Theresa Weber: Ambiguous Territories, Gebunden

Klappentext

The first ever monograph on artist Theresa Weber featuring her relief paintings, hanging sculptures, and other genre-defining work.

Theresa Weber's multimedia installations, pictures, and collaborative performances challenge existing power hierarchies and entrenched categorizations. Based on site-specific historical research and ancient mythologies, she develops collages of culturally fraught materials. Her perspective as a German-born artist with a Jamaican, German, and Greek family background shapes her creative approach, which revolves around continual transformation within diasporic traditions, with special reference to Caribbean discourses. Operating in the dynamic field between transparency and opacity, Weber's practice employs nuance and fragility to create space for strength and resilience. Ambiguous Territories is Weber's first monograph and presents her work of the past three years. It includes essays by Dorothy Price, Kira Dell, and Laura Seidel, and a conversation between the artist and Julia Grosse.
