Ann Gallagher

    Ann Gallagher is the slightly more civilized alter ego of authors L.A. Witt, Lauren Gallagher, and Lori A. Witt, or so she tells herself. When not wreaking havoc in Spain with her husband and trusty two-headed Brahma bull, she writes romances similar to her wilder counterparts, but with less heat.

      Exploring scale and perception, José Damasceno's imaginative and surreal approach to sculpture is catalogued in this comprehensive monograph. Brazilian artist José Damasceno is best known for large-scale sculptures and installations that deconstruct and transform common objects from pencils and cigarettes to hammers and strings into the unfamiliar. Damasceno's work is preoccupied with transformation, moving from one medium to another to form a layered process that surprises and disorientates the viewer. Having represented Brazil at the 52nd Venice Biennale in 2007, Damasceno's body of work is catalogued in full for the first time here and features over 200 colour illustrations alongside texts by by writer Aurora García and professor at PUC José Thomaz Basu, plus an interview with Ann Gallagher, curator of the Tate Museum in London. . Published in association with Editora Cobogó, Rio de Janeiro, Brasil.
