Catherine Sullivan

First monograph devoted to the Californian artist whose films and theatrical mises-en-scène have recently been presented at the Lyon Biennale 2003 and the Whitney Biennial 2004. * * Made for a three-part exhibition that takes stock of Sullivan’s dramatic and narrative experiments, the monograph reunites the artist’s major scripts from works made in the last few years. * * The performative tension of the artist’s work is accompanied by a “Brechtian” deconstruction of divisions between genre and media, which is explored in texts by the curators of the exhibitions, Beatrix Ruf, Susanne Titz, and Karola Grässlin, as well as by Sebastian Egenhofer, Nicolas Baume, and the artist. * * Published with Kunsthalle Zürich, Neuer Aachener Kunstverein, and Kunstverein Braunschweig.
