Laura Grisi: The Measuring of Time - Hardcover

by Laura Grisi (Artist), Clément Dirié (Editor), Marco Scotini (Editor)

Published on the occasion of her long-deserved retrospective organized by Muzeum Susch from June to December 2021, this book testifies to the singularity and innovative vision of Italian artist Laura Grisi within contemporary art history. Although her work has mostly been 'reduced' to Italian Pop art -- if not entirely overlooked -- from the outset Grisi worked beyond that category, pertinently intercepting various lines of international artistic research (Conceptual art, Optical art and Kinetic-Programmed art, Minimal art) and applying them in her own original synthesis. Within an activity whose fundamental motif is the 'journey' -- from remote locations visited and documented, to the multiplicity of mediums used -- Grisi embodies a stateless and nomadic female subject who defies the politics ofidentity, the univocity of representation, and the unidirectionality of time. The first comprehensive monograph dedicated to Laura Grisi.
