Author: Osorio, Pepon
Published for the artist’s most comprehensive exhibition to date, this catalogue focuses on the large-scale multimedia environments that Osorio has been creating since the early 90s. Informed by his background in theatre, performance, child services work & academia, the richly textured sculptures & installations of Puerto Rican-born, Philadelphia-based artist Pepón Osorio are deeply invested in political, social & cultural issues affecting Latinx and working-class communities in the USA. Often developed through long-term conversations and collaborations with individuals in the neighbourhoods where they were first shown, his installations draw from personal stories in order to empathetically elucidate larger social ills. Taken from an eponymous work, the book’s title addresses themes that resonate throughout Osorio’s practice, such as the need to better care for one another.
ISBN 9780915557325. New Museum. pb. 200 pages. 122 colour, 78 b/w ills. 24.8 x 18.4 cm.
