Description
by Chiharu Shiota (Artist), Ralph Rugoff (Foreword by), Yung Ma (Text by (Art/Photo Books))
A petite, stunning showcase of Shiota's recent, never-before-published woven installations and drawing series
This compact, gorgeously produced clothbound monograph offers a striking visual and critical exploration of the work of the acclaimed Japanese artist Chiharu Shiota (born 1972), who works across sculpture, performance, drawing and installation. The artist is best known for her immersive, thread-based installations. These poetic environments--woven from vast networks of red, black or white yarn--have captivated audiences around the world, evoking themes of memory, absence and the body. Featuring a newly commissioned essay by curator Yung Ma and an in-depth interview with the artist by the novelist and poet Yoko Tawada, Threads of Life presents previously unpublished photographs of recent works. Foregrounding Shiota's woven installations through numerous full-bleed images, the volume also displays the artist's new series of drawings, spotlighting an underappreciated facet of her practice.
