WHITE-OUT: Between Telling and Listening

Esther Shalev-Gerz was born in Lithuania, raised in Israel and a resident of Paris since 1984. She is internationally recognized for her investigations into the nature of democracy, citizenship, cultural memory and spatial politics. Additionally, her work persistently challenges traditional notions and practices of portraiture; it considers the portrait’s possibilities within contemporary discourses and the politics of representation.

This full colour publication was produced in conjunction with the solo exhibition Esther Shalev-Gerz | WHITE-OUT: Between Telling and Listening at the Kamloops Art Gallery March 24 to June 16, 2012 and includes reproductions of the works WHITE OUT: Between Telling and Listening and Perpetuum Mobile.

This publication is dedicated to the memory of Annette Hurtig (1946-2012).
