Author: Self, Tschabalala
Working across a range of mediums, including large-scale painting, printmaking, sculpture, collage and installation, Self’s exuberant and seductive artworks often focus on stories of urban life, the body and humanity to explore cultural attitudes toward race and gender. This title documents Self’s exploration of the bodega as both a gathering place for community and a microcosm of the political and economic forces that impact the lives of city dwellers, particularly of Black and Latin descent.In vibrant paintings, sculptures and dizzying immersive installations, Self captures the densely stocked shelves, neon signs and intermingling characters of the New York City bodega. This lavishly designed monograph reproduces works and photographs from throughout the Bodega Run series, alongside significant new texts that expand on the project and Self’s practice and a sewn-in zine insert with photographs of New York bodegas. Tschabalala Self: Bodega Run is an essential look at a defining series of artworks by one of the most exciting young artists working today.
