Includes bibliographical references."Los Angeles-based artist Candice Lin (b. 1979) investigates the legacies of colonialism, racism, and sexism by mapping the trade routes and histories of a range of colonial goods. Co-organized by the Walker Art Center and the Carpenter Center for the Visual Arts at Harvard University, Candice Lin: Seeping, Rotting, Resting, Weeping is composed of a site-specific installation that responds to the space of the gallery at each institution, allowing the shape of the work to evolve over the course of its presentation. Anchored by a nomadic tent structure - simultaneously a temporary shelter and a quasi-religious temple - the exhibition includes hand-drawn and hand-printed indigo textiles, hand-built ceramic sculptures, plaster and concrete "tactile theaters", and a video animation that leads visitors through qigong breathing and movement exercises. Cats abound in the gallery space. From ceramic cats found curled up inside the tent to the video's animated cat demon, the exhibition proposes an animist worldview - one that asks us to shift our focus from the human to the more-than-human world. Ultimately, Lin encourages us to question our present, reenvision our futures, and embrace new ways of knowing the world"--Exhibition website

Includes bibliographical references and index."The art world is white. In this volume, contributors from different disciplines and backgrounds discuss race, diversity, and inclusion through the lens of "saturation," in art and across institutions written large. The concept of saturation stems from color theory-for Isaac Newton, the centrality of the color white to his visual theory parallels an understanding of race as its periphery in Western thought. From visual saturation to oversaturation of the bodies of minorities as they have to navigate and exist within institutions, this volume employs saturation as a rubric to ask different questions and to push us to demand more from the ways institutions normatively function and how race has come to be imagined and understood. The essays and conversations are the result of a shared curiosity over why changes in representational practices (some at very early stages of saturation and others leading to oversaturation) have not led to any substantive structural change. Much of this book contends with political economy and racial capital to help grapple with institutional critique. Because of the need to center these questions in time and space, the book is organized in two major sections: 1) The Saturation of Institutional Life: Race, Globality, and the Art Market; and 2) Methods of Racial Matter and Saturation Points. This is the forth volume in the New Museum Critical Anthologies in Art and Culture series. It includes Sarah Haley's essay on the relationship between carceral landscapes and the gendered dimensions of racial capitalism, a conversation between philosophers Denise Ferreira da Silva and Phanuel Antwi moderated by coeditor C. Riley Snorton, about modes for thinking race transnationally and in terms of structures-material, poetic, and affective. In artist Candice Lin's chapter on aesthetics of colonization, she discusses how histories of colonial violence inform her artistic practice. Sarah Schulman highlights the dynamics of navigating the publishing industry as it relates to areas considered "niche" like sexuality, race, and gender. Performance and movement theorist Jasmine Elizabeth Johnson examines the corporeal, visual, and institutional structures that delimit the legibility of the black body, and artist Byron Kim contemplates his practices and methods as they relate to formalism that simultaneously is and is not "about" race"--

The Food of Southern Thailand / by Bush, Austin.(CARDINAL)355411; Lin, Candice (ILT);
Austin Bush has spent decades traveling across Thailand, collecting recipes, observing cooking techniques, taking photographs, and recording stories. With his documentarian's eye, he captures the rich culinary traditions of the country's southern region, making this the first cookbook in English to focus on the cuisine. The Food of Southern Thailand continues Austin's ambitious project of illuminating Thailand's foodways. Shared here are bold, spicy flavors of chile, turmeric, and black pepper that link countryside and island. Gathered, too, are cosmopolitan dishes from the cities that blend ingredients such as coconut milk and fish sauce. The food of southern Thailand is like nothing you've encountered before: vibrant, thanks to Thailand's colorful larder; diverse, reflecting various waves of immigration to the region; and delicious beyond what you might find in most restaurants in the United States. In lush photographs and helpful step-by-step illustrations, Austin explores, bite by bite, the mouthwatering offerings of roadside stalls and tiny island restaurants. His detailed recipes feature the region's most beloved dishes, including a variation on a classic tart, spicy soup with vegetables and fish, Hat Yai-Style Fried Chicken with Sticky Rice (served with a tangy dipping sauce), and Minced Kingfish Stir-Fried in a Spicy Herb Paste. Sweets from the region are unique, often wrapped in banana leaves and filled or dusted with local palm sugar: fragrant cashew brittle, crispy fritters, warm coconut pancakes. A dream book for armchair travelers, intrepid cooks, and those eager to explore the backroads of a beautiful country, The Food of Southern Thailand is a crucial record of a cuisine as it is lived now. Austin's vivid writing and careful reporting will transport all with a powerful story of a place and its people and bring one-of-a-kind dishes to life in your home kitchen.
