Cindy Sherman
\"Cindy Sherman is one of the most influential and consistently original artists of our time. Masquerading as a myriad of characters in front of her own camera, Sherman creates invented personas and provocative tableaus that examine the construction of identity and the nature of representation. Her works speak to our increasingly image-saturated world, drawing on the unlimited supply of visual material provided by the mass media, pop culture, and art history. Whether portraying a career girl or a blond bombshell, a fashion victim or a clown, a French aristocrat or a society lady of a certain age, Sherman's work has always had the ability to reflect the ideas of the culture at large and to resonate with a wide audience. Cindy Sherman presents the most up-to-date overview of her groundbreaking career, from the mid-1970s to the present, and provides new insight into the work of this relentlessly innovative artist.\"--Publisher's website.

ON DEFIANCE: Experimentation as resistance
Photography is now our lingua franca--the dominant medium of our image-saturated era. Despite exhibitions to further the visibility of women artists, many museums have fallen short of presenting balanced and diverse programs. This century has witnessed a boom of women artists investigating the possibilities of the photographic medium in new and exciting ways. Driven by a profound engagement with the medium, these artists have created a dynamic domain for experimentation that has taken contemporary photography by storm. Can working against photographic convention, in a medium that is still sometimes considered other, be viewed as an act of defiance?

Art in the age of the internet : 1989 to today
Featuring essays by leading curators, scholars, and critics, this book provides an in-depth look at how the internet has impacted visual art over the past three decades. From the fall of the Berlin Wall to Black Lives Matter, the internet's promise to foster communication across borders and democratize information has evolved alongside its rapidly developing technologies. While it has introduced radical changes to how art is made, disseminated, and perceived, the internet has also inspired artists to create inventive and powerful work that addresses new conceptions of community and identity, modes of surveillance, and tactics for resistance. Art in the Age of the Internet, 1989 to Today traces the relationship between internet culture and artistic practice through the work of contemporary artists such as Ed Atkins, Camille Henrot, and Anicka Yi, and looks back to pre-internet pioneers including Nam June Paik. Conversations between artists reveal how they have tackled similar issues using different technological tools. Touching on a variety of topics that range from emergent ideas of the body and human enhancement to the effects of digital modes of production on traditional media, and featuring more than 200 images of works including painting, performance, photography, sculpture, video, and web-based projects, this volume is packed with insightful revelations about how the internet has affected the trajectory of contemporary art.
Book
Huma Bhabha : they live
A comprehensive overview of more than two decades of Huma Bhabha's prolific and multidisciplinary output in sculpture, drawing, and photography. Huma Bhabha (b. 1962 in Karachi) is known for sculptures depicting the human figure fashioned from materials ranging from clay, brick, and wood to Styrofoam, bronze, found objects, and construction materials. Such works reveal her myriad influences, including horror films, science fiction, ancient artifacts, religious reliquaries, and Neo-Expressionism. This handsome volume surveys over two decades of Bhabha's innovative sculptures, as well as her lesser-known but essential work in drawing, photography, and printmaking, all while considering her singular engagement with the human figure. Illustrated essays investigate the artist's prolific and multidisciplinary output, her historical and cultural reference points, and her frequent themes, such as war, colonialism, displacement, and the memory of home-in the artist's words, these are \"eternal concerns\" found across all cultures. A conversation between Bhabha and American artist Sterling Ruby offers an intimate point of entry into Bhabha's perspectives and artistic practice.

Michele Abeles: Re:Re:Re:Re:Re
Michele Abeles is a graduate of Yale University's MFA photography program, the mecca for setup photography. Abeles worked as an assistant to another Yale alumna, Katy Grannan--and posed for her--and soon Abeles formulated her own visual language. She had been taking photographs of people, but became increasingly interested in making pictures that weren't portraits; she wanted to shed all the psychological associations that come with the genre. So she sought bodies that were somehow \"neutral,\" bodies that would function like the other props in her photographs-wine bottles, terracotta pots, newspapers, printed fabrics--artifacts that are familiar, timeless, even generic and bland. Here, Respini features the works of Abeles.
