Carrie Mae Weems: The Heart of the Matter
by Sarah Hermanson Meister (Editor), Carrie Mae Weems (Photographer), Jeffrey Hoone (Contributor), Dawoud Bey (Contributor), Dr. Erich Kessel (Contributor), Dr. Tiana Reid (Contributor), Dr. Megan Kincaid (Contributor)
Critical insight into the mind and eye of an artist renowned for her work investigating history, identity, and power.
Transcending medium, chronology, and geography, Carrie Mae Weems: The Heart of the Matter puts the artist—as well as her spiritual and philosophical journeys—at the center of the discourse. Weems is a touchstone artist, renowned for her work investigating history, identity, and power. A comprehensive monograph, The Heart of the Matter features generous presentations of landmark bodies of work, from Family Pictures and Stories (1981–82) to her most recent series on the Black church. Throughout the book, the artist’s spiritual musings provide critical insight into the iconic artist’s mind and eye. Newly commissioned essays and additional contributions from esteemed thinkers and scholars across generations underscore the singular value of Weems’s vision in grappling with the complexities and injustices of the world around us. Carrie Mae Weems: The Heart of the Matter will accompany a related exhibition at Gallerie d’Italia, Turin, opening in April 2025.
