This artist's book interprets From Her Wooden Sleep . . ., artist-curator Ydessa Hendeles' multilayered meditation on difference, diversity, and group dynamics. Central to the show inspired by and mounted at London's Institute of Contemporary Arts is a unique community of 150 wooden artists' manikins, dating from 1520 to 1930 and in scale from palm-size to life-size, surrounding a lone figure exposed to their collective gaze. This scenario is the framework for Hendeles's latest exploration of psychologically charged cultural artifacts. Renowned for large-scale, site-specific curatorial compositions, Hendeles integrates artworks, artifacts, and found objects to precipitate a transcendent experience as an individual work of art. This book of images, curated by Hendeles and presented with her notes, provides access to the work of an artist who has carved a distinctive space in contemporary art.
