A comprehensive overview of more than two decades of Huma Bhabha's
prolific and multidisciplinary output in sculpture, drawing, and
photography Huma Bhabha (b. 1962 in Karachi) is known for
sculptures depicting the human figure fashioned from materials
ranging from clay, brick, and wood to Styrofoam, bronze, found
objects, and construction materials. Such works reveal her myriad
influences, including horror films, science fiction, ancient
artifacts, religious reliquaries, and Neo-Expressionism. This
handsome volume surveys over two decades of Bhabha's innovative
sculptures, as well as her lesser-known but essential work in
drawing, photography, and printmaking, all while considering her
singular engagement with the human figure. Illustrated essays
investigate the artist's prolific and multidisciplinary output, her
historical and cultural reference points, and her frequent themes,
such as war, colonialism, displacement, and the memory of home-in
the artist's words, these are "eternal concerns" found across all
cultures. A conversation between Bhabha and American artist
Sterling Ruby offers an intimate point of entry into Bhabha's
perspectives and artistic practice. Published in association with
the Institute of Contemporary Art/Boston Exhibition Schedule:

Robert Heinecken (1931-2006) was a pioneer in the postwar Los
Angeles art scene who described himself as a para-photographer
because his work stood 'beside' or 'beyond' traditional ideas of
the medium. Published in conjunction with the first museum
exhibition of the artist's work since his death in 2006, this
publication covers four decades of his remarkable and unique
practice, from the early 1960s through the late 1990s, with special
emphasis on his early experimentations with technique and
materiality, which destabilized the very definition of photography.
Culling images from newspapers, magazine advertisements, and
television, Heinecken re-contextualized them through collage and
assemblage, double-sided photograms, photolithography and
re-photography. Although he was rarely behind the lens of a camera,
his photo-based works question the nature of photography and
radically redefine the perception of it as an artistic medium. As
the most comprehensive survey of Heinecken's oeuvre, this book sets
his work in the context of twentieth century history of
photographic experimentation and conceptual art. An illustrated
essay by conservator Jennifer Jae Gutierrez about the artist's
experimental techniques, which ranged from photograms to
photolithography to collage, contributes to the sparse scholarship
on Heinecken's working methods.
Insightful and interdisciplinary, this book considers the movement
of people around the world and how contemporary artists contribute
to our understanding of it In this timely volume, artists and
thinkers join in conversation around the topic of global migration,
examining both its cultural impact and the culture of migration
itself. Individual voices shed light on the societal
transformations related to migration and its representation in
21st-century art, offering diverse points of entry into this
massive phenomenon and its many manifestations. The featured
artworks range from painting, sculpture, and photography to
installation, video, and sound art, and their makers-including
Isaac Julien, Richard Mosse, Reena Saini Kallat, Yinka Shonibare
MBE, and Do Ho Suh, among many others-hail from around the world.
Texts by experts in political science, Latin American studies, and
human rights, as well as contemporary art, expand upon the
political, economic, and social contexts of migration and its
representation. The book also includes three conversations in which
artists discuss the complexity of making work about migration. Amid
worldwide tensions surrounding refugee crises and border security,
this publication provides a nuanced interpretation of the current
cultural moment. Intertwining themes of memory, home, activism, and
more, When Home Won't Let You Stay meditates on how art both shapes
and is shaped by the public discourse on migration. Published in
association with the Institute of Contemporary Art/Boston
