Please join EAI for a special launch event celebrating the publication of An Art of Limina: Gary Hill's Works and Writings, a new monograph devoted to the works of artist Gary Hill. At EAI, Hill will appear in conversation with the book's authors, George Quasha and Charles Stein, poets, writers and artists who have worked interactively and performed with Hill for over three decades. Hill will discuss and screen selections from his early single-channel videos, tracing the development of his distinctive approach to language, sound and the moving image. Written in close connection with the artist and featuring a foreward by Lynne Cooke, An Art of Limina is the most comprehensive and in-depth treatment of Hill's work to date, presenting extensive information on 104 of his works from the 1970s through the present, as well as seminal writings by the artist. __________________________________
