About this book
Following in the great artist book tradition of John Baldessari and Edward Ruscha, the UCCA has called on Aaron Curry along with LA artists Kathryn Andrews, Alex Israel, Matthew Monahan, Sterling Ruby, Ryan Trecartin, and Kaari Upson to make individual artist books for 'The Los Angeles Project' in Beijing. For his first artist book, Ryan Trecartin compiles over one hundred composited images created by mining his personal Instagram and Snapchat feeds, screenshots, and photos, all captured and archived in his phone. While developing several new bodies of work that encompass video, sculpture, and installation (which debut in Berlin and Los Angeles in September and October 2014, respectively) Trecartin collected images which functioned as both reference material and conceptual pivot points for his expansive new bodies of work.
