Fabienne Lasserre: Entre Chien Et Loup (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781941753910)

Titled after the French expression for twilight, Lasserre's first monograph is a fitting expression of her ambiguous colorblocked compositions blending painting with sculpture

Brooklyn-based artist Fabienne Lasserre (born 1973) describes her practice as "a stubborn action on materials"--creating freestanding objects made of clay, hand-dyed fabric, paper and metal that hover between painting and sculpture. For Lasserre, abstraction is a means to privilege lived and felt experience, implying powerful and fertile political metaphors. Entre chien et loup (a French expression for twilight), speaks to the way Lasserre's work defies easy categorization. This catalog-cum-artist's book includes contributions by curators Camila Marambio and Dean Daderko, art historian Nell Andrews and artist Kristine Woods (all presented in both English and French) providing intimate and lyrical weaving of viewpoints on materials, the senses, resistance and queer and feminist perspectives.
