Karyn Olivier: Everything That's Alive Moves

This publication documents the first solo museum exhibition of Philadelphia-based sculptor Karyn Olivier, focusing on recent trajectories of her investigation into scale and public memory, particularly as activated for monuments and memorials. Olivier revisited a handful of recent works to consider the conflicted histories and unresolved spaces monuments too often shadow. Exhibition images are accompanied by the full narrative text for Oliver's first video.The book also includes an overview essay from ICA Daniel and Brett Sundheim Chief Curator Anthony Elms; UB Art Galleries curator Liz Park's in-depth consideration of 'Moving the Obelisk'; and a critical assessment by art historian Andrianna Campbell-LaFleur.
