The first monograph on the influential contemporary Cuban–American interdisciplinary artist and writer Coco Fusco. Tomorrow, I will become an island is the first in-depth study of the performances, videos and social practice of the influential Cuban–American artist Coco Fusco. Featuring contributions by renowned scholars of art history, performance art and Cuban cultural politics as well as an essay by the artist herself, the book offers a comprehensive review of Fusco’s interdisciplinary art practice and her transnational perspective on race, gender and power. For more than three decades, Fusco has been a leader in conversations around the intersection of identity, feminism, culture, and politics in the Americas and beyond. Emerging during the 1980s as a pioneering advocate of multiculturalism in the arts, Fusco utilizes performance, video, exhibition making, archival research and writing to reflect upon the ways that intercultural relations and colonial histories shape the construction of the self and perceptions of cultural difference. Her work has critically examined society from a postcolonial perspective, engaging with debates about cultural politics throughout the Americas, Europe and elsewhere. This expansive approach is highlighted through a broad range of works that address themes including post-revolutionary Cuba, racial stereotypes, feminist politics, animal psychology, ethnographic displays, suppressed colonial records, military interrogation and sex tourism. The book will accompany an international touring retrospective of the artist’s work starting in 2023.
Since the late 1980s, Jim Hodges' poetic reconsiderations of the
material world have inspired a body of multimedia work in which the
manmade and artificial are invested with emotion and authenticity.
Co-published by the Dallas Museum of Art and the Walker Art Center,
this volume accompanies the first comprehensive, scholarly
exhibition to be organized in the United States of this critically
acclaimed American artist. Examining over 25 years of his artistic
career, this uniquely designed catalogue weaves together the voices
of many to situate the artist's work within issues of identity,
social activism, illness, beauty, generosity and death.
Contributions include an in-depth overview of Hodges' career by
Jeffrey Grove, Hoffman Family Senior Curator of Contemporary Art at
the Dallas Museum of Art; an essay and interview with the artist by
Olga Viso, Executive Director of the Walker Art Center; a
reflection on Hodges' early artistic development by Bill Arning,
Director of the Contemporary Arts Museum, Houston; an essay on
sentimentality and the artist's recent video work by Helen
Molesworth, Barbara Lee Chief Curator at the Institute of
Contemporary Art, Boston; as well as ruminations on recurring
motifs in the artist's work by author Susan Griffin.
Dolores Soldevilla Nieto was a passionate Cuban artist whose career blossomed in the 1950s. Following early professional turns, she emerged later in life as a prolific artist and fervent advocate for culture. She became Cuba's cultural attache to Europe, embarking on a path that would dramatically alter the course of her life and the discourse surrounding Cuban abstraction at mid-century. Residing in Paris, she studied in the ateliers of prominent European and American artists, and, after returning to Cuba, she played an active role as a vital link between the European avant-garde and the new voices of abstraction emerging throughout Latin America and Cuba. Lolo Soldevilla: Constructing Her Universe is the first monograph devoted to her remarkable achievements, providing compelling insight into the life and work of this exceptional artist.
