Hardcover. Condition: Used - Like New. During their decade-long collaboration (1985-1995), Kate Ericson and MelZiegler produced some of the most influential conceptual art projects of the time.Among their witty and stimulating installations and outdoor projects was CamouflagedHistory, a house painted in a U.S. Army-designed camouflage pattern using 72commercial paint colors included in the municipally-approved 'authentic colors' ofhistoric Charleston, South Carolina. The commercial name of each paint, commemorating an aspect of the city's history, is also painted on the house, revealing and illuminating the lingering Civil War-era past of the region. Like theEarthwork pioneers, Ericson and Ziegler took the whole country as their workingspace; but rather than impose a conspicuous work of art upon a site or situation, they devised projects that altered sites subtly, creating a patchwork of poeticnarratives and histories to be excavated. The windows rescued from the old NationalLicorice factory in Philadelphia in the title piece America Starts Here--which takesits name from the slogan used to promote Pennsylvania tourism during the 1980s--arehung according to the location of the original windows in the factory; the cracks inthe glass echo the famous cracks in two of Philadelphia's tourist attractions, theLiberty Bell and Marcel Duchamp's The Large Glass.Kate Ericson's death from cancerin 1995 at age 39 made the body of Ericson and Ziegler's collaborative work finite.America Starts Here offers a generous selection of Ericson and Ziegler's work, withmuch of it reproduced in color, and provides a critical analysis of the artists'still under-appreciated position in the history of twentieth-century art. Itaccompanies the first retrospective exhibition of Ericson and Ziegler'swork.Copublished with The Frances Young Tang Teaching Museum at Skidmore College andList Visual Arts Center at MIT. Works by public art pioneers and collaborators Kate Ericson and Mel Ziegler, whose influential community-based interventions were marked by a poetic combination of conceptual and political ideas. Light shelf wear at back cover. Otherwise book is bright, clean, and crisp. Inside and binding are completely unworn.
