Her evocative works probe questions of race, class, cultural hybridism, and national identities in African diasporic communities. \u003ci\u003eMaría Magdalena Campos-Pons: Everything Is Separated by Water\u003c\/i\u003e is the first full-scale survey of the artist's career. The title, borrowed from one of her works, evokes at once the dangerous sea crossings faced by her enslaved ancestors from Africa and her Cuban contemporaries seeking greater freedom in America, and the sense of dislocation felt when physical and geopolitical barriers divide family and friends, past and future. Lisa D. Freiman considers how Campos-Pons's practice, which is predicated on concepts of separation, memory, and fragmentation, developed and transformed from her artistic training and early production in Cuba in the 1980s through her move to the United States in 1991 and her subsequent recognition as a major figure in the international art world. Okwui Enwezor interprets Campos-Pons's expressive materials--reassembled fragments of lost traditions and symbols, and memories of personal and collective history, religion, and mythology--within the context of post-colonial theory. Handsomely designed and produced, this book offers an unprecedented opportunity to assess the significance and import of this challenging artist's work. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003ePublished in association with the Indianapolis Museum of Art \u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eExhibition Schedule: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIndianapolis Museum of Art (February 25 - June 3, 2007)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBass Museum of Art, Miami Beach (September 21 - November 12, 2007) \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Okwui Enwezor\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0300123450\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780300123456\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Yale University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/01\/2007\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 184\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 3.12lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 11.96h x 9.98w x 0.83d","brand":"Okwui Enwezor","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48453302812927,"sku":"9780300123456","price":65.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_0c41bd0b-c06d-4982-8a05-8cce2e8dde3e.jpg?v=1777299452","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/marza-magdalena-campos-pons-okwui-enwezor-9780300123456","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
