description

Exhibition catalogue published in conjunction with show held at the Art Gallery of Ontario, Canada, March 31 - June 27, 2004. Traveled to Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles, July 25 - November 29, 2004 ; Vancouver Art Gallery, Vancouver, Canada, February 5 - May 8, 2005 ; Institute of Contemporary Art, Philadelphia, September 10 - December 23, 2005. Text by Cornelia Butler, Grant Arnold, Jessica Bradley, Lynne Cooke, Diedrich Diederichsen, Sara Krajewski, and Shepherd Steiner. Includes illustrated chronology. "One of Canada's most humorous conceptual artists--as witty as he is smart--Rodney Graham gets his first North American museum retrospective and accompanying catalogue. Rodney Graham: A Little Thought tracks the career of a brilliant, idiosyncratic artist whose work spans a range of media including photography, film, book works, installation and pop music. In this volume, amply illustrated with many never-before-seen images from early in his career as well as new photography of his most recent works, scholarly essays provide a broad context for viewing: Cornelia Butler looks at Graham's relationship to landscape and Canadian identity, Lynne Cooke examines the construction of the artist's persona in works such as City Self/ Country Self (2001), and Shep Steiner discusses the joke as a conceptual strategy for Graham. Diedrich Diederichsen considers the artist's oeuvre within the context of musical structure, and Sara Krajewski describes how Graham's video works unfold. Finally, Grant Arnold offers an in-depth illustrated chronology, tracing the range of activities that have occupied Graham since his early days on the Vancouver scene." -- publisher's statement.
