The Untold History of Immersive Art At the intersection of art,
architecture and design, environments create and transform space
into an immersive experience, inviting the audience to engage and
interact. So far, art history has been focused on the works of male
artists mostly from the US and Europe. Inside Other Spaces:
Environments by Women Artists 1956–1976 aims to signpost a
different narrative by highlighting women’s fundamental
contributions to this field. Redefining the canon, the exhibition
features 11 pioneering women artists from three generations,
spanning Asia, Europe, and the Americas, including Judy Chicago,
Aleksandra Kasuba, and Lygia Clark. Given the experimental nature
of such environ ments, many of these original works were
deconstructed or destroyed. The detailed reconstructions, which are
carried out with the help of restorers and based on archival
photographs, construction plans, and material lists, are presented
here for the first time. Conceived as a reference book for the
historiography of environments, the publication comprises a wealth
of visual material also on artists not featured in the show, such
as Yayoi Kusama and Yoko Ono, providing leading scholars’ essays
and extensive bibliographies on environments and individual
artists. FEATURED ARTISTS: Lygia Clark, Aleksandra Kasuba, Marta
Minujín, Maria Nordman,Faith Wilding, Tsuruko Yamazaki
Fujiko Nakaya is one of Japan’s most important contemporary
artists. Participating in the 1960s performances of the New
York-based collective Experiments in Arts and Technology (E.A.T.),
she became internationally renowned for her immersive fog artworks.
First created for the Pepsi Pavilion at Expo ’70 in Osaka they
defy traditional conventions of sculpture by generating temporary,
atmospheric transformations that physically engage with the public.
Driven by early ecological concerns, Nakaya’s ground-breaking
work is based purely on water and air—elements that have
particular significance in light of the climate crisis. From the
artist’s early paintings to her fog sculptures, single-channel
videos, installations and documentation that reveal Nakaya’s
cultural and social references, this in-depth survey offers a
comprehensive overview of the distinguished artist’s work.

A journey through the groundbreaking works of Bruce Nauman, one of
the most restlessly inventive contemporary artists of today. Since
the late 1960s Bruce Nauman has established a completely new
understanding of contemporary art, and has been acknowledged as one
of the most relevant artists of the twentieth century. Both the
last modern artist and because of his ceaseless experimental
approach to new media - the very first contemporary artist, Nauman
has is recognised for his landmark conceptual approach against
which much contemporary art of today can be measured. Focusing in
particular on his experiments with sound, the moving image and
immersive installations, this book features explorations of
Nauman's video works of the 1980s and 1990s, as well as on his
studio practice and more recent work, along with a revealing
in-depth conversation between the artist and Andrea Lissoni and
Nicholas Serota. This essential book reveals Bruce Nauman as an
artist who has uniquely blazed a trail in both the twentieth and
twenty-first centuries.
