Rachel Kneebone (born 1973, Oxfordshire) is a London-based artist
internationally renowned for her porcelain sculptures that
intricately fuse human, natural and abstract forms to explore
universal themes such as sexual desire, mortality, anguish and
despair. Launched in anticipation of '399 Days', Kneebone's latest
presentation at White Cube, London, in summer 2014, this
publication features works from Kneebone's acclaimed solo
exhibition at Brooklyn Museum in 2012, which included eight of the
artist's works in dialogue with fifteen bronze sculptures by
Auguste Rodin. Featuring a foreword by Catherine Morris and a text
by Ali Smith, this beautifully designed and produced hardback
publication contains over fifty colour reproductions and has been
developed with support from Brooklyn Museum.
Lucy R. Lippard's famous book, itself resembling an exhibition, is
now brought full circle in an exhibition (and catalog) resembling
her book. "Conceptual art, for me, means work in which the idea is
paramount and the material form is secondary, lightweight,
ephemeral, cheap, unpretentious and/or 'dematerialized.'" -Lucy R.
Lippard, Six Years In 1973 the critic and curator Lucy R. Lippard
published Six Years, a book with possibly the longest subtitle in
the bibliography of art: The dematerialization of the art object
from 1966 to 1972: a cross-reference book of information on some
esthetic boundaries: consisting of a bibliography into which are
inserted a fragmented text, art works, documents, interviews, and
symposia, arranged chronologically and focused on so-called
conceptual or information or idea art with mentions of such vaguely
designated areas as minimal, anti-form, systems, earth, or process
art, occurring now in the Americas, Europe, England, Australia, and
Asia (with occasional political overtones) edited and annotated by
Lucy R. Lippard. Six Years, sometimes referred to as a conceptual
art object itself, not only described and embodied the new type of
art-making that Lippard was intent on identifying and cataloging,
it also exemplified a new way of criticizing and curating art.
Nearly forty years later, the Brooklyn Museum takes Lippard's
celebrated experiment in curated concatenation as a template,
turning a book that resembled an exhibition into an exhibition
materializing the ideas in her book. The artworks and essays
featured in this publication recall the thrill that was tangible in
Lippard's original documentation, reminding us that during the late
sixties and early seventies all possible social and material
parameters of art (making) were played with, worked over, inverted,
reduced, expanded, and rejected. By tracing Lippard's own
activities in those years, the book also documents the early
blurring of boundaries among critical, curatorial, and artistic
practices. With more than 200 images of work by dozens of artists
(printed in color throughout), this book brings Lippard's
curatorial experiment full circle.
Wilhelmina Under the Stairs is a middle-grade novel with a grade 4
reading level that lends itself to group readings as well as
individual. The colorful illustrations encourage the listeners and
readers to use their imaginations as they move through this
delightful story which grew from the author's experience at their
weekend home near Lexington, Virginia and her love of classic
animal tales. Although a number of animal adventure stories feature
mice as main characters this story, with its focus on rats, is just
different enough to intrigue young readers, especially girls
between ages 6 and 10. Along with the exciting, suspenseful plot,
Wilhelmina Under the Stairs explores the universal issues of
gaining independence, finding one's place in the world, developing
friendships and romantic relationships, and learning the value of
family and community.
