Description: This is one of the first major catalogues on Herv茅 T茅l茅maque鈥檚 work to be published in English and includes newly-commissioned texts that trace T茅l茅maque鈥檚 six decades of work through an art historical lens, while also providing new perspectives on his work that draw upon its literary, political, historical and theoretical underpinnings. Richly illustrated and designed by Zak Group, it includes contributions by C.C. McKee, Helen Marten, Lyonel Trouillot, Fran莽oise Verg猫s, Sarah Wilson, and an interview between Herv茅 T茅l茅maque and Serpentine Artistic Director Hans Ulrich Obrist.
Academic C.C. McKee draws on their specialism in the art and visual culture of the modern Atlantic world in order to read T茅l茅maque鈥檚 work through a psychoanalytic lens and the context of Haitian art.
