Shezad Dawood: Skin of Dreams (el. knyga) (skaityta knyga) | knygos.lt

Aprašymas

Skin of Dreams is the first comprehensive monograph on the work of Shezad Dawood and accompanies his first mid-career retrospective. The monograph draws out the connections between the various strands of the artist's practice, centring two major avenues: Modernist Architecture in the Global South and Ecology. Featuring a key essay by exhibition curator Jessica Cerasi taking an in-depth look at Dawood's painting practice, additional essays by Nicolas Bourriaud and Reem Fadda are complemented by an interview between the artist and Zoé Whitley, giving an in-depth and timely overview of the artist's life and work. The monograph is designed by Fraser Muggeridge studio, in collaboration with the artist's studio, and includes a List of Exhibited Works and a Timeline of the artist's practice for the first time. Shezad Dawood's 25-year career spans painting, textiles, sculpture, ceramics, film, performance and digital media. Fascinated by ecologies and architecture, his work connects art, science, music, environmentalism and technology to explore both alternative histories and futures, through a process of continuous world-building expressed as an explosion of colour and multi-layered narratives.
