This book provides a comprehensive overview of the fabric works
from the last two decades in the career of legendary artist Louise
Bourgeois. "I've always had a fascination with the needle," she
said, "the magic power of the needle. The needle is used to repair
damage. It's a claim to forgiveness." This body of work began when
the artist started incorporating clothes from all stages of her
life into her art, and later expanded to include a range of other
textiles such as bedlinen, handkerchiefs, tapestry, and
needlepoint. The fabric works mine the themes of identity and
sexuality, trauma and memory, guilt and reparation, and serve as
metaphors for emotional and psychological states. The catalog -
which accompanies the exhibition at the Hayward Gallery, London and
the Gropius Bau, Berlin - features works from numerous series,
including the monumental Cell installations, figurative sculptures,
and abstract drawings.

The official anthem of the European Union, heard at numerous
political, cultural and public sporting events, is the 'Ode to Joy'
melody from the last movement of Beethoven's Ninth Symphony, a true
'empty signifier' that can stand for anything," begins noted
theorist Slavoj Zizek in his essay for this well-designed artist's
book in which the American and Cuban Conceptual artist
collaborators Jennifer Allora and Guillermo Calzadilla present
their reflections on this ubiquitous masterwork. Modified classical
instruments, scribbled musical notations, Nazi concerts, historical
Turkish musical groups, the pope, Communist propaganda and other
archival images are used to great effect."
