Product Description
by Nicole Eisenman (Artist)
Authors from Hannah Black to Sheila Heti explore the resonances of Eisenman's enigmatic sculptural ensemble
At the center of New York-based artist Nicole Eisenman's (born 1965) sculpture Maker's Muck, an outsize plaster figure sits hunched over a potter's wheel, on which a mound of ersatz clay interminably spins. The floor teems with sculptures. Some of the pieces are fully rendered and recognizable: an owl, a ketchup bottle. For this publication, Eisenman has invited 15 authors to follow the trajectories of Maker's Muck's various objects in essays, metafictional reflections and other experiments in interpretation.
Authors include: hannah baer, Hannah Black, Durga Chew-Bose, Sheila Heti, Alhena Katsof, Shiv Kotecha, Matt Longabucco, Sam McKinniss, Ryan McNamara, Tess Pollok, Sam Roeck, Jasmine Sanders, Cyrus Dunham, Lynne Tillman and Janique Vigier.
