Other Situations, by Liliana Porter, is a monograph that gives a descriptive account of the eponymous exhibition organized by the SCAD Museum of Art in Savannah, Georgia, in 2017. It also includes the play entitled Them, which was specially commissioned for the show and performed in New York at The Kitchen in 2018 as part of a collaboration between El Museo del Barrio and SCAD Museum of Art. This is the first publication to incorporate material related to the artist’s theatrical work, a central element that serves as a gateway to understanding the exhibition and the body of work that composes it.
Other Situations examines the work of Liliana Porter (b. Argentina, 1941) from 1969 to 2018
The book is the catalogue of an exhibition at the SCAD Museum of Art in Savannah, Georgia, and at El Museo del Barrio in New York.
Liliana moved to New York in 1964 where, among other things, she co- founded the New York Graphic Workshop
Liliana’s work explores the conflicting boundaries between reality and fiction, and the ways in which images are circulated and consumed.
Other Situations presents more than thirty objects and two videos, organized around thematic groupings that highlight the evolution of the artist over five decades in a non-linear manner.
