Ben-Tor & Carmi are longstanding partners in art and life with a robust exhibition record. TEXT BOOK: TAMY BEN-TOR & MIKI CARMI attends to the realities of this collaboration and serves as a companion to the bound image collection TEXT BOOK: TAMY BEN-TOR & MIKI CARMI. Text Book's essays intersect art historical analyses, an artist's interpretation, the reactions of a playwright and reflections of a film director, and a work of experimental fiction. Here, Minerva Projects aims to upend the usual ways painting and performance art are described. Graphic designer Joshua Gamma interprets Ben-Tor and Carmi's practice liberallynever simply reproducing images of works, but instead distilling their visual vocabulary into core elements that operate as a language alongside the commissioned authors' texts.
The contributions in TEXT BOOK include Academy Award nominated filmmaker Martin Brest's mapping of his experience of Ben Tor and Carmi's work; Internationally acclaimed artist, author, and theorist, Coco Fusco's analysis of Carmi's innovations in painting, bringing attention to histories of eugenics and the grotesque as pertain to his contemporary art practice; Norman Chernick-Zeitlin poetic fictional narratives; Playwright Adara Meyers' "Gutter Notes"; Kosuke Kawahara's rendering of the artists through interconnected themes of the cosmos, Buddhism, fermentation, and dreamscapes; Alpesh Kantilal Patel's art historical scholarship, curating, and criticism reflect his queer, anti-racist, and transnational approach to contemporary art; and the writing of Kate Gaudy.
