Rachel Harrison: Sitting in a Room

This richly illustrated publication Sitting in a Room highlights the recent work of the American artist Rachel Harrison, who takes a porous, hybrid approach to objects both made and found. Spanning mediums that include sculpture, drawing, photography and painting, Harrison’s nimble, layered method has always escaped easy categorization.

This volume—which takes its name from a seminal work of sound art by Alvin Lucier—documents Harrison’s solo show at the Astrup Fearnley Museet in Oslo (Sept. 2022 – Feb. 2023) and follows its distinctive format, with each gallery conceived as a specific room, from “Sculpture Court” to “Town Square,” “Gym,” “Living Room” and “Cabinet.” [publishers’ note]
