Product Information
The first publication in an exciting new series for the 21st century, Autobiography is designed as a 'portable exhibition' based on a subject of central importance to art and everyday life. Barbara Steiner and Jun Yang, two 'author-creators' selected from the world's leading artists, curators and critics, have chosen a variety of material with which to produce a 'show' organized into themed 'rooms' - here Alter Ego, Disappearance, Facts, Authenticity, Hybrids, Race, Political Systems, Media and Self-Reflection. Informative texts accompany the work of each artist and extracted quotes, whether from novels, poems or interviews, offer further illuminating perspectives. Each title in the series also contains a lively discussion in which writers, curators, artists and others discuss the topic of the book. This groundbreaking publication, whether through Cindy Sherman's carefully staged 'self-portraits', Andy Warhol's Polaroids or Tracey Emin's rumpled bed, explores the changing role of the individual in modern society and expands our understanding of what it means to be alive today.Product Identifiers
