Description: Bologna: Damiani, Andrea Rosen Gallery, 2014. 30cm., hardcover, 384pp. illus. Exhibition catalogue. Summary : Canadian-born, New York–based artist David Altmejd (born 1974) is known for his intricate and highly worked room-size installations and sculptures. Seamlessly moving between a variety of aesthetic modes--from an almost ascetic minimalism in works employing plaster and mirror to works teeming with accumulations of crystals, gold chains, thread, taxidermied birds and animals, among other objects--Altmejd’s work offers beautifully wrought material meditations on the cycles of life and death, interiority and exteriority, sexuality and spirituality. In the most comprehensive consideration of the artist’s work to date, this volume includes four essays by a range of writers, who, by providing different entry points to Altmejd’s art, animate and engage the rich and diverse ideas that characterize his important practice.
