In 2019, the Renaissance Society at the University of Chicago and the Carpenter Center for the Visual Arts, Harvard University co-organized an exhibition of a newly commissioned body of work by the Canadian artist Liz Magor. The accompanying publication, Liz Magor: BLOWOUT, is the artist’s first US catalog in ten years, and it features thorough photographic documentation of the new work, commissioned texts by Mitch Speed and Sheila Heti, and a conversation between the artist and curators Dan Byers and Solveig Øvstebø.For more than four decades, Magor’s practice has quietly dramatized the relationships that develop among objects, and she describes this body of work as “a collection of tiny and intense narratives.” Each written contribution responds in its own way to Magor’s new installations, which feature altered stuffed toys, bits of paper, and rat skins—sculptural “agents,” in the artist’s words—suspended in transparent Mylar box forms, and thirty-two pairs of secondhand shoes, each displayed within its own box amidst elaborate embellishments.

Surreal, psychedelic riffs on domestic objects from a trailblazing feminist artist From her beginning in the mid-1960s through the early ’70s, German artist Anna Oppermann (1940–1993)—best known for her encyclopedic, immersive installations—created an astonishing series of surreal, almost psychedelic drawings that quietly explode the private space of the home, and her experience within it. These early drawings contribute to a feminist reentering of spheres traditionally associated with women, casting everyday objects as symbolic, consequential protagonists: houseplants sprawl to take over the picture plane, windows and mirrors provide views into other worlds and tables display drawings that themselves open out into new domestic scenes. By placing her own body—her knees, arms, the back of her head—as reference points in the work, Oppermann emphasizes the gendered realms of the home and the relationships that we form to our private spaces.This volume gathers these drawings and early installations in an English-language publication for the first time.

A copiously illustrated, sweeping overview of the beloved polymath’s life and careerPublished with Whitney Museum of American Art.Harry Smith (1923-91) was a painter, filmmaker, folklorist, musicologist and collector as well as a radical nonconformist whose work defies categorization. This volume accompanies the major exhibition on the art and life of Harry Smith co-organized by the Whitney Museum of American Art and the Carpenter Center at Harvard University. It is the first publication featuring extensive color illustrations of Smith’s visual art, films and collections. It contains biographical information alongside examinations of his work across mediums.The publication follows Smith from an isolated Depression-era childhood in the Pacific Northwest through his counterculture youth in postwar Berkeley, California. From there, it traces his path through bebop and experimental cinema in San Francisco, to his profoundly influential decades spent in New York City, where he was an essential part of the city's avant-garde. This volume is a critical read for fans of Harry Smith, as well as those interested in any of the many countercultures and art movements that he shaped.
