Since the late 1980s, Jim Hodges' poetic reconsiderations of the
material world have inspired a body of multimedia work in which the
manmade and artificial are invested with emotion and authenticity.
Co-published by the Dallas Museum of Art and the Walker Art Center,
this volume accompanies the first comprehensive, scholarly
exhibition to be organized in the United States of this critically
acclaimed American artist. Examining over 25 years of his artistic
career, this uniquely designed catalogue weaves together the voices
of many to situate the artist's work within issues of identity,
social activism, illness, beauty, generosity and death.
Contributions include an in-depth overview of Hodges' career by
Jeffrey Grove, Hoffman Family Senior Curator of Contemporary Art at
the Dallas Museum of Art; an essay and interview with the artist by
Olga Viso, Executive Director of the Walker Art Center; a
reflection on Hodges' early artistic development by Bill Arning,
Director of the Contemporary Arts Museum, Houston; an essay on
sentimentality and the artist's recent video work by Helen
Molesworth, Barbara Lee Chief Curator at the Institute of
Contemporary Art, Boston; as well as ruminations on recurring
motifs in the artist's work by author Susan Griffin.
In 1914, Marcel Duchamp purchased a bottle rack, called it a sculpture, put his name to it and the "readymade" artwork was born. "It Is What It Is. Or Is It?" considers the legacy of the readymade in contemporary artistic practice as the form approaches its 100th anniversary and attempts to recuperate the radicality of Duchamp's foundational gesture. Taking stock of the readymade's simple materiality and its economy of means, this catalogue includes work by 18 artists working in a variety of media from sculpture to photography, painting, video and installation-based works. "It Is What It Is. Or Is It?" includes works by Ellen Altfest, Faycal Baghriche, Bill Bollinger, William Cordova, Latifa Echakhch, Daphne Fitzpatrick, Claire Fontaine, Felix Gonzalez-Torres, Rachel Hecker, Jamie Isenstein, Luis Jacob, Patrick Killoran, Jiri Kovanda, Klara Liden, Catherine Murphy and Pratchaya Phinthong.
