a slight cast down at the edges of the lips

A decade of probing the intersection of photography, text and performance

This publication marks the first occasion for the photographs and writings-for-performance of American artist Katherine Hubbard (born 1981) to exist on the same scale, that of the book. The volume showcases work from the last decade of Hubbard's prolific practice, which intertwines analog photography, writing and live performance. Reproductions of exhibited prints, a selection of new photographs and images created from within her performances are gathered here, along with four of the artist's original written works. a slight cast down at the edges of the lips includes an additional suite of new texts by writer Lynne Tillman, poet Mónica de la Torre and curator Elisabeth Sherman―all of whom respond to different aspects of Hubbard's practice. The volume concludes with an intimate conversation between the artist and fellow photographer Zoe Leonard, whose work Hubbard thinks through in the first of her own texts.
