With over 200 images of Thuring's work, as well as written contributions by Laura Smith and Helen Marten, and a conversation with Ralph Rugoff, \u003ci\u003eVery Fantastically Arranged\u003c\/i\u003e offers a deep dive into the themes, obsessions, and slippery subjects the artist investigates in her vibrant, multi-layered, and often irreverent paintings. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThuring paints fluidly and intuitively, without preparatory drawings, and arranges imagery in opposition to logical and comfortable hierarchies. In a constantly filtering world, her fractured yet deft compositions of people and places create intriguingly disjunctive images that interweave technological, human, and natural worlds. Thuring's practice relishes but undermines the inherent flatness of painting, destabilizing the viewer and forcing them to reconsider how they have been conditioned to look and see. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis volume reveals, as Laura Smith writes, Thuring's endeavor \"to assemble, repeat and reconstruct details from her environment, biography and history into a new and ever-evolving narrative that is as much ours as it is hers to complete.\"\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"The MIT Press","offers":[{"title":"Very Fantastically Arranged | Caragh Thuring | Paperback | 9780262048453 | New | Art 1557201","offer_id":50579135365378,"sku":"1557201","price":59.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0609\/3327\/5906\/files\/81A8Z-EjzOL.jpg?v=1790958999","url":"https:\/\/boswellsbooks.com\/products\/very-fantastically-arranged","provider":"Boswell's Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
