Nina Katchadourian: Curiouser accompanies the Blanton Museum's
mid-career survey of the work of Brooklyn-based artist Nina
Katchadourian, organized by Curator of Modern and Contemporary Art
Veronica Roberts. The book reveals the artist's humor, ingenuity,
and ability to unearth the creative potential that "lurks within
the mundane," to use her words. The diverse range of art it
highlights includes Mended Spiderwebs, a series of photographs
documenting the artist's attempts to weave red string into
dilapidated spiderwebs, and Under Pressure, a recent video that
Katchadourian took of herself lip-synching to David Bowie and
Freddie Mercury's duet using her mobile phone in the cramped
quarters of an airplane lavatory. We learn about art projects she
has made with the assistance not only of arachnids and rock stars,
but also United Nations translators, birdcall experts, librarians,
sports announcers, parking lot attendants, an accent elimination
coach, and even her own parents. This exhibition catalogue marks
the first significant publication on Katchadourian's work and
features essays by Jeffrey Kastner and Veronica Roberts, as well as
an interview between the artist and Stuart Horodner. In addition,
it includes Katchadourian's accounts of fourteen individual works
paired with creative essays from a multidisciplinary team of
contributors including artist Ann Hamilton, animal behavior expert
Laurel Braitman, and sound art scholar Christoph Cox. Through these
diverse perspectives, readers are introduced to Katchadourian's
unbridled curiosity and puckish wit.
