Burn the diaries

Davey, Moyra.; Strayer, Alison.; Museum Moderner Kunst (Austria)
TR647 .D383 2014
In the oeuvre of New York artist Moyra Davey (born 1958), literature and writing are as significant as photography, film, and video. In her latest text, Burn the Diaries. Davey considers the work of French playwright and political activist Jean Genet (19101986), among other texts, while examining fugitive moments from her own life. An essay by her childhood friend and reading companion Alison Strayer, written in response, reflects on Daveys themes. The publication is part of a group of new works; that includes photographs, a film, and an installation of her signature mailers - and can be read both as an artist's book and a catalogue to accompany the exhibition at mumok, Vienna, and the ICA in 2014. Exhibition: University of Pennsylvania Museum, Philadelphia, USA (17.9-28.12.2014).
