The publication includes a biographical “Time Lion” by the artist in her own idiosyncratic language, spanning her practice from the 1960s to today and detailing the many figures and events that have informed her work. It is illustrated with materials from Oleszko's personal archive—from family photographs to performance documentation, scripts, magazine covers, drawings, film stills, among others.
Also included are newly commissioned essays by Columbia University professor and art historian Julia Bryan-Wilson; New York-based cultural worker, writer, and researcher Marie Catalano; Budapest-based curator, writer, and artist Gyula Muskovics; and American chef, food writer, and close friend of Oleszko, Ruth Reichl, along with a text matching her pun-filled style by Oleszko’s friend, the late artist Jim Pomeroy. The publication is designed by Tiffany Malakooti.
The book will be available for purchase at the launch, or it can be pre-ordered at a discounted rate for a limited time.
