It may also be the most important  owing to an originality that breaks a prevalent spell in an art world of recycled genres  styles  and ideas.Peter Schjeldahl  The New Yorker  In her sculptures  room-sized installations  drawings  photographs  and artists books  Rachel Harrison (b. 1966) delves into themes of celebrity culture  pop psychology  history  and politics. This publication  created in close collaboration with the artist  explores twenty-five years of her practice and is the first comprehensive monograph on Harrison in nearly a decade. Its centerpiece is an in-depth plate section  which doubles as a chronology of Harrisons major works  series  and exhibitions. Objects are illustrated with multiple views and details  and accompanied by short texts. This thorough approach elucidates Harrisons complicated  eclectic oeuvrein which she integrates found materials with handmade sculptural elements  upends traditions of museum display  and injects quotidian objects with a sense of strangeness. Six accompanying essays cover Harrisons earliest works to her most recent output. The book also includes a handful of photo-collages that the artist created specifically for this project. Published here for the first time  these pieces superimpose found images with reproductions of Harrisons own past work.
