Author: Jeffrey Eugenides; Anthony Vidler
Title: James Casebere: The Spatial Uncanny
Description: New York: Sean Kelly Gallery, 2001. 4to. 191 pp. Near Fine. Hard Covers. Dust Jacket Very Good+. In protective wraps. Pages fine. Color and B&W plates throughout. For the last 20 years, James Casebere has constructed increasingly complex small-scale architectural models that are carefully built and then subtly lit and photographed in the studio. These table-sized models are made of simple materials, pared down to essential forms, empty of both extraneous detail and action. Casebere's disconcerting ''sites'' recall prisons, monasteries, tunnels, factories and other such spaces. Casebere has gained increasing international acclaim in recent years as the leading proponent of what has become known as ''constructed photography.'' This is the first publication to comprehensively survey Casebere's career in its entirety, and provides an important contextual and visual framework in which to posit his soaring international reputation. His oeuvre can be seen in the full scope of its development, from his early preoccupation with the genre of the Western and the suburban home, to his concern with institutional buildings, to his recent investigations into the relationships between social control and social structures. ISBN 10: 8881583151 ISBN 13: 9788881583157. .
