ART MONSTERS - LAUREN ELKIN KARTONIERT (TB)

'Destined to become a new classic' Chris KrausA dazzlingly original reassessment of women's
stories  bodies and art - and how we think about them. For decades  feminist artists have
confronted the problem of how to tell the truth about their experiences as bodies. Queer bodies
sick bodies  racialised bodies  female bodies  what is their language  what are the materials
we need to transcribe it? Exploring the ways in which feminist artists have taken up this
challenge  Art Monsters is a landmark intervention in how we think about art and the body.
Weaving daring links between disparate artists and writers - from Julia Margaret Cameron's
photography to Kara Walker's silhouettes  Vanessa Bell's portraits to Eva Hesse's rope
sculptures - Lauren Elkin shows that their work offers a potent celebration of beauty and
excess  sentiment and touch  the personal and the political. 'The Susan Sontag of her
generation' Deborah Levy
