Synopsis

lapses in Thinking By the person i Am presents documentation and texts from Josephine Pyde's eponymous exhibition shown at the CCA Wattis Institute for Contemporary Arts, San Francisco, and Institute of Contemporary Art at the University of Pennsylvania. In this body of work, Pryde combines a series of color photographs of hands touching objects with a scale-model freight train and track, replete with miniaturized graffiti, that took visitors in a short ride through the exhibition. Through photography and sculpture, Pryde pays close attention to the nature of image making and the conditions display, subtly reworking codes and conventions to alter our cultural perception and understanding of each. In this book, “The Individual,” an essay by Pryde originally published in the journal Texte zur Kunst, is followed by an essay from CCA Wattis exhibition curator Jamie Stevens and a conversation between Pryde and ICA curator Anthony Elms.

About this title

About the Author

Au travers d'une pratique qui embrasse l'ensemble des genres et des techniques de la photographie historique et contemporaine, mais qui emprunte aussi à la sculpture et à l'écriture, Josephine Pryde (née en 1967 à Alnwick, Northumberland, Angleterre, vit et travaille à Londres et à Berlin) développe un propos incisif, parfois ironique et provocateur, sur les conventions, les valeurs, les hiérarchies et les économies qui sous-tendent le champ de l'art contemporain, dans le contexte de changements sociétaux plus larges, avec un rapport ambivalent au familier et au commun, des choix faussement ingénus des sujets, des propositions formelles insolites et des juxtapositions inattendues.
