Susie J. Lee: Of Breath and Rain

Published by the Frye Art Museum on the occasion of the exhibition Susie J. Lee: Of Breath and Rain, this multimedia artist book aptly showcases the time-based nature of Susie J. Lee’s artwork. The book includes an introduction by exhibition curator Robin Held, a scholarly essay by art historian Kolya Rice, a literary work by Rebecca Brown, and a foreword by Director, Jo-Anne Birnie Danzker. Paired with the book, content on a flash drive—an audio experience, an artist interview with Robin Held, and the Still Lives portrait from the Frye’s exhibition—provides the reader a unique interactive experience.

This is an art object,
an artist’s book,
a catalogue,
a limited edition,
a shattering of boundaries,
an embodiment,
practice that captures a /the dichotomy of the material and the ephemeral.

--Jo-Anne Birnie Danzker, foreword
