Suzanne Bocanegra: Poorly Watched Girls

Published after Bocanegra’s 2018 solo exhibition at FWM, Suzanne Bocanegra: Poorly Watched Girls, this book explores the ways that our popular entertainments theatricalize women in trouble—spiritual trouble, emotional trouble, and romantic trouble. Inspired by an opera, a film, and a ballet, Bocanegra, whose work involves large-scale installation and performance, draws on the breadth of her practice to create a multidisciplinary contemporary art experience.
