{"title":"B. Wurtz","description":"\u003cp\u003eB. Wurtz (b. 1948, USA) has developed a practice over more than five decades around the overlooked materials of daily life: bags, shoelaces, food containers, socks, buttons, paper, wire, and domestic fragments. Rather than monumentalizing these things, Wurtz alters their status through arrangement, attention, and placement — making the minor object available as a site of sustained attention without resolving it into either craft or spectacle.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHis work was shown at Feature, New York, under Hudson’s direction, and has been included in major survey exhibitions of American art. It is held in public collections including the Art Institute of Chicago. Wurtz’s practice has been consistently difficult to classify — moving between sculpture, assemblage, drawing, and daily life — and has attracted renewed critical attention in recent years.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eItems in this section include exhibition catalogues and printed matter in which Wurtz’s work passes from object into image, from exhibition into archive, and from daily life into art-historical category.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"b-wurtz-daily-life-1970-1993-feature-new-york-1993","title":"B.

Wurtz’s practice has long moved through the overlooked object: bags, shoelaces, food containers, socks, buttons, paper, domestic fragments. Rather than monumentalizing these things, he alters their status through arrangement, attention, and placement.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis booklet operates in parallel with that logic. It is not simply documentation after the exhibition. It is a second support through which the work becomes legible: image, interview, chronology, bibliography, gallery name, object record. Published by Feature, the catalogue also carries the trace of Hudson’s gallery as a specific system of circulation — one that brought modest, resistant, difficult-to-classify practices into view without smoothing them into market polish.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHere Wurtz’s work passes from sculpture into printed matter, from daily object into exhibition, from exhibition into archive.
