She paints images on top of maps, book pages and found ephemera that combine abstraction and figuration, personal perspectives with grand historical narratives and Caribbean mythology with science fiction. This colorful publication serves as an introduction to B疇z's work. The artist discusses how she interrogates powerful concepts such as truth and history throughout her practice. Special attention is paid to her \"palimpsests,\" paintings on top of colonial maps or construction plans for colonial architecture, both of which represent the establishment's notion of objectivity. Inspired by B疇z's works, poet Warsan Shire and author Katrine Rasmussen Kielsen contribute texts considering the legacy of colonialism.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Firelei Baez\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 8793659717\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9788793659711\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Louisiana Museum of Modern Art\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/26\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 92\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.30lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 12.90h x 9.50w x 0.50d","brand":"Firelei Baez","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44652063850751,"sku":"9788793659711","price":50.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_6c4f4502-7d84-4179-9e05-e35a9484fb1f.jpg?v=1704214397","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/firelei-b-ez-firelei-baez-9788793659711","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
