In his sculptural practice, American artist Charles Ray (born 1953) has long been fascinated by the concept of representation, the depiction of the human form and questions of scale. Known for his keen sense of--and respect for--the uncanny, Ray has carved a widely admired path that crisscrosses the arenas of minimalism and conceptual art, while continually pushing the boundaries of visual perception. This book marks the long-term exhibition of works at Glenstone Museum selected by the artist, including Baled Truck (2013), a sculpture made of solid machined stainless steel, emblematic of the artist's meticulous fabrication process. It also includes a conversation with--and text by--the artist and installation photography.

The third installment commemorating Charles Ray's rotating exhibitions at Glenstone.
The diverse sculptural practice of American sculptor Charles Ray (born 1953) has long challenged perceptions of scale, material and subject matter, necessitating multiple viewings over time. Charles Ray: Volume III is part of an ongoing series of publications commemorating rotating exhibitions of the artist's work at Glenstone Museum, the third of which opened in the winter of 2021. Organized in close collaboration with the artist, the selections showcase Ray's practice from early in his career to the present day, with four works ranging in material from concrete and steel to the handmade paper used to realize a recent self-portrait, Return to the One (2020). This catalog includes documentation of the exhibition at Glenstone, an original essay by the artist, a contribution from art historian Anna Lovatt and an introduction by Emily Rales, cofounder and director of Glenstone Museum.
Couvrant musique, art et littérature, les scènes industrielles et punk de San Francisco à la fin des années 1970 et au début des années 1980 étaient diverses mais unies par une attitude bricoleuse et anti-autoritaire. La photographe Ruby Ray était là pour capturer le tout dans le même esprit débrouillard. Avec son travail apparaissant dans le légendaire zine punk Search & Destroy et son successeur, RE / Search , Rubt Ray s'est trouvée à l'épicentre d'un moment culturel vital, fait de provocation et de créativité.
