Beverly Buchanan: The Artist - A Visual Journey

Zusatztext

A reissue of one of Buchanans artist zines with the Haus am Waldsee. In these simple, self-produced publications, Buchanans humorous yet incisive view of both the urban art world and her immediate surroundings in the rural American South comes to the fore. Through comic-like sketches and hastily scribbled text fragments, she creates brief, anecdotal stories of everyday life. While Buchanan is best known for her sculptures of shacks and her architectural fragmentations, she always kept a deep practice producing various forms of printed matter. Personal notebooks, journals, scrapbooks, artist statements, clippings, photographic materials, illustrations, business cards and various zines, all were integral in her multi-layered oeuvre and are essential in understanding how she navigated between the various elements of impermanence, control, and the monumental. They also show how she used wit and fragility as a method or even a force of emotion.
