Author: Brockman, Susan
This book is the first to focus on the life and work of Susan Brockman, a prolific filmmaker and artist who was involved in the feminist art movement, the documentary filmmaking community and the downtown New York art scenes of the 1960s–’90s. This monograph charts Soft Network's three-year journey into Brockman's archive, revealing the immense effort that goes into caring for and creating access to an artist’s legacy and proposing new ways of considering what this work can mean.Through her distinctive approach to framing, editing and collage, Brockman created interior worlds and tableaux that have a palpable but enigmatic emotional resonance. In 2021, Soft Network began a three-year journey in her archive, a project that uncovered her largely forgotten contributions to experimental image-making. This eponymous monograph charts the organisation’s process and methodology, revealing the immense effort that goes into caring for and creating access to an artist’s legacy and proposing new ways of considering what this work can mean.
ISBN 9781940190358. Soberscove Press. pb. 112 pages. 50 colour, 15 b/w ills. 22.9 x 17.2 cm.
