Description
Igshaan Adams: Desire Lines explores the multimedia practice of Cape Town-based artist Igshaan Adams since 2009. The publication presents an early career survey, highlighting recurring motifs in his work, including Arabic calligraphy and Sufi symbols. Adams's sculptural fiber work is showcased alongside discussions on material concerns, such as weaving and recycled materials related to black South African domesticity and interiority. A visual essay by the artist offers a unique perspective on his work, while shorter essays and poetic texts examine the South African historical and political context, specific artworks, and creative strategies. This book provides insight into Adams's recent work, engaging with presence, absence, and the trace. It is distributed for an exhibition at the Art Institute of Chicago, running from April 2 to August 1, 2022.
