Summary:
This monograph covers the past 20 years of New York-based artist Christine Corday's (born 1970) practice. Corday combines her interests in the sciences and fine arts to paint, sculpt, draw and design. Her artistic approach consists of manipulation of matter into different states, producing massive sculptures that viewers are meant to experience through touch, leaving memories on the surface of her work. 0Her public works and solo installations include 'Sans Titre' (2020) a two-pound object installed within a star on earth, Saint-Paul-Lez-Durance, FR; 'GENESES' (2019), a massive sculpture of stainless steel and concrete commissioned by the City of San Francisco for Moscone Center; 'Relative Points' (2019), a twelve-piece installation of monumental compressed cylinders, each 10,000 pounds of iron, elemental metal and metalloid grit at the Contemporary Art Museum St. Louis; 'Protoist Series: Selected Forms' (2015) at Los Angeles County Museum of Art; and UNE (2008) at The High Line, New York City. 0In Spain, Corday formulated a black pigment color later selected by architect Michael Arad as the touch-focused color for the National September 11 Memorial (2011), Ground Zero, which Corday applied by hand through a heated application.
