Visually appealing, conceptually startling, and intellectually engaging-these phrases aptly describe the art of Liliana Porter. Florencia Bazzano-Nelson's study focuses on the principal theme in the Argentine-born artist's work since the 1970s: her playful but subversive dismantling of the limits that separate everyday reality from the world of illusion and simulacra. Over the years, Porter's own evolving interest in perception lead the author to explore a series of interconnected and timely issues in her artistic production, such as the representative function of art, the structural links between art and language, and the witty re-signification of the art-historical images and mass-produced kitsch figurines she has so often featured in her art. Strongly founded in critical theory, Bazzano-Nelson's approach considers Porter's art as the site of conceptually exciting dialogues with Jorge Luis Borges, Ren?agritte, Michel Foucault, and Jean Baudrillard. Her carefully crafted interdisciplinary analysis not only combines art-historical, literary, and theoretical perspectives but also addresses the artist's work in different media, such as printmaking, conceptual art, photography, and film.

A nonlinear survey of Liliana Porter, with special emphasis on her recent theatrical work New York-based Argentinian artist Liliana Porter (born 1941) works across a range of mediums such as printmaking, sculpture, photography and, more recently, performance, to explore the conflicting boundaries between reality and fiction. Other Situations offers a descriptive account of the eponymous exhibition, a nonlinear survey of Porter's work, organized by the SCAD Museum of Art in Savannah, Georgia, in 2017. It also includes documentation from her play, Them, which was specially commissioned for the show and performed in New York at The Kitchen in 2018 when Other Situations traveled from the SCAD Museum of Art to El Museo del Barrio. This is the first publication to incorporate material related to the artist's theatrical work, a central element that serves as a gateway to understanding the exhibition and the body of work that composes it.
The Next Thing: Art in the Twenty-first Century is an illustrated collection of commissioned essays that attempt to anticipate, through current artistic productions, the aesthetic sensibility that will define our times.
"Published in conjunction with the exhibition of the same name, on view at the Smithsonian American Art Museum, Washington, DC, March 15, 2019 to August 18, 2019."
