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.
