Laura Owens: Laura Owens

Artist Laura Owens created a series of videos featuring over 8,000 unique book covers, which she designed and screen printed by hand for her exhibition catalogue, Owens, Laura. The catalogue features critical essays, literary texts, and short commentaries on a variety of subjects related to Owens’s broad interests. Reflections by more than twenty of Owens’s fellow artists, collaborators, assistants, dealers, family members, and friends are accompanied by a rich trove of more than a thousand images drawn from the artist’s personal archive. Together, these elements offer a rare and intimate look at how an artist might make her way in the world as well as how art gets made, movements take hold, and relationships evolve over time.
