Erin Shirreff

Accompanying the Brooklyn-based artist's solo museum exhibition, this first monograph reveals an artistic practice that is conceptually rich and imbued with a lush sense of history. Engaging with various media, with works in video, photography and sculpture, the artist riffs on the traditions of Modernism and Conceptualism to interrogate time and materiality. In her investigation of systems and forms of knowledge Shirreff's work is situated in the lineage of figures such as Robert Smithson and Thomas Struth. Produced by three public galleries, this illustrated publication accompanies an exhibition featuring works produced since 2009 that will travel across the country throughout the year. Erin Shirreff's work has been exhibited at MoMA PS1, Metropolitan Museum of Art, White Cube and the Power Plant. Two essays and an interview with the artist.
