"It is often said that great things take time and after a twelve
year hiatus from publishing, renowned artist Swoon has returned
with the must-have monograph, THE RED SKEIN." — Quiet Lunch
In 224 pages, with more than 200 colour images, this book explores
the work of Caledonia Curry, also known as Swoon, and her aim “to
bring a human presence to the street in a delicate way”. Covering
her works on the street and in the studio, animation projects,
collaborations, museum installations and community-based projects,
The Red Skein is the most interesting and valuable collection of
the artist’s works. Of particular interest is “Persephone,
Medea, Hecate: Constructing a crossroads for art and
psychedelic-assisted therapy”, an intimate and moving text in
which Caledonia explains her background and what art means for her.
The in-depth book includes an introduction by bestselling author Dr
Gabor Mate, a Hungarian physician with huge expertise on a range of
topics including addiction, stress, and childhood development.
There are also essays by RJ Rushmore (one of the youngest and most
respected critics of street and graffiti art in the world), Melena
Ryzik (New York Times reporter who was part of a team that won a
Pulitzer Prize in 2018 for reporting on workplace sexual
harassment), Jerry Saltz (American art critic, senior art critic
for The Village Voice and columnist for New York magazine) and
Pedro Alonzo (Boston-based independent curator and Adjunct Curator
at Dallas Contemporary). Other contributors include Hans Ulrich
Obrist (director of Serpentine Gallery, Art curator, critic and
historian of art), Jeffrey Deitch (art dealer and curator, director
of the Moca 2010-2013) and Judy Chicago (feminist artist, art
educator and writer).
