Wordless: The Performance Art of Rebecca Belmore
Member Pricing: $28.80
Documenting over thirty years of Rebecca Belmore’s remarkable, poignant and important performance career, Wordless brings together essays, inquiries and personal reflections from a community of artists, scholars, writers and Indigenous thinkers. The book also features five new photographs of Belmore’s re-presented work produced by the grunt gallery. As Kathleen Ritter writes, "Belmore’s work addresses some of the most challenging and urgent issues of our time - injustice, racism, violence, trauma, resilience and, ultimately, hope. Her use of voice is political inasmuch as the subjectivity of an Indigenous woman is inherently political; her work an assertion of presence in the face of society’s efforts to silence and to erase…?‘The role of an artist is a worker, art-making is a job,’ she says... ‘We have the responsibility to carry the past and look towards the future.’
