More DescriptionOf the work and ideas of Daniel J. Martinez, Peter Sellars has said: "[He is] one of the most important and articulate artists of his generation. Impossible to pin down, a genuinely free spirit, he is actually fearless. What medium does he work in? Life. Where will he strike next? Who knows?" This volume documents every major project Martinez has completed to date and includes his controversial and thought-provoking public art pieces. His cross-media cultural production is conceptual in its approach to photography, video, film, sculpture, and language in installation, performance, and public art. Adding depth and commentary to this complex body of work are critics and curators David Levi Strauss, Coco Fusco, Mary Jane Jacob, Susan Otto, Victor Zamudio-Taylor, and Roberto Bedoya.
