Judith Richards

    Judith Richards's rozsiahle a rôznorodé životné skúsenosti, od herectva po prácu na karnevalových atrakciách, vlievajú jej tvorbe jedinečnú hĺbku a perspektívu. Jej príbehy často skúmajú hlbokú lásku k hudbe a hlboký záujem o pulzujúce mesto New Orleans, čerpajúc zo svojej vlastnej cesty ako Stredoameričanky, ktorá prijala Juh. Richardsov hlas a bystrý pohľad na ľudskú kondíciu ju etablovali ako významnú literárnu postavu, ktorá uchvacuje čitateľov príbehmi, ktoré rezonujú ešte dlho po dočítaní.

      With a mix of irreverence and sincerity, artists John Baldessari and Meg Cranston here tackle nothing less than the question of God. Acting as curators, they have invited 100 artists to respond to one of art's most enduring picturing the divine. The artists selected are those whose work the curators know and admire, those who possess the sense of humor and audacity necessary for such a project, or artists who are "likely to surprise." The works in this exhibition explore many different themes, including miracles, divine intervention, baptism, heaven, martyrdom, and the search for enlightenment. Included is one work by each of the 100 artists--primarily drawings, photographs, and paintings, along with a few sculptures and single-channel videos--some of them made in response to the curators' call for participation. Represented artists include Reverend Ethan Acres, Eleanor Antin, Chris Burden, Sam Durant, Jimmie Durham, Nicole Eisenman, Katharina Fritsch, Liam Gillick, Jack Goldstein, Scott Grieger, Rebecca Horn, Christian Jankowski, Mike Kelley, Mary Kelly, Martin Kippenberger, Louise Lawler, Roy Lichtenstein, Rita McBride, Paul McCarthy, Catherine Opie, Tony Oursler, Jorge Pardo, Raymond Pettibon, Paul Pfeiffer, Richard Prince, Rob Pruitt & Jonathan Horowitz, Gerhard Richter, Susan Rothenberg, Ed Ruscha, Gary Simmons, Lawrence Weiner, James Welling and Franz West.

    • If you liked To Kill A Mockingbird you'll love Summer Lightning and the irrepressible cigarette-smoking, redheaded truant named Terry, called Little Hawk by his friend, old McCree. Together they prowl the Everglades in search of rattlesnakes, epiphytes, and adventure until the law and a looming world war change their lives forever. The award-winning Summer Lightning has been reprinted in 15 languages since its first publication by St. Martin's Press.
