CONCEPT:
Beginning with photography of the artwork produced for the exhibition, the book goes on to provide further context through photography of the installation process alongside the exhibition statement; documentation of performances held in, on, and around the work; interviews with the artists about their processes and past work; and essays on the history of public art in Grand Rapids, Michigan. The book’s design references the visual language of construction and division of public space, reinforcing the exhibition’s theme of belonging and questioning the lines that unite and divide a city.
