Procedurals

More about the book

The artist and writer Walead Beshty (born 1976 in London, lives and works in Los Angeles) became known through his photographic works. His oeuvre spans numerous media, among them sculpture, painting, installation, and video. For Beshty, treating each medium and group of works as autonomous and subject to given circumstances is of the greatest importance. 'Procedurals' offers an overview of Beshty?s works from the last four years, including Copper Surrogates, sculptures made of polished copper; Office Works, office machines that have been taken apart and impaled on a rod; and new photograms.
