| | | | Seth Price: Folklore U.S.Edited by Bettina Funcke. Text by Seth Price. Conversations with Seth Price, Christopher Bollen, et al.
 Based on a project at Documenta 13, this publication presents new multimedia works by New York artist Seth Price (born 1973) that meditate on today's material (fabric) culture. Folklore U.S. includes paintings on plywood, vacuum-formed rope paintings and cloth sculptures fabricated in NYC's garment district.
"Dress rehearsal for SS12 fashion show", dOCUMENTA (13), Kassel, 2012, is reproduced from Seth Price: Folklore U.S..PRAISE AND REVIEWSBOMB Magazine Ben Fama The interviews tell of the tedium of working in designer fashion and the obstacles to correctly gather and produce a single piece, referred to as “soft sculpture” (Morgan-Cleveland rejects the phrase). Pictures run alongside the interview transcriptions, and the “containers” (as Price’s pieces are called) are coded both familiar and uncanny, approachable and scrambled, products with mixed signifiers that might be ugly, or not. For instance, on a piece called Bag with Decorative Pattern and Federal Element, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation—printed liners rattle nerves (it is tax season, after all), but the other printed liners suggest a culture of DIY-patternmaking and lo-fi nostalgia. Price unites material and concept as higher-than-high accessories that could be used, but won’t be. |
