Maren Hassinger: Living Moving Growing

Los Angeles–born, New York–based artist Maren Hassinger’s practice emerged alongside and thematically with that of the other members of the 1970s avant-garde art collective Studio Z, including Senga Nengudi, David Hammons and Ulysses Jenkins. Across sculpture, performance, installation and video, Hassinger employs industrial, natural and everyday materials to address social and cultural issues dealing with our relationship to the environment.

This book expands scholarship on Hassinger’s groundbreaking practice, featuring newly commissioned essays, a roundtable conversation and an interview with the artist. With robust archival photo essays that include documentation of never-before-seen works, a chronology and a comprehensive exhibition history,Living Moving Growing presents an unprecedented overview of the artist’s life and career.
