Writing in the Vicinity of Art Volume 1

by Tracey Warr

Overview

Tracey Warr's art texts have been developed as an 'embedded' writer, writing with rather than about artists. Throughout her various modes of art writing, she argues against binaries and focuses on the stream of consciousness, the more than human, and remoteness.

Her essays tangle with punk art, art and ecology, endurance art, performance art, site-specific art, and women's art. Warr's writing engages with the making processes of contemporary artists, including Marina Abramovic, Ackroyd and Harvey, Tine Bech, Brook and Black, Bruce Gilchrist, Marcus Coates, Elpida Hadzi-Vasileva, London Fieldworks, Hayley Newman, Optik, Alan Smith, Emily Speed, Christian Thompson, James Turrell, Urbonas Studio, and more.
