Summary:
Fujiko Nakaya's collaborations with nonhuman forces, such as water and wind, have come to define a unique practice that spans painting, drawing, video, and sculpture. One of the first woman artists to work with video, Nakaya (b. 1933) gained prominence in the 1960s as a member of the New York-based collective Experiments in Arts and Technology (E.A.T.) and became internationally renowned for her fog sculptures. Driven by early ecological concerns, Nakaya's work deals with water and air--mediums that have particular resonance in the face of the climate crisis. -- Page 4 of cover.
