Description: Leslie Thornton, a media artist who was influenced by Paul Sharits, Yvonne Rainer, and Joan Jonas often deploys projections complicated by ample sound-image interactions. In her artist book EVENT, Leslie Thornton applies her technique of montaging imagery and textual material to the book medium. Assembled from found material and original footage from her own extensive archive, EVENT morphs into an audiovisual note on artistic production.
Notes: This artist's book is published on the occasion of the exhibition "James Richards & Leslie Thoronton. Crossing at the Secession", September 14-November 4, 2018
