Spanning forty years, Breaking the Binding is the first career retrospective of Conceptual artist Celia Álvarez Muñoz (b. 1937, El Paso, TX). Featuring over thirty-five artworks—including large-scale immersive installations, photographic series, and book projects—this major exhibition highlights the artist’s playful, witty style, often characterized by her use of storytelling, and of bilingual puns and mistranslations in both text and image. Muñoz often draws inspiration from her lived experience as a resident of the United States-Mexico borderlands. Learn more here.
Copies of Breaking the Binding will be available for purchase at the Museum.

The morning introduction and publisher’s panel, led by Swanson, provides an overview of the photobook development process and the many potential avenues for bringing projects to the book form. Presenting publishers include Tiffany Jones (Overlapse), Dewi Lewis (Dewi Lewis Publishing) and David Chickey (Radius Books).
Following an on-site lunch, the afternoon session begins with Jon Evans, Chief of Libraries & Archives at the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, outlining the role of an art research library and their collecting strategies. Evans will then be in conversation with artists Alejandro Cartagena, Barbara Ciurej & Lindsay Lochman, and Keliy Anderson-Staley, whose self-published photobooks have recently been acquired by the Hirsch Library at the MFAH, followed by an audience Q&A.
Finally, the audience will gain insights into publishing one’s work as Alexa Becker, Freelance Representative for Kehrer Verlag, and photographic artist Aimee McCrory discuss the publishing journey towards McCrory’s first book, the recently published Rollercoaster: Scenes from a Marriage (Kehrer Verlag, 2024)

AIPAD Talks - Sun Light Moon Shadow with Barbara Bosworth + Barbara Tannenbaum
On February 29 at 12 noon (EST), AIPAD Talks will present a conversation between photographer Barbara Bosworth and Barbara Tannenbaum, curator of photography at the Cleveland Museum of Art, via Zoom. The two will tour Bosworth’s exhibition Sun Light Moon Shadow, on view at the museum through June 30, which includes nine monumental color images of the sky and celestial bodies and six more intimately scaled black-and-white photographs. The photographs on view—of a crescent moon, the light from a lunar eclipse, or an expanse of clouds, to name a few—were inspired by Bosworth’s nighttime walks with her father when she was a child and they would gaze up at the sky.

Ann Hamilton: Sense | Artist Talk + Book Signing | Santa Fe, NM
Radius Books is pleased to launch our new title Ann Hamilton: Sense with a live artist talk at SITE Santa Fe. Hamilton will give a presentation followed by Q&A with Nick Larsen and David Chickey, whose studio assistance and aesthetics were integral to the development of the book. Attendance is free and open to the public, but space is limited so we ask that you register in advance.
While Hamilton is best known for the material surround and tactility of her large, site responsive installations, this recent body of work focuses on the photographic and evolves from processes developed over the last decade working with shallow depth of field flatbed scanners and occluding membranes to image animal specimens, stones, fallen leaves and people. Most notably, in her exhibition, the common sense, at The Henry Art Gallery in Seattle. In describing the work Hamilton has written: “Sense is contact, is the touch of human and non-human animals, is the fold of woven cloth, is words in fragments and in woven lines and like all making comes from acts of attentions, both finding and composing, touching and being touched.”
The shallow focus of the fallen leaves and bird study skins installed in the Front Gallery detail and magnify where skin and leaf make contact with the scanner glass and shadow where they bend and lift away. The simultaneous detail of focus and blur, of proximity and distance creates a felt sense of each specimen as it folds, curls, bends and dries in its individual and unique way. The images, printed on tissue weight Japanese gampi paper, mounted to cloth and suspended from metal rods form a scroll-like landscape and surround, fully filling the gallery walls.
Hamilton’s practice has long explored the relation between text and textile and the interior second gallery exhibits her more intimate collage work and ongoing series pages. In these new diptychs and triptychs the color, opacity and transparency of cloth fragments meets the abstractness of language sifted from loose fragments of sliced books, themselves the residue of another project. Mounted to book endpapers, these singular words and phrases, the textile’s imperfect geometric shapes, and the delicately unraveled threads are simultaneously commonplace and lyric.
Ann Hamilton is internationally recognized for her large-scale multimedia installations. performance collaborations, print media, and public projects - most notably the 2017 project for the MTA subway at the World Trade Center. Among her many honors, Hamilton has been the recipient of the National Medal for the Arts, the MacArthur Fellowship, United States Artists Fellowship, NEA Visual Arts Fellowship, and the Guggenheim Memorial Fellowship. Hamilton represented the United States in the 1999 Venice Biennale, and has exhibited extensively around the world including a museum-wide installation at the Henry Art Gallery (Seattle, WA) in 2015 and 1992. Her work is included in the collections of the Cincinnati Art Museum (Cincinnati, OH), Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden (Washington, DC), Los Angeles County Museum of Art (Los Angeles, CA) and the Metropolitan Museum of Art (New York, NY), among many others.
