A history of women in 101 objects / by Hirsch, Annabelle,1986-author.(CARDINAL)890369; Updegraff, Eleanor,translator.(CARDINAL)888906;
Includes bibliographical references pages (409-413)."This is a neglected history. Not a sweeping, definitive, exhaustive history of the world but something quieter, more intimate and particular. A single journey, picked out in 101 objects, through the fascinating, too-often-overlooked, manifold histories of women. With engaging prose, compelling stories, and a beautiful full-page image of each object, Annabelle Hirsch curates a diverse compendium of women and their things, uncovering the thoughts and feelings at the heart of women's daily lives. The result is an intimate and lively alternative history of humans in the world. The objects date from prehistory to today and are assembled chronologically to show the evolution of how women were perceived by others, how they perceived themselves, how they fought for freedom. Some (like a 16th century glass dildo) are objects of female pleasure, some (a thumbscrew) of female subjugation. These are artifacts of women celebrated by history and of women unfairly forgotten by it. With variety and nuance, Hirsch cracks open the fissures of what we think we know to illuminate a much richer retelling: What do handprints on early cave paintings tell us about the role of women in hunting? What does a mobile phone have to do with femicides? Or Kim Kardashian's diamond ring with Elena Ferrante? Wide-ranging, subversive, witty, and superbly researched, this is a book that upends all our assumptions about, and presentations of, the past, proving it has always been as complicated and fascinating as the women that peopled it."--

Lifelike / by Engberg, Siri,author.(CARDINAL)226640; Lobel, Michael,contributor.(CARDINAL)266226; McElheny, Josiah,1966-contributor.(CARDINAL)782664; Steiner, Rochelle,contributor.(CARDINAL)227452; Walker Art Center,organizer,host institution.(CARDINAL)150439; New Orleans Museum of Art,host institution.(CARDINAL)149865; Museum of Contemporary Art, San Diego,host institution.(CARDINAL)217406; Blanton Museum of Art,host institution.(CARDINAL)282980;
Published on the occasion of the exhibition Lifelike, organized by Siri Engberg for the Walker Art Center, Minneapolis held at the Walker Art Center, Minneapolis, Feb. 25-May 27, 2012; New Orleans Museum of Art, Louisiana, Nov. 10-Jan. 27, 2013; Museum of Contemporary Art, San Diego, Feb. 24-May 26, 2013; and Blanton Museum of Art, University of Texas at Austin, June 23-Sept. 29, 2013.Includes bibliographical references.Is it real? Lifelike invites a close examination of art since the late 1960s based on commonplace objects and situations that are startlingly realistic, often playful and sometimes surreal--works that investigate the quieter side of the quotidian. While artists such as Vija Celmins, Rudolf Stingel and Paul Sietsema employ illusionistic painting and drawing, others' use of materials is surprising--Thomas Demand's video of what appears to be a rainstorm is made from animated candy wrappers; Susan Collis' sculpture of construction debris is fashioned from exotic hardwoods, mother of pearl and silver. What binds these artists together is their rejection of the easy route technology might offer in favor of labor-intensive fabrication. Featuring painting, sculpture, photography, drawing, video and installations by more than 40 artists, Lifelike is the first publication to address the recent history of artists using these strategies across media.
