Ickes, Charlotte et al. - Descent

Title: Descent
Description: Philadelphia, Institute of Contemporary Art, 2016. Paperback. White paperback with green lettering. 154 pp. 12 color figures + many more color illustrations. Descent animates alternative modes and materials of inheritance across generations of families, artists, and artworks. While inheritance, influence, and other acts of transmission often move down vertical lines of property and patrimony, the works in this exhibition unsettle this passage with forms of heredity that are often undervalued or unconventional: used or surplus possessions, intergenerational collaborations, maternal memories and matter, transatlantic journeys, spoken words, and sound waves. - Worldcat. VG, some small marks on wraps .
