Myths of the Marble / Available at www.draw-down.com / Designed by Mark Owens. Documenting a group exhibition at the Institute of Contemporary Art (ICA), University of Pennsylvania, and Henie Onstad Kunstsenter (HOK), Norway, this catalog—like the exhibition—reflects on how the #virtual has been engaged by contemporary artists as a way to consider the world as a site of possibility and limitation that permeates both physical space and online experience. #MythsoftheMarble begins with individual profiles of each artist and expansive color images of their work, which includes painting, sculpture, and installation as well as video, 16-mm film, and VR technology. Informative installation views from both venues connect the essays from scholars Homay King and Tom Holert, along with artists #CayetanoFerrer #FlorianMeisenberg #SondraPerry and art historians Iggy Cortez and Marina Isgro, discussing concepts ranging from the video game “skybox” to the complexities of the “prosthetic.” Artists included in the exhibition and catalog: Rachel de Joode, Cayetano Ferrer, Ane Graff, Ignas Krunglevicius, Chris Marker, Daria Martin, Florian Meisenberg Shahryar Nashat, Sondra Perry, Jacolby Satterwhite, and Susanne M. Winterling. Edited by Alex Klein and Milena Hoegsberg.

OPEN TODAY 12-4 PM. NEW IN THE BOOKSHOP: MYTHS OF THE MARBLE (2018) • Contributions by Iggy Cortez, Cayetano Ferrer, Roksana Filipowska, Ane Graff, Milena Hoegsberg, Tom Holert, Charlotte Ickes, Marina Isgro, Rachel de Joode, Homay King, Alex Klein, Ignas Krunglevičius, Chris Marker, Daria Martin, Florian Meisenberg, Shahryar Nashat, Sondra Perry, Jacolby Satterwhite, Susanne M. Winterling • Myths of the Marble documents a group exhibition that took place in 2017 at the Henie Onstad Kunstsenter, Norway (HOK) and the Institute of Contemporary Art, University of Pennsylvania (ICA). Cocurated by Alex Klein (ICA) and Milena Hoegsberg (HOK), the exhibition reflects upon how the “virtual” has been engaged by contemporary artists as a way to consider the world as a site of possibility and limitation that both permeates physical space and online experience. • The book features individual profiles of each artist, generously illustrated with images of works spanning painting, sculpture, and installation to video, 16-mm film, and VR technology, as well as exhibition views from both venues. Homay King and Tom Holert each provide essays that meditate upon how virtuality in its various forms offer radical reconfigurations of the body, ecology, and architectural space at a moment when the capacity to depict the world has never been greater, and where reality is itself increasingly articulated as a construction. Rounding out the book is a discussion between artists Cayetano Ferrer, Florian Meisenberg, and Sondra Perry with art historians Iggy Cortez and Marina Isgro, which delves into concepts ranging from the video game “skybox” to the complexities of the “prosthetic.” • In the bookshop today and via our website. • #worldfoodbooks #mythsofthemarble #sternbergpress (at WORLD FOOD BOOKS)
