This new monograph on Nari Ward pays particular attention to aspects of performativity, sound and time-based practices that have emerged from collaborative exchanges in the artist's work
New York-based, Jamaican-born artist Nari Ward (born 1963) is internationally renowned for his installations made up of familiar, everyday materials and layered with social and historical references. Giving new life to a wide range of found objects chosen for their strong symbolic value, Ward addresses issues central to our time, from racial and social injustice to consumer culture, identity and a sense of belonging.
This monograph presents the most up-to-date studies on the artist's work, exploring in-depth aspects relating to the idea of performance, collaboration, sound and time-based practices. The catalog, designed by London-based studio Kellenberger-White, also includes a conversation between Ward and choreographer Ralph Lemon about their collaboration in the Geography Trilogy performance project (1997-2004), four large-scale installations exhibited for the first time since their original presentation.
