By repeatedly re-photographing her images, transferring them from video to film and back again, and manipulating them digitally, Michal Rovner creates photographic and video imagery that abstract familiar subjects like houses, animals, and people into ambiguous and iconic forms. Working with representation but against the traditions of narrative and documentary purpose, her artworks imply a tentative universe, one that is paradoxically peaceful and unsettled, vivid and shrouded, and completely counter-factual. If the changing nature of art has resulted in a general blurring of boundaries--between painting and photography, reality and memory, presence and absence--Rovner mines this haziness, refuses to respect borders, and exists completely in The Space Between .

Seller's Description:
VG-(scattered instances of light white & black speckled staining to front board edge. indentation to upper board edge near spine. upper corner bumped w/ rubbing & curling to corners. spine lightly sunned. curl front board. textblock edges foxed w/... Red cloth printed flex-binding. 288 pp., profusely illustrated. The Israeli-born visual artist's compelling image studies-by turns abstract, calligraphic, painterly, and filmic-confront nature, armed conflict, and the solitary individual. Her point of departure is never obvious, which places the viewer's arrival at a space of destination into more or less the same problematic. In addition to all the visual material, the book hosts thetranscript of a remarkable conversation between Rovner and artist Leon Golub. Published on the occasion of the exhibition at the Whitney Museum of American Art, New York, July 11-October 13, 2002.
