{"product_id":"9781881390411","title":"Sadie Benning: Suspended Animation","description":"\u003cp\u003eSadie Benning is not only among the country's most respected and influential video artists, she also broke cultural ground as a founding member of the multimedia feminist band Le Tigre. \u003ci\u003eSuspended Animation\u003c\/i\u003e, the first monograph on the artist and the catalogue of her first U.S. museum exhibition, introduces Benning's paintings and \u003ci\u003ePlay Pause\u003c\/i\u003e, an ambitious new two-channel video installation. Benning's videos, which she began to make in the late 1980s with a Fisher-Price Pixelvision 2000 \"toy camera,\" are known for their explorations of loneliness, alienation, gender ambiguity and her own developing lesbian identity. Benning's recent paintings—flat, illustrative, exuberant—are playful, imaginary portraits that address similar themes. \u003ci\u003ePlay Pause\u003c\/i\u003e, created entirely from hundreds of Benning's drawings, offers a rhythmic and affectionate view of contemporary life in a city's streets, parks and gay bars. Includes written contributions by Eileen Myles and Aleksandar Hemon, and a conversation with the New York painter Amy Sillman.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Wexner Center for the Arts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47058000314608,"sku":"9781881390411","price":24.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781881390411_p0.jpg?v=1763603743","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781881390411","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
