Proyecto AMIL is pleased to announce the book launch of Videos from This Woman: Performance Documentation 1997-2010 in the context of the art fair PARC 2018.
Videos from This Woman: Performance Documentation 1997-2010 is the first critical and long-overdue revision of the work of Elena Tejada-Herrera and results from the exhibition of the same name that took place at Proyecto AMIL in 2016.
Edited by Florencia Portocarrero, the publication compiles the work of Tejada-Herrera through an extensive portfolio specially created by the artist and includes unpublished essays by: Portocarrero; the artist Armando Andrade Tudela; and the curator Miguel A. López. The book also presents a dossier of texts by: the artist (originally circulated as an independent edition in 1999) and a conversation between Tejada-Herrera; the visual anthropologist Karen Bernedo; the artist Claudia Coca; and the performer, teacher and cultural promoter, Lorena Peña.
The design of Videos from This Woman: Performance Documentation 1997-2010 is the outcome of a collaboration between vm& estudio grafico and the artist. The book will be presented by Elena Tejada-Herrera; Natalia Majluf (Director of the Museo de Arte de Lima – MALI) and Florencia Portocarrero (Curator of Public Programs at Proyecto AMIL).
