Catalogue accompanying Staging the Self, an exhibition of Martha Wilson’s photographic and video works which ran from 20 March – 10 May, 2009. "This exhibition chronicles the interwoven stages of Wilson’s creative contributions within the context of early feminist and socially engaged studio practice as well as her dissemination of the work of like-minded individuals through the auspices of Franklin Furnace. Central to the exhibition is Wilson’s presence as an agent of transformative change, initially in her artwork and then her facilitation of cultural change through her Directorial presence at Franklin Furnace. Wilson’s selection of 30 projects from 30 years of programming at Franklin Furnace also becomes a self-portrait of sorts as she highlights works that are historically significant for pushing boundaries within exhibition and display culture as well as society at large." (Quote taken from the artexte website.) Contains an essay by NSCAD art history professor and artist in her own right Jayne Wark, a list of works in the exhibition, and 22 pages of colour plates.
