Glen Seator

Résumé du livre

The title Three refers to the three locations that artist Glen Seator staged in his Summer 1999 exhibition at the Gagosian Gallery in Los Angeles: the desert, the eastside Los Angeles neighborhood of Echo Park, and the Beverly Hills gallery building designed by Richard Meier. Seator interrupts the facade of the gallery by inserting a precise reconstruction of a check-cashing store in Echo Park. In another piece, a 360-degree panoramic photograph is enlarged to occupy the total perimeter of the gallery's walls and doorways. The book also documents selected early works, including his famous piece Approach, 1997, in which he faithfully replicated the facade of San Francisco's Capp Street Project including the street with its graffiti, sidewalk, street lights, and pavement, cracks and all.
