Proximity Machine
Glasgow-based Nashashibi, the 2003 winner of the prestigious Beck’s Futures prize for young British artists, presents a collection of static ‘films’ made from found and re-photographed images put together in associative groupings. The newly-formed images follow each other in a linear progression as in a film, written language, or a chain of thoughts. Connections between different elements, hidden shapes, or mythologies materialize, as each successive image affects the next and the previous to present unexpected projections through montage. Nashashibi is known for her films of utterly ordinary, everyday life – often with ambiguous time periods – which can take place on the West Bank, in Omaha, Nebraska, or at a Salvation Army thrift shop. Part of Book Works Singular Sociology Series.

KORI NEWKIRK
1997–2007
Celebrated multimedia artist Kori Newkirk achieved notoriety by artfully transfiguring pedestrian objects from African-American culture – like beads, basketballs and hair picks – into symbols through which viewers are led to experience and interact with black beauty and life. The first major publication of Newkirk’s compelling work, this softcover exhibition catalog features illustrations and full-color photographs that chart Newkirk’s creative development from 1997 to 2007, as well as a detailed biography, an exhibition history, essays, and a Q+A with the artist himself. Newkirk’s work has refashioned cultural models for himself and his viewers for more than a decade, and there’s not a page of this volume that doesn’t captivate.
