Description
Carrie Mae Weems: A Critical Perspective This October Files volume explores the work of influential American artist Carrie Mae Weems, challenging the status of the black female body in American society. Since the 1980s, Weems has investigated spaces that range from the domestic to the historical and ancient, using photography, film, and performance. The book delves into the underpinnings of photographic history in Weems's work, focusing on her engagement with archives, historical spaces, and the conceptual legacy of art history. It also considers the importance of expanding concerns in contemporary art, where race no longer restricts discussions of aesthetics. Contributors from various fields offer new insights into Weems's practice and its significance. Through essays and interviews, this volume sheds light on Weems's invention and originality, as well as her importance to the history of photography and contemporary art.
