Author: Verzutti, ErikaThis volume takes an expansive view of the bold & influential practice of Brazilian artist Erika Verzutti, surveying more than 60 pieces made over the past 15 years. In Verzutti’s art, moons recur as symbols of renewal & the multiple phases that a person or entity can pass through. Presenting original scholarship on the art historical & theoretical aspects of Verzutti’s practice as well as the artist’s own writing, this book offers insights on the inspiration & multifaceted ideas at play across her work. Her work presents novel modes of perception by orbiting outside set systems of being—zooming out, in a telescopic sense, to the point where the relations we take so seriously here on Earth can be rethought. Vibrant illustrations of individual works and installation views of 'New Moons', the artist’s first US museum survey, highlight how her approaches to display and presentation reveal such relationships.
