Sophie Calle - The Reader

http://www.whitechapelgallery.org/shop/index.php/fuseaction/shop.product/product_id/416

I picked up a copy of Sophie Calle: The Reader at Whitchapel Gallery whilst visiting the exhibition. It has proved to be extremely useful since it provides a critical tool for navigating Calle's image and text work from 1979 to the present. The book brings together interviews with the artist, critical commentaries by an international range of critics, curators, artists and art historians and a most useful index summarising recurrent themes in her work.



It will be most useful to refer to this as I develop Seren Rhys’ retrospective exhibition and it will be a starting point to develop the exhibition catalogue.

As I research this book in more depth I will refer to it on the blog at a later date.
