{"product_id":"ericka-beckman-9783777433042","title":"Ericka Beckman","description":"Since the mid-1970s, Ericka Beckman has forged a signature visual language in film, installation, and photography. Often shot against black, spatially ambiguous backdrops, her moving image works are structured according to the logic of child's play, games, folklore, or fairytales, and populated by archetypical characters and toy-like props in bright, primary colors. Throughout her work, Beckman engages with profound questions of gender, role-playing, competition, power, and control. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Accompanying an exhibition at the MIT List Visual Arts Center, which will include selected works spanning thirty years of her career, this book contextualizes Beckman's practice within this major showing of her work--the first to fully survey her contribution in a U.S. museum.

Ha and new essays by Attilia Fattori Franchini, Henriette Huldisch, and Piper Marshall, \u003ci\u003eEricka Beckman \u003c\/i\u003eoffers an art historical consideration of Beckman's early Super-8 Films, as well as a critical look at her ongoing preoccupation with the structures of games, gambling, and capitalism. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Featuring thirty color illustrations, including photo-documentation of Beckman's works since 1983 and installation views of the List Center exhibition, \u003ci\u003eEricka Beckman \u003c\/i\u003eprovides new insight into this inventive woman artist. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Hirmer Verlag GmbH\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/27\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783777433042\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 104\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.30lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 11.80h x 9.00w x 0.50d","brand":"Henriette Huldisch","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52604430188725,"sku":"9783777433042","price":25.46,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/ericka-beckman-9783777433042","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
