Writing in Space, 1973-2019 gathers the writings of conceptual
artist Lorraine O'Grady, who for over forty years has investigated
the complicated relationship between text and image. A firsthand
account of O'Grady's wide-ranging practice, this volume contains
statements, scripts, and previously unpublished notes charting the
development of her performance work and conceptual photography; her
art and music criticism that appeared in the Village Voice and
Artforum; critical and theoretical essays on art and culture,
including her classic "Olympia's Maid"; and interviews in which
O'Grady maps, expands, and complicates the intellectual terrain of
her work. She examines issues ranging from black female
subjectivity to diaspora and race and representation in
contemporary art, exploring both their personal and their
institutional implications. O'Grady's writings-introduced in this
collection by critic and curator Aruna D'Souza-offer a unique
window into her artistic and intellectual evolution while
consistently plumbing the political possibilities of art.

Influenced by artists such as Cindy Sherman, Lake's work
demonstrates the innovation and continued influence of the
'Feminist Avant-Garde' movement on contemporary art today. Lake's
work forms part of the public collection at the Albright Knox Art
Gallery, Buffalo, NY as well as within numerous museums and
galleries across Canada. Her work has been exhibited widely,
including in the US at Jack Shainman Gallery, New York; Los Angeles
Museum of Contemporary Art; Geffen Contemporary, Los Angeles;
National Museum of Women in Art, DC and Santa Monica Museum of Art,
California. This multi-author publication considers how Lake's
ideas and practice developed over time from her hometown of Detroit
to Montreal to Toronto, informed by the cultural character of each
city. Featuring celebrated works as well as newly commissioned
series, Introducing Suzy Lake reveals the richness and originality
of her accomplishments as one of North America's most influential
artists working today.
