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.
