Synopsis

Il volume è il catalogo della mostra di Torino (GAM, 18 maggio-3 luglio 2005), racconta la personalità artistica di Jessica Stockholder attraverso le sue opere. Si apre con le immagini della mostra alla GAM, per ripercorrere poi i lavori dell'artista dagli esordi negli anni ottanta fino ai più recenti: installazioni costituite dall'assemblaggio di materiali d'uso comune in cui gli oggetti perdono il loro significato e utilizzo in quanto tale, per diventare forme astratte di un'opera complessa. Due testi critici, di Giorgio Verzotti e Michel Gauthier, accompagnano le immagini per approfondire i temi dell'arte di Jessica.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

The series of catalogues published by hopefulmonster for GAM, Galleria Civica di Arte Moderna e Contemporanea in Torino, reserved for artists of the new generation, continues with a monography dedicated to Jessica Stockholder for the exhibition held at GAM from May 18th to July 3rd, 2005. The catalogue, that tells deeply about the artistic personality of the artist through his works, opens with the photographic documentation of the exhibition to tell then through the images the art of Stockholder from 1980's up to today, showing installations made by large found objects and paint. She assembles these objects to create new spaces and sculptures. Whether they are the size of small sculptures such as would fit in the corner of a room or huge installations occupying an entire space and even reserving the right to spill out of it the works of Jessica Stockholder all follow the one common principle of assembling objects and materials that on the face of it make the unlikeliest of bedfellows. (Michel Gauthier) Her work implicates personal experience, and the memory that refashions it. This is of course true of much contemporary art when, in its essentiality, it combats the alienation of the experience of a world that connaturalises the intimate truth of our real experience.(Giorgio Verzotti The book includes also two essays, by Giorgio Verzotti and Michel Gauthier.
