Viewer: Gary Hill Projective Installation #3 by George Quasha, Charles Stein, - August 1997

Barrytown Limited, August 1997. Trade Paperback. Used - Good. Haunting and strangely provocative new installations by artist Gary Hill, celebrated worldwide in major museums and galleries, are introduced through a highly readable essay by two of the artist's long-time poet/artist collaborators. In a sort of 'lineup,' seventeen day-workers, full-size, stare at you from the wall, eerily present by the magic of video-projection (Viewer). A solitary Native American stares you in the eyes, while he stares at himself from an adjacent wall-then the projections switch position: the watcher becomes the watched and the watched becomes the watcher (Standing Apart). This third in an ongoing series of the Quasha &Stein dialogue on Gary Hill is beautifully illustrated in full color to give a living sense of the actual installations. Slight scratching/scuffing on cover. Book has minor shelf wear.
