Bøker av Constance M. Lewallen

"This book is a must-have for fans of Bruce Nauman and art enthusiasts of all kinds. It is comprehensive and insightful and provides an exceptionally nuanced close reading of some of the most physically innovative and psychologically intense American artworks of the mid-twentieth century."--Lawrence Rinder, Director and Chief Curator, University of California, Berkeley Art Museum and Pacific Film Archive "Imagine a world where, as Bruce Nauman put it, you 'try to balance and can't.' Anxiety and disorientation lurk around the corner. You panic. Helpless, you try to escape. Instead, read this book: its lucid essays show why and how Nauman's architectural installations exemplify the haunting alienation of our social life."--Anne M. Wagner, Professor Emerita of Modern and Contemporary Art, University of California, Berkeley

Tells the story of David Ireland's house, a rundown Victorian in the Mission District of San Francisco that the artist transformed into an environmental artwork, taking the detritus of his restoration labors as well as objects left behind by previous owners and refashioning them into sculptures.
