Trouve's evident investment in tricks of the eye-and of the mind-paint her ... as a 21st-century surrealist -Artforum MAMCO's collections include the complete set of Italian artist Tatiana Trouve's (born 1968) archive of drawings, as well as a room, Prepared Space, painted blindingly white and transected by tiny thread-width gashes seemingly held open by pieces of bronze and wood wedged into the cuts, somewhat resembling the lines on an ancient map. The goal of this volume, which is based around these two bodies of work, is to highlight the importance of drawing in the artist's work-the way in which it structures both her vision and her sculpture. Each corpus is described in detail, but is also situated within Trouve's oeuvre in a comprehensive way, thus opening up various possible readings of her work. This affordable introduction to Trouve's oeuvre contains 30 color images of her work and commentary by MAMCO's curators.
