up as the muckrakers of the early 20th century such as Ida Tarbell and Upton Sinclair exposed the excesses of the nascent oil industry and the brutish destructive power of monopolies."

1952Best.-Nr. 140944939San Francisco: Acme Publishing Co 1952. First Edition. Near Fine. First edition first printing. A fantastic association copy signed by Sue Bailey Thurman in the year of publication and warmly inscribed "For Alfred G. Fisk native son and pioneer for whom I am indebted for my deep love of California." Alfred G. Fisk was the catalyst for Sue Bailey Thurman's time spent living in California. Fisk a white philosophy professor at San Francisco City College now SF State and a local Presbyterian minister started to meet with colleagues to discuss how they could best bridge the divide "of understanding among the varied races cultures and faiths presented in American society." He envisioned a church where both black and white could pray together seamlessly as equals and reached out to Sue Bailey Thurman's husband Howard a Black theologian who was the Dean of Chapel at Howard University in Washington D.C. Fisk asked if Thurman could recommend a student or colleague for a co-pastor role at the church he was envisioning. "We don't want the church to be in any sense run by whites 'for' Negroes" Fisk wrote to Howard Thurman on Oct. 15 1943. "It should be of and by and for both groups. . We are committed to a real equality between the races in all aspects of church organization" Fisk continued. "The boards of the church the choir the Sunday School and its staff will all be of mixed character. The co-pastors will have absolutely equal status and will alternate Sundays in preaching and in taking other parts of the service." Ultimately it was Howard himself who filled that role as preacher at what would be called The Church For the Fellowship of All Peoples. And it was with his prominence that the church quickly gained popularity and even gained members from afar who couldn't attend services including former First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt. While in San Francisco Sue Bailey Thurman led the church's Intercultural Committee and co-led a delegation to one of the earliest UNESCO conferences convened in Paris in 1949.
