Original essays and visual arts projects that explore the understudied breadth and richness of American artist Tony Smith s work in architecture.
Original essays and visual arts projects that explore the understudied breadth and richness of American artist Tony Smiths work in architecture.
Against Reason: Volume 2 is the companion publication to Tony Smith Catalogue Raisonné: Architecture, the second in a two-volume, four-book printed publication series dedicated to Tony Smiths sculpture and architecture. Edited by curator and historian James Voorhies, Against Reason gathers newly commissioned essays together with visual arts projects by practitioners and critics, including Mario Gooden, Christopher Ketcham, Marta Kuzma, Peter LOfficial, R.H. Quaytman, and Jasmine Rault. Their contributions from a wide range of disciplines from American studies, architecture, and art history to theory, design, and visual artplace Smiths architectural design work in dialogue with contemporary culture, expanding perspectives on the artists canonical work and offering fresh twenty-first-century insights.
The Against Reason books complicate and pluralize the very idea of the catalogue raisonné to challenge the monolithic place these forms have in writing art history by providing a more nuanced and historically rich lens through which the Tony Smith archive and his work can be read. In this case, the dual-publication project is an innovative approach to scholarship that situates Smith within contemporary culture, thus making evident his ongoing relevance in the fields of art and design.
