Book Release Orgy For Ten People In One Body By Isabelle Albuquerque

Powerful and provocative work Isabelle Albuquerque is quickly becoming a force to be reckoned with in the art world. Whether you're a fan of sculpture, feminist theory, or abstract expressionism, her pieces have the ability to challenge audiences across tastes.

In her latest book, titled after her recent solo presentation at Jeffrey Deitch, Orgy for Ten People in One Body, the Los Angeles-based artist Isabelle Albuquerque documents a series of ten sculptures exploring the human body's complexities. Published by Pacific in collaboration with Jeffrey Deitch Gallery and Nicodim Gallery, this volume promises to be a must-read for anyone drawn to contemporary art and the intersection of gender, sexuality, and identity.

The sculptures are based on the artist's body - an expressive and erotic form of self-portraiture - and rendered in materials ranging from fur to bronze, walnut to resin, and rubber. Each chapter corresponds to one of the ten sculptures, giving readers a methodical look at Albuquerque's creative process. A palimpsest of reference images, process photos, and installation views establish an immersive experience in print. Two conversations with Albuquerque, one with Arthur Jafa and another with Miranda July, add depth and context to the artist's work.

Albuquerque's work probes the intersection of the human body, memory, and identity. She explores the nuances of the human experience, weaving together personal and societal narratives through sculpture. Her work invites patrons to challenge their own experiences and biases and to question the world around them.

Isabelle Albuquerque is set to participate in an upcoming pop-up show, curated by Global Director Ben Lee Ritchie Handler in collaboration with the Green Family Art Foundation, which will coincide with the Dallas Art Fair. The show titled Maternity Leave: None of Women Born promises to be a thought-provoking exploration of motherhood and its impact on women's lives.

With her unique perspective and unwavering dedication to exploring complex and often controversial themes, Albuquerque is pushing the boundaries of contemporary art and paving the way for a new generation of bold and innovative artists.
