Jacob Proctor – författare

Multimedia artist with a unique voice Over the past two decades, Lisa Oppenheim has developed a critically acclaimed practice that is deeply rooted in the field of photography while also constantly exploring its margins. She often focuses on the unexplored potential of the medium's artistic, technological, and sociopolitical histories. Combining material experimentation with archival research, Oppenheim transforms— or, in her words, “reprocesses”—images and ideas both recent and historical by employing creative mechanisms ranging from a host of photographic processes to other media such as textiles, film and video, and, most recently, sculpture. Published in conjunction with her exhibition Monsieur Steichen at MUDAM Luxembourg, this richly illustrated catalogue surveys Oppenheim's works from the past dozen years, and includes new texts by Darsie Alexander, Christophe Gallois, Jacob Proctor, and Bettina Steinbrügge, as well as a conversation between Lisa Oppenheim and artist Liz Deschenes.

Experience what could have been! Best Laid Plans delves into the wealth of unrealized artist projects documented in the collections of the Archives of American Art: unrealized artworks, publications, exhibitions, and other creative ventures that, for a variety of reasons, were planned but not brought to completion.Best Laid Plans highlights rarely exhibited or published works that have survived and are documented thanks to the Archives of American Art. The publication draws from the vast collection of the Archives and introduces the reader to little-known or even unknown projects by influential artists and thinkers. By focusing exclusively on unrealized projects, the book offers an unconventional approach and view into the creative process. Illustrated throughout, the publication will feature an essay by exhibition curator Jacob Proctor, alongside interviews with contemporary artists Matt Mullican, Paul Ramirez Jonas, and Jessica Stockholder.

Los Angeles–based artist and filmmaker Morgan Fisher first achieved widespread recognition in the late 1960s and 1970s for a body of experimental films that deconstructed the language of cinema, both as raw material and as a set of production methods and technical procedures. Since the late 1990s, Fisher has focused primarily on painting (and the painting’s environment), and this volume is published in conjunction with the first solo museum exhibition of his paintings in the U.S., at Aspen Art Museum. Containing interviews conducted with Fisher over a span of 25 years--conversations between Fisher and Walead Beshty, Yve-Alain Bois, Stuart Comer, Christophe Gallois and Jean-Philippe Antoine, Melissa Gronlund, William E. Jones, Scott MacDonald, Frances Stark and Christopher Williams--and featuring new work by Fisher conceived especially for the exhibition, this is an invaluable Morgan Fisher sourcebook.
