Ydessa Hendeles - From her wooden sleep...

Edited by Wayne Gooding. On occasion of the exhibition at the Institute of Contemporary Arts, London, 24 March - 17 May 2015. Photography by Robert Keziere. Graphic design by Lisa Kiss Design. Including an Audio-CD with "Golliwogg's Cakewalk" by Claude Debussy, in the TACET release of piano rolls originally recorded in 1912 by Debussy and Ravel using a Welte-Mignon device.

A unique community of 150 wooden artists’ manikins, dating from 1520 to 1930 and in scale from palm-size to life-size. Posed around a lone figure exposed to their collective gaze, they are an arresting extension of Hendeles’s work with psychologically charged cultural artefacts. Renowned for her large-scale, site-specific curatorial compositions, Hendeles explores the “total work of art” in this assembly of artworks, artefacts, found objects, and audio. This book of images, curated by Hendeles and presented with her Notes, showcases an artist who has fashioned a distinctive space in contemporary art.
