In 2019, the Renaissance Society at the University of Chicago and
the Carpenter Center for the Visual Arts, Harvard University
co-organized an exhibition of a newly commissioned body of work by
the Canadian artist Liz Magor. The accompanying publication, Liz
Magor: BLOWOUT, is the artist's first US catalog in ten years, and
it features thorough photographic documentation of the new work,
commissioned texts by Mitch Speed and Sheila Heti, and a
conversation between the artist and curators Dan Byers and Solveig
Ovstebo. For more than four decades, Magor's practice has quietly
dramatized the relationships that develop among objects, and she
describes this body of work as "a collection of tiny and intense
narratives." Each written contribution responds in its own way to
Magor's new installations, which feature altered stuffed toys, bits
of paper, and rat skins--sculptural "agents," in the artist's
words--suspended in transparent Mylar box forms, and thirty-two
pairs of secondhand shoes, each displayed within its own box amidst
elaborate embellishments.
