Description

Tavares Strachan: There Is Light Somewhere is a major monograph that brings together the work of Bahamian contemporary artist Tavares Strachan, one of the most innovative and accomplished artists of his generation. This comprehensive publication explores Strachan's engagement with questions of cultural visibility and social inequity through painting, sculpture, and installation. The book delves into three key areas of Strachan's work: 'Exploration', which examines the artist's own role as an explorer; 'Invisibilty', which focuses on Strachan's The Encyclopedia of Invisibility; and 'Remapping', which presents recent works that reimagine lost cultural connections between African diaspora people and traditional African societies. Designed in collaboration with the artist, the book includes an Index of Characters, Chronology, and Exhibition History. Through new interviews and essays by Ekow Eshun and Maggie Cao, this publication offers a nuanced understanding of Strachan's work and its significance in contemporary art.
