Lee Miller

Yael Bartana

Modern Art Oxford

Emily Jacir

"Artists Yael Bartana and Emily Jacir were both born in 1970. Their work in video, photography and other media explores what it means to be, respectively, Israeli and Palestinian. Addressing issues of national identity, displacement and personal freedom, they are among the most impressive artists of their generation." "Lee Miller (1907-1977) has a unique place in the history of twentieth century photography. She is best known for her Surrealist infused reports for Vogue Magazine during the Second World War." "This special book, which both accompanies and is a legacy of the exhibition Wherever I Am, includes essays on Yael Bartana's work by award winning novelist Linda Grant and by curator Galit Eilat; on Emily Jacir's work by critic Tom Vanderbilt and the late Edward W. Said, a writer and intellectual of world renown; and on Lee Miller's wartime photography by David Alan Mellor, Professor of Art History at the University of Sussex." "With an introduction by Andrew Nairne, curator of Wherever I Am and Director of Modern Art Oxford, discussing the background to the exhibition, the book also includes reproductions of works by each artist, biographies and bibliographies."--BOOK JACKET.
