Résumé

Résumé : Between 2021 and 2022, artist Lucy Raven created a series of sixty unique silver gelatine shadowgrams at an explosives range in New Mexico, often used as a test site by the US Department of Defense and private munition companies. From inside a custom-built room- sized black box on the site, Raven exposed photosensitive paper for microseconds to record the elemental pressures of air and raw materials, resulting in the abstract monochrome planes which are collected in this artist’s book. The town where the range is located was given its name, Socorro (meaning ‘succour’ or ‘relief’ in Spanish), by ailing Spanish settlers when Piro Native Americans welcomed them with water. Raven became interested in this area, which is also close to the very first sites of nuclear weapon testing, whilst filming for the second part of a cinematic trilogy of latter-day ‘Westerns’, each of which investigates properties of pressure, force, and material state change in relation to the present and historical Western United States. Accompanied by an extensive essay by art historian Pamela M. Lee
Biographie : Lucy Raven (b. 1977, Arizona) lives and works in New York City. Raven’s distinct and methodical practice combines an extended and interdisciplinary enquiry into the form, function and apparatus of the moving image – whether animated, digital, mechanical, or cinematic – with an ongoing appreciation for the landscapes, labours, and myths surrounding the American West. Her work has been exhibited in solo presentations at Wiels, Brussels, Belgium (2022); Dia Chelsea, New York, USA (2021); Serpentine Galleries, London, UK (2016–17); Columbus Museum of Art, Ohio, USA (2016); VOX centre de l’image contemporaine, Montreal, Canada (2015); Yerba Buena Center for the Arts, San Francisco, USA (2014); Portikus, Frankfurt, Germany (2014); Hammer Museum, Los Angeles, USA (2012); and Nevada Museum of Art, Reno, USA (2010). Raven teaches at the Cooper Union School of Art in New York.
