{"product_id":"65456-carrie-mae-weems","title":"Carrie Mae Weems","description":"Carrie Mae Weems is one of the most important and influential contemporary artists in the USA and is known far beyond the art scene. Her work, created over more than four decades, revolves around the complex themes of cultural identity, structures of power, desire, intimacy, racism, and social justice. Weems questions the construction of race, gender, and class. She works with photography, video, performance, installation, and textiles, deconstructing dominant historical narratives that are shaped and perpetuated by science and education, architecture, and mass media. The publication was created in the context of exhibitions at the Barbican Art Gallery in London and the Kunstmuseum Basel and brings together, for the first time, a selection of the artist's writings, lectures, and conversations, which offer personal insights and demonstrate her engagement with the consequences of power, artistic appropriation, the significance of music as inspiration, historiography, and the normative role of architecture.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCARRIE MAE WEEMS (b. 1953, Portland, Oregon) studied photography and folklore studies at the University of California, Berkeley, after training in dance. In the early 1980s, she became known for her photographic works, in which she questioned the representation of Black people and people of color, including The Kitchen Table Series (1990), which tells the story of a woman's life in the intimate setting of her kitchen through a series of staged photographs. In 2014, Weems became the first African American artist to present a solo exhibition at the Guggenheim Museum in New York.","brand":"Hatje Cantz Verlag","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45526290628872,"sku":"9783775755559","price":30.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0582\/8948\/8049\/files\/odoo_9783775755559_52e3feb7-65ef-4fde-b658-a5cb687b064b.jpg?v=1744285513","url":"https:\/\/hatjecantz.de\/en\/products\/65456-carrie-mae-weems","provider":"Hatje Cantz Verlag","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
