Languages : en
Pages : 24
Book Description
Go to Hell or Atlanta, Whichever Comes First is a special printed project created by the celebrated American artist Kara Walker in collaboration with Ari Marcopoulos.The project, which comprises a twenty-four-page booklet with an accordion cover, was produced to accompany Walker's first exhibition at Victoria Miro, London, in autumn 2015.The project documents a trip by the artist and Marcopoulos to Stone Mountain in Georgia. The main tourist attraction there is a large stone mountain into which has been carved a monument to three Confederate generals.Consecrated in the 1970s, the monument, and hence the mountain itself, is thus a contentious symbol of white supremacy and the struggle for race equality in the South and beyond.Featuring a newly commissioned text from James Hannaham and a conversation between Walker and Marcopoulos, the project presents photographic documentation along with a selection of the powerful drawings and paintings produced by Walker during and following her trip.

Pages : 0
Book Description
Made in L.A. 2020: a version brings together an intergenerational and interdisciplinary mix of artists, each of whom is contributing to L.A.'s vibrant art scene. Since its inception in 2012, the Hammer Museum's Made in L.A. biennial has brought together local artists from a wide range of discipline. Under the direction of co-curators Myriam Ben Salah and Lauren Mackler, the 2020 iteration will be no exception. The Hammer's Ikechukwu Onyewuenyi, who has previously served with Performa and The Kitchen in New York, will assist in the organization of the 2020 biennial in the role of assistant curator for performance. Drawing inspiration from historical artist magazines, this book is not documentation of the artists' work, but rather serves as an additional venue for the exhibition. It includes images of the artists' studios, art made specifically for the pages of the book, as well as essays and conversations between artists and curators that weave together the conceptual through-lines of the show. This book is published in two different covers. Published with the Hammer Museum
