Bøger af Mickalene Thomas

"Co-organized by the Hayward Gallery, London, and The Broad, Los Angeles, and in partnership with the Barnes Foundation, Philadelphia, Mickalene Thomas: All About Love will be the first major international tour of this pioneering artist's work. Marking its debut at The Broad with over 80 works made by the artist over the last 20 years, the exhibition highlights how Thomas has mastered and innovated within several disciplines, from mixed-media painting and collage to installation and photography. The exhibition shares its title and several of its themes with the pivotal text by feminist author bell hooks, in which love is an active process rooted in healing, carving a path away from domination and towards collective liberation"-- Exhibition website.

This volume is the first to gather together Mickalene Thomas's various approaches to photography, including portraits, collages, Polaroids, and other processes. The book also includes a section entitled tête-à-tête which features a curated selection of images by artists who she considers to be an artistic community of influence—from Malick Sidibé to more contemporary artists such as Zanele Muholi and LaToya Ruby Frazier.
