Produktbeschreibung
Walead Beshty is a carefully curated guide to key bodies of work by the acclaimed conceptual artist presented in collaboration with Thomas Dane Gallery in London, Turin and Naples. One of todayâEUR(TM)s leading conceptual artists, Los Angeles-based Walead Beshty (b. 1976, London) works across photography, sculpture and words. BeshtyâEUR(TM)s art is expansive and best described as an ongoing conversation, to which this monograph is his next articulation. Through a deconstructing lens, Walead Beshty explores every exhibition and project the artist has presented in collaboration with Thomas Dane Gallery in London, Turin and Naples. The monograph offers a guide to some of the artistâEUR(TM)s key bodies of work. Uncovering processes is central to BeshtyâEUR(TM)s art. He deliberately incorporated marks made by oxidation and human touch into his FedEx copper works and Copper Surrogate works, as well as photographing the many individuals involved in his exhibitions in Industrial Portraits. The work that has gone into this substantial new monograph, which features contributions from publisher Francis Atterbury, book designer Billie Temple and Thomas Dane partner Francois Chantala, is, quite literally, laid bare. Also presented is an insightful essay by leading professor of Juridical Sociology at Univer¬sity of Campania Luigi Vanvitelli, Carlo De Rita. Adopting a semiotic approach to books as âEUR¿not just a thing you hold, but something held in commonâEUR(TM), Walead Beshty embraces the archetypal format, tropes and conventions of a traditional âEUR" if unorthodox âEUR" book, employing printing and publishing practices seldom seen in contemporary bookmaking. It reflects on what an artistâEUR(TM)s monograph might represent as it explores the contingencies that allow art to function. Walead Beshty is itself another carefully curated exhibition of his work.
