The first major publication to explore the work of Sonia Boyce, one
of Britain's most exciting contemporary artists, including her
newest and most ambitious work to date The British artist Sonia
Boyce (b. 1962) is celebrated for depicting intimate social
encounters that explore interpersonal dynamics in drawing,
photography, video, and installation, using images and sounds
captured during the participatory art events she initiates. Boyce's
immersive new exhibition for the British Council commission at La
Biennale di Venezia 2022 is her most ambitious to date-focussing on
collaborative play as a route to artistic innovation and the
importance of taking creative risks-both central tenets of Boyce's
exceptional artistic practice. Sonia Boyce: Feeling Her Way
captures the drama and scope of this multisensory work as it
unfolds throughout the British Pavilion. Boyce came to prominence
as a key figure in the British Black arts movement of the 1980s and
the authors' texts connect this astonishing new work with Boyce's
preceding works and her abiding interests and concerns. Published
in association with the British Council Exhibition Schedule: La
Biennale di Venezia (April 23-November 27, 2022)
A unique look at the visionary artist, educator and activist Ruth
Asawa (1926-2013). 'I state, without hesitation or reserve, that I
consider Ruth Asawa to be the most gifted, productive, and
originally inspired artist that I have ever known personally' R.
Buckminster Fuller, 1971 Although less known outside North America,
Japanese-American artist Ruth Asawa is an artist of vital
importance to modern art. Ruth Asawa: Citizen of the Universe,
which accompanies the first exhibition of Asawa's work to be staged
in public galleries in Europe, introduces European audiences to
both Asawa's powerful art - including her signature hanging
sculptures in looped and tied wire - and her pioneering education
practice. It positions her expansive ethos - her
self-identification as 'a citizen of the universe' and belief that
art education can be life enriching for everyone - as a catalyst
for creative forward-thinking in the 21st century. Focusing on a
dynamic and formative period in her life from 1945 to 1980, this
book gives readers a unique experience of the artist and her work,
exploring her legacy from a European perspective and positioning
her as an abstract sculptor crucial to American modernism. It is a
wonderful celebration of her holistic integration of art, education
and community engagement, through which she called for a
revolutionary and inclusive vision of art's role in society.
