"... this publication reflects on the artist's commissioned works that inaugurate the new Dia Chelsea, New York, which opened in April 2021. Her installation of kinetic light sculptures, Casters X-2 + Casters X3 (2021), and immersive film installation Ready Mix (2021) address the formation and depiction of landscapes and civic spaces, particularly those in the western United States. The publication's design, created in close consultation with the artist, is inspired by trade magazines Raven encountered during the production of these works. The inside cover, designed by the artist, features a collage of other forms of visual inspiration. Essays by Lucy R. Lippard, Alexis Lowry, and Raven contextualize the work and reflect on the fraught history and mythology of the Wild West. A conversation between the artist and the film's sound designer Deantoni Parks delves into their collaborative working process. Mónica de la Torre contributed a hybrid poetry-prose work in response to the commission." -- www.diaart.org (viewed December 16, 2021)

Chryssa & New York offers a timely reassessment of Greek-born artist Chryssa (Chryssa Vardea-Mavromichali, 1933?2013). Chryssa was a leading figure in the postwar New York art world and in the use of signage, text, and neon, yet her work, which bridges Pop, Conceptual, and Minimalist approaches to art making, remains under-recognized.00Focusing on the artist?s early career, in particular her time in New York from the 1950s to the 1970s, this book charts the emergence of her singular aesthetic, especially her formal innovations with neon, and culminates in the development of her monumental and rarely seen installation The Gates to Times Square (1964?66). Essays situate Chryssa?s art alongside that of other New York-based practitioners in the 1950s and 1960s, consider her work through the lenses of queer theory and the Greek diaspora, and uncover her crucial influence on light art today. Rounding out the volume, a conversation on the technical aspects of her practice and a comprehensive chronology make this the definitive publication on Chryssa for years to come.00Exhibition: Dia Chelsea, New York, USA (02.03. - 23.07.2023) / Menil Collection, Houston, USA (29.09.2023 - 10.03.2024) / Wrightwood 659, Chicago, USA (01.05. - 15.05.2024).
