SKIN IN THE GAME - CLÉMENTINE DELISS KARTONIERT...

Skin in the Game follows on from the acclaimed fieldwork diary  The Metabolic Museum. In this
new book  Clémentine Deliss expands on how artists understand risk and contention both in their
work and with regard to historical collections. Through a series of compelling conversations 
questions are raised on how to work on colonial collections through the concept of the
prototype as generative of a multiplicity of non-exclusive interpretations. The book includes
interviews with leading women artists spanning two generations-Ruth Buchanan  Otobong Nkanga 
Collier Schorr  Joëlle Tuerlinckx  and Andrea Zittel-in which they discuss that moment of skin
in the game  when each of them took the decision to become an artist  to enter the Hades of an
uncertain existence and the Heaven of aesthetic experiment. What was the prototype that defined
their career and their life's trajectory  that like a revenant returns over the course of an
artist's lifetime? CLÉMENTINE DELISS (*1960  London) is an independent curator whose practice
crosses the borders of contemporary art  critical anthropology and curatorial experimentation.
She is internationally recognized for her seminal work on the Post-Ethnographic  on African
modernism  and for her interventionist practices in art. She is Honorary Global Humanities
Professor of History of Art at the University of Cambridge  and Associate Curator at KW
Institute for Contemporary Art in Berlin.
