Uh-oh
This generously illustrated book offers the first comprehensive overview of the work of the Los Angeles-based interdisciplinary artist Francis Stark. Frances Stark deftly deploys text, image, and literary sources in her drawings, collages, paintings, and video works that reflect on her roles as artist, mother, woman, and teacher. Throughout her career she has experimented with alternative modes of expression, as in her critically acclaimed video My Best Thing; her PowerPoint work Structures that fit my opening (and other parts considered in relation to their whole); and the performance Put a Song in Your Thing. Companion to an exhibition that documents Stark's 25-year long career, this book ...

Frances Stark Collected Writing
Edited by Lisa Panting. Introduction by Matthew Higgs.
Frances Stark
Addresses the paradox of reproducing works which are non-photogenic - because of their tactility and detail, and because of their scale, complicated by small text that is de-contextualised by the small page format.
Frances Stark
Los Angeles-based artist and writer Frances Stark (born 1967) addresses the doubts and anxieties of creative labor, in self-portraits that she elaborates into cross-disciplinary explorations of language as both subject matter and material. The elliptical, digressive style that typifies her writing is echoed in the experience of her installations, in which themes emerge across brief citations from pop music and literature. Interlinked works, often hand-drawn, or hand-inscribed, are executed with a formal vulnerability and fluency of composition that affirms the observation posed in this volume's title: This Could Become a Gimick [sic] or An Honest Articulation of the Workings of the Mind. This anthology offers a selection of the Los Angeles-based artist's writings from 1997 to 2010, including important out-of-print and hard-to-find texts.

This intimate publication focuses on Frances Stark's pivotal feature length video My Best Thing, (premiered at the 54th Venice Biennale in 2011) a digital video animation, which traces the development of two sexual encounters that progress into conversations about film, literature, art, collaboration and subjectivity.British curator Mark Godfrey captures the density of this recent work by Stark with an in-depth essay considering the artist's use of online sex-chat rooms as vehicles for her creative process.In conveying the complexity of her interests Stark manages to imbue these commonly disparaged internet sites, as well as their users, with positive, productive and social characteristics. In Stark's depiction, as Godfrey states, 'Strangers meet, communicate, share ideas rather than brand preferences, and change how each one sees the world.' Published on the occasion of the exhibition Frances Stark: My Best Thing at Walter Phillips Gallery, Banff (24 September - 11 December 2011), and Contemporary Art Gallery, Vancouver (3 February - 8 April 2012).
