Jessica Stockholder - Yourskininthisweatherbourneeye-Threads&swollenperfume

This catalogue documents artist Jessica Stockholder's site-specific installation at the DIA Center for the Arts. Incorporating multifarious materials and textures, the installation transformed the 4000-square feet of the museum's ground floor gallery, constituting one of Stockholder's most impressive projects. Since the late 80s Stockholder has made a variety of site-specific installations which incorporate painting and sculpture and suggest architectural forms. She employs a diverse palette of found objects -- from plastic stacking crates, to carpets, to balls of brilliantly colored yarn -- in the weaving of complex structures in which objects and materials, color, texture, form, and space play off each other to memorable effect. This eye-popping and playful book also features two perceptive essays as well as a short piece by eminent avant-garde poet Ann Lauterbach.
