The result was published as Heads and Tales by CHARTA Art Books, Milan/ New York in 2009. An exhibition will tour through the USA and Europe to promote the book.The portraits in Heads and Tales are photographic documentations of sculptures Heide Hatry created out of animal skin and body parts. She invited writers to select one image and create a life for her. As the work addresses issues of violence, death and gender identity, the writing reflects similar concerns as they are specific to women. “Finding a way to be a woman is finding a way to live with fatal knowledge,” says Catharine MacKinnon in her introduction, and Hatry and her collaborators speak that fatal knowledge which others are at pains to suppress.</p> <div class="image-clear"></div><p><a href="http://faces-l.net/F/node/314">read more</a></p> http://faces-l.net/F/node/314#comments announcement book release part exhibition Sun, 08 Feb 2009 16:46:15 +0000 Anna Schmid 314 at http://faces-l.net
