MONICA BONVICINI

Architecture, power, space, gender, surveillance and authority are the issues that have animated Monica Bonvicini''s work for the past two decades. Her installations, sculptures, drawings, and films often rise questions about how the built environment shapes, conditions, and controls viewers as subjects and, in the process, dictates our phenomenological, sexual, and psycho-social relationship to space. The book provides an overview of Bonvicini''s artistic production reconsidering her past work, tracing its current trajectories, and creating a geography that charts the terrain of the artist''s attempts to embody and negotiate the very same architecture of history it challenges.
