Description

Kaari Upson 2000 Words by Massimiliano Gioni and Karen Marta is a monograph that explores the work of Los Angeles-based sculptor, painter, filmmaker, and installation artist Kaari Upson. Her art often incorporates everyday objects imbued with an arcane magic, creating powerful symbols of absence, failed aspirations, and loneliness. The book features an essay by Ali Subotnick examining Upson's pseudoscientific approach to her art, which allows for confounding works that are both familiar and foreign. This publication is part of the 2000 Words series conceived by Massimiliano Gioni and published by DESTE Foundation for Contemporary Art. With its unique perspective on contemporary art, Kaari Upson 2000 Words offers a nuanced understanding of Upson's creative process and artistic vision.
