Abstract

"Carrie Mae Weems is celebrated for her exploration of identity, power, desire and social justice through work that challenges representations of race, gender, and class. The largest presentation of the artist's multi-disciplinary work in the UK to date, this exhibition brings together photographs, films and installations spanning over three decades. Weems came to prominence in the early 1980s through photographic work that questioned how the representation of the Black subject, particularly within the US, has historically reproduced systemic racism and inequality. The exhibition captures the performative and cinematic nature of her practice, from the iconic Kitchen Table Series (1990) to the epic film installation The Shape of Things (2021) focusing on the history of violence in the United States" -- "POWER, DESIRE, SOCIAL JUSTICE, REPRESENTATION, BEAUTY, AND COMPASSION Widely considered to be one of the most influential American living artists, Carrie Mae Weems has developed a practice celebrated for her exploration of cultural identity, power dynamics, desire, intimacy and social justice through a body of work that challenges the prevailing representations of race, gender, and class. Defined by the use of photography, installation, film, performance and textile, her remarkably diverse and radical practice questions dominant ideologies and historical narratives created and disseminated within science, architecture, and mass media. Published in the context of her solo exhibitions at Barbican Art Gallery London and Kunstmuseum Basel, this book brings together a selection of Weems' own writings, lectures, and conversations for the first time, providing personal insights into themes such as the consequences of power, artistic appropriation, music as inspiration, history-making, and the normative role of architecture"--

Abstract

This volume for the first time examines the women in and around Duchamp's life and work, focusing on contacts and convergences from Duchamp's youth up until his death in 1968. Some of the women gathered here were central figures in early twenty-century modernism, while others were part of fascinating intellectual and artistc networks that were, until now, in need of discovery. "Duchamp and the Women" introduces readers to the cultural circles and artistic movements in which the women presented were active and played a formative role. In addition to chronologically-grouped short biographies, comprehensive essays by Renate Wiehager and Katharina Neuburger—supplemented by a guest contribution from the literary scholar Sandro Zanetti—trace the paths of these protagonists as leading figures of early modernism and spokeswomen of a qualitatively new feminism. These essays deal with: Louise Arensberg (1879–1953), Gabrielle Buffet-Picabia (1881–1985) Katherine S. Dreier (1877–1952), Suzanne Duchamp (1889–1963), Elsa von Freytag-Loringhoven (1874–1927), Peggy Guggenheim (1898–1979), Mina Loy (1882–1966), Maria Martins (1894–1973), Mary Reynolds (1891–1950), Rrose Sélavy (“created” in 1920), Gertrude Stein (1874–1946), Carrie, Ettie, and Florine Stettheimer (1870–1944), and Beatrice Wood (1893–1998). Original texts by and about the women, some of which appear here for the first time in German and English, broaden the scope of the book by incorporating contemporary historical voices. A comprehensive bibliography also provides researchers from various fields with an important basis for further investigations into the lives and works of the people gathered in Duchamp and the Women—including Duchamp himself.
