Speaking Out of Turn
Speaking Out of Turn is the first monograph dedicated to the forty-year oeuvre of feminist conceptual artist Lorraine O’Grady. Examining O’Grady’s use of language, both written and spoken, Stephanie Sparling Williams charts the artist’s strategic use of direct address—the dialectic posture her art takes in relationship to its viewers—to trouble the field of vision and claim a voice in the late 1970s through the 1990s, when her voice was seen as “out of turn” in the art world. Speaking Out of Turn situates O’Grady’s significant contributions within the history of American conceptualism and performance art while also attending to the work’s heightened visibility in the contemporary moment, revealing both the marginalization of O’Grady in the past and an urgent need to revisit her art in the present.

Controversial Monuments and Memorials
Out of the chaos and pain of Charlottesville, museum professionals, public historians, and community leaders must move quickly to face the challenges of competing historical memory, claims of heritage desecration and the ongoing scourge of racism. This book takes on the tough issues that communities across America---and analogous locales overseas---must face as white supremacy, political quagmires and visions of reconciliation with the past collide. The events of summer of 2017 that culminated in Charlottesville are outgrowths of ongoing dialogues and disputes about controversial history that encompass numerous historical situations and touch every part of US history. Strategies for working ...

Sandfuture
An account of the life and work of the architect Minoru Yamasaki that leads the author to consider how (and for whom) architectural history is written. Sandfuture is a book about the life of the architect Minoru Yamasaki (1912–1986), who remains on the margins of history despite the enormous influence of his work on American architecture and society. That Yamasaki’s most famous projects—the Pruitt-Igoe apartments in St. Louis and the original World Trade Center in New York—were both destroyed on national television, thirty years apart, makes his relative obscurity all the more remarkable. Sandfuture is also a book about an artist interrogating art and architecture’s role in culture...
예술가의 해법
문제를 바로잡는 우아한 관찰주의자 전작 《우아한 관찰주의자》에서 예술 작품을 통해 우리의 지각과 시각지능을 단련하는 법을 소개하여 큰 호응을 얻었던 저자 에이미 허먼이 이번 책 《예술가의 해법》에서는 예술 작품을 통해 우리가 날마다 부딪히는 문제의 해법을 찾는 데 도움이 되는 새로운 방법을 제시한다. 예술가가 작품을 창작하는 과정, 작품을 통해 전달하려는 메시지, 예술가의 의도와는 별개로 관람자의 현재 상황, 세계관, 주어진 문제에 따라 각기 다르게 해석하는 과정에 주목한다. 문제의 해결책을 찾는 인식의 변화를 실증적으로 보여주는 저자는 우리에게 세상을 다르게 보는 법을 가르쳐주며 예술을 통해 우리의 기본 사고에 도전하고 평소에는 간과한 가능성을 열어준다. 문제는 언제든 생길 수 있다. 중요한 것은 문제를 바로잡기 위해 무엇을 하느냐이다. 예술은 우리가 모르던 우리 안의 감춰진 진실을 드러내 줄 수 있다.

Mounting Frustration
In Mounting Frustration Susan E. Cahan uncovers the moment when the civil rights movement reached New York City's elite art galleries. Focusing on three controversial exhibitions that integrated African American culture and art, Cahan shows how the art world's racial politics is far more complicated than overcoming past exclusions.
