Whether it’s music, film, performance, or virtual reality, there’s usually a story somewhere, a story from my own life, history, or the great shifting panorama of American culture.” — Laurie Anderson\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ci\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Weather and Other Stories\u003c\/i\u003e is a survey of the work of legendary artist Laurie Anderson in her own words. At heart a storyteller, the artist serves as a personal guide through two of her most ambitious recent exhibitions that span fifty years of work: \u003ci\u003eThe Weather\u003c\/i\u003e at the Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden and \u003ci\u003eLooking into a Mirror Sideways\u003c\/i\u003e at the Moderna Museet, Stockholm.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAnderson reveals the creative impulses behind her many iconic works and introduces new bodies of work in detail. From the iconic \u003ci\u003eDrum Dance\u003c\/i\u003e and the violin duets of \u003ci\u003eDuets on Ice\u003c\/i\u003e to her cutting-edge experiments with virtual reality and artificial intelligence, the book explores how Anderson “puts things into words and words into things.” She provides behind-the-scenes insights into major installations like \u003ci\u003eHabeas Corpus\u003c\/i\u003e, which examines justice through the story of a Guantánamo detainee, and \u003ci\u003eSalute\u003c\/i\u003e, an animatronic display of red flags symbolizing a nation in upheaval. New works include a project centered on the life and “family lore” of Anderson’s Swedish grandfather Axel Ephraim Anderson and \u003ci\u003eScenes from ARK, \u003c\/i\u003ea translation of the artist’s three-hour performance work which centered around “end-times fables, climate, survival strategies, love, American history, and stories from the Bible.” \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRichly illustrated and filled with both expository and poetic texts (including maxims, dreams, and lyrics), the book is a walk-in notebook of an artist perpetually curious about the intersection of technology, memory, and the American cultural landscape.","brand":"Rizzoli Electa","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47086394736895,"sku":"9780847840762","price":75.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0452\/0886\/2873\/files\/9780847840762_s600x595.jpg?v=1775599344","url":"https:\/\/massivebookshop.com\/de\/products\/9780847840762","provider":"MASSIVE BOOKSHOP","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
