The book reveals the artist's humor, ingenuity, and ability to unearth the creative potential that \"lurks within the mundane,\" to use her words. The diverse range of art it highlights includes \u003ci\u003eMended Spiderwebs\u003c\/i\u003e, a series of photographs documenting the artist's attempts to weave red string into dilapidated spiderwebs, and \u003ci\u003eUnder Pressure\u003c\/i\u003e, a recent video that Katchadourian took of herself lip-synching to David Bowie and Freddie Mercury's duet using her mobile phone in the cramped quarters of an airplane lavatory. We learn about art projects she has made with the assistance not only of arachnids and rock stars, but also United Nations translators, birdcall experts, librarians, sports announcers, parking lot attendants, an accent elimination coach, and even her own parents.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis exhibition catalogue marks the first significant publication on Katchadourian's work and features essays by Jeffrey Kastner and Veronica Roberts, as well as an interview between the artist and Stuart Horodner. In addition, it includes Katchadourian's accounts of fourteen individual works paired with creative essays from a multidisciplinary team of contributors including artist Ann Hamilton, animal behavior expert Laurel Braitman, and sound art scholar Christoph Cox. Through these diverse perspectives, readers are introduced to Katchadourian's unbridled curiosity and puckish wit.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Veronica Roberts\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1477311513\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781477311516\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Blanton Museum of Art, Ut-Austin\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/01\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 144\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.95lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.80h x 8.80w x 0.80d","brand":"Veronica Roberts","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43987747602687,"sku":"9781477311516","price":34.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_316313f4-d9c5-4a93-8b66-2d709a19ba43.jpg?v=1683290750","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/nina-katchadourian-veronica-roberts-9781477311516","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
