Born in Greece, educated in Paris and living between New York and Rome, where she died, Grisi spent long periods of her life in Africa, South America and Polynesia. This involvement with non-Western cultures indelibly marked her own search for a cosmic thinking. Although her work is often reduced to Pop art, Grisi always worked within the fundamental motif of the \"journey\"--from remote locations visited and documented, to the multiplicity of mediums used. Grisi embodied a stateless, nomadic female subject defying the politics of identity, the univocity of representation and the unidirectionality of time. Grisi's work spans from her avant-garde \u003ci\u003eVariable Paintings\u003c\/i\u003e of the mid-1960s and her 1970s pioneering environmental installations dealing with fog, wind and rain, to her conceptual photo-works of the 1980s.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Jrp Ringier\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/28\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783037645666\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 224","brand":"Laura Grisi","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42114635792565,"sku":"9783037645666","price":34.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_0acd796a-5958-4cf9-835d-93099e2cceaf.jpg?v=1652152981","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/laura-grisi-the-measuring-of-time-9783037645666","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
