  Liz Ward: The Present of Past Things [Perspectives 110]

The catalogue accompanied the artist's first one-person museum exhibition and focused around a new series of paintings, watercolors, etchings and silverpoint drawings—made since 1994—for which natural science and memory are the inspiration. The work is abstract and poetic, seducing the viewer by its sheer visual beauty. Includes an essay by Lynn M. Herbert; documentation on the artist’s career

1998. 20 pages, 10 black-and-white reproductions. ISBN-936080-45-0 $2.00


  Carrie Mae Weems: The Kitchen Table Series [Perspectives 96]

The publication accompanied an installation of the artist's seminal photographic representations of the verbal and visual details associated with this most mundane of domestic rooms. The installation included photographs by and of the artist herself and focused around the use of folk wisdom, blues, lyrics and slang to tell the story of one woman's struggle with love and the balance of male/female power in contemporary life. Includes an essay by Dana Friis-Hansen, documentation on the artist’s career.

  When 1 is 2: The Art of Alighiero e Boetti

Alighiero Boetti’s work was centered on his belief in the artist’s dual role as a “shaman/showman.” In the early 1970s, he renamed himself as a dual persona “Alighiero and Boetti,” reflecting the opposing factors presented in his work—the individual and society, error and perfection, order and disorder. Primarily associated with the group of conceptual artists based in Italy known as Arte Povera, the artist used a broad range of media over the course of his career. The exhibition and catalogue present work from the late 1960s until his death in 1994. Includes essays by Paola Morsiani and Barry Schwabsky, an interview with the artist by Achille Bonito Oliva, selected texts by Alighiero Boetti; documentation on the artist’s career.

  Perspectives 148: Su-en Wong

Perspectives 149: Su-En Wong was published in conjunction with the Texas museum debut of New York painter Su-En Wong, which featured a number of the artist’s large-scale works. The Singapore-born artist creates hyper-stylized self-portraits that play, pose, and preen against monochromatic backdrops of saturated color. The childish games they evoke recall the uniformed world of the Chinese Catholic girls’ school of Wong’s youth and her shifting psychological experience as an Asian female in America responding to the presumptions and objectifications that stem from her gender and ethnicity. Includes an essay by Valerie Cassel Oliver; documentation on the artist’s career.

2005. 13 pages. Paperback. 6 black-and-white reproductions. ISBN 0-936080-96-5. $2.00
