Author: Claudia Schmuckli (ed)
Wangechi Mutu takes viewers on journeys of material, psychological and sociopolitical transformation; this volume explores her most recent groundbreaking work. Over the past two decades, Mutu has created chimerical constellations of powerful female characters, hybrid beings and fantastical landscapes. This title is the most comprehensive book on Mutu to date and accompanies a presentation of her new work at the Legion. With a rare understanding of the need for powerful new mythologies beyond simple binaries and stereotypes, Mutu breaches common distinctions between human, animal, plant and machine. An artist who calls both Nairobi and New York City home, Mutu moves voraciously between cultural traditions to challenge colonialist, racist and sexist world-views with her visionary projection of an alternate universe informed by Afrofuturism, posthumanism and feminism.
ISBN 9781636810058. DelMonico Books/Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco. hb. 176 pages. 150 colour ills. 21.6 x 26.7 cm..
