Jennife Dyck | Akateeminen Kirjakauppa

This is the first monograph exploring the work of contemporary multi-disciplinary artist Erin Sherriff. Accompanying the Brooklyn-based Canadian artist's first solo museum exhibition, this first monograph reveals an artistic practice that is conceptually rich and imbued with a lush sense of history. Engaging with various media, with works in video, photography and sculpture, the artist riffs on the traditions of Modernism and Conceptualism to interrogate time and materiality. In her investigation of systems and forms of knowledge Shirreff's work is situated in the lineage of figures such as Robert Smithson and Thomas Struth.
