Andrea Blum is a New York–based artist who has worked at the intersection of art, architecture and design since the 1970s. Accompanying an expansive exhibition of the same name at Hunter College Art Galleries, 'Biota' is lavishly illustrated with extensive photography of Blum’s early sculpture, public works, exhibitions, installations and propositions of the past 40 years. The book includes new essays and a conversation between the artist and Allan Schwartzman.Blum has exhibited at a wide range of venues and has built projects in Europe and the United States that include public installations, furniture, exhibition design, libraries and other designs for living. Blum’s work considers the relationship of the sociopolitical world to the private psychological one, zooming in and out of the conditions that organise us as a culture, with a focus on the “down time”—when one eats, reads and is in repose—as the time when the border between private behaviour and public etiquette is most evidenced.
