Bridging those early influences with the canon of Western art (from ancient sculpture to medieval tapestries) and popular references such as astrology and music videos, the artist's work centers female archetypes 0in her expansive practice of painting, sculpture, and large-scale installation. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eFor the artist's first monograph, curator Jen Sudul Edwards discusses the wide range of subjects that inform Wheat's work and positions her use of materials in the context of alchemy. Curator Anne Ellegood in conversation with the artist traces Wheat's transition from painting to sculptural work, large-scale installations, and first foray into building a freestanding architectural space. Jennifer Krasinski explores Wheat's unique approach to painting, with her large panels seemingly a cross between intricate beadwork and the pixel-like structure of a digital image. Artist Diedrick Brackens speaks with Wheat about lines--from one that is drawn by hand to the ones that define spaces between art and craft, and the ones defined by a single thread.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eJennifer Sudul Edwards\u003c\/b\u003e, PhD, is the Chief Curator and Curator of Contemporary Art at the Mint Museum in Charlotte. \u003cb\u003eJennifer Krasinski\u003c\/b\u003e has written on the subject of art, film, video, and performance for numerous publications such as \u003ci\u003eArtforum\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eArt in America\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eBidoun\u003c\/i\u003e, among many others. \u003cb\u003eAnne Ellegood\u003c\/b\u003e is the Executive Director of the Institute of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles (ICA LA). \u003cb\u003eDiedrick Brackens\u003c\/b\u003e is an artist best known for his woven tapestries.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 224\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1 x 12.1 x 8.9 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e February 20, 2024\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42696941502527,"sku":"9780847873401","price":78.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0105\/8226\/1823\/files\/99e8d52642564c388b8cc7aca54a0f17.webp?v=1765007876","url":"https:\/\/dhlswag.com\/products\/summer-wheat-forager-hardcover","provider":"BBB","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
