Author: Garner, PippaPublished in conjunction with Garner’s first institutional exhibition in New York, this title features her previously unpublished writing, including personal accounts of her gender transition-as-performance, with texts by contemporaries and admirers including McKenzie Wark, Nayland Blake & Chip Lord. Featuring hundreds of never-before-published images of it brings into focus the artist’s singular approach to addressing the contradictions of commodity fetishism from the 1960s to today.Embracing pleasure, kink and the perversion of mass-produced products, Garner’s work imagines ways to restructure environments, everyday devices and conceptualisations of self. For much of her career, Garner has embedded her work in the world, often realising projects outside the confines of galleries or museums, continually challenging what is strictly defined as art. This richly illustrated publication underscores Garner as a provocative and indispensable voice of our time.ISBN 9781945711183.
