CROWNER, SARAH - Patterns

"Sarah Crowner’s Patterns is the second artist book in a series that she has been developing around the formal aspects of her painting practice. In Patterns, Crowner assembles and layers a multitude of patterns that have inspired her recent work. This material is comprised of repetitive visual systems found in nature, architecture, fashion, sculpture, and painting that she has culled from a variety of source media: photographs, magazine pages, drawings, and advertisements, among others. The artist has collaged this material into a moving narrative that establishes a conversation with images of her own work and ephemera, which are interspersed throughout the book. Patterns provides rare insight into the artist’s process, situating the reader inside the formal systems that populate our day-to-day lives. While the artist’s exhibitions and paintings demonstrate a hard edge, this publication skirts those edges with corporeality, either through the artist’s sketchbook marks, textured drawings, and torn pages, or through the images’ many subjects living their lives: trying on shoes, dancing, commuting, recreating, or working. While painting has always been concerned with the act of viewing (something Crowner does astutely), it is here that we can see the artist and her subjects living amongst and generating the visual patterns that have come to define her work. Sarah Crowner (b. 1974, Philadelphia) lives and works in New York. Crowner’s work was the subject of a solo exhibition at MASS MoCA (Massachusetts) in 2016 and has been exhibited in group exhibitions at the Institute of Contemporary Art (Philadelphia), The Jewish Museum (New York), the Museum of Contemporary Art (Detroit), the Museum of Fine Arts (Boston), the Museum of Modern Art (New York), the Walker Art Center (Minneapolis), the Whitney Museum of American Art (New York), WIELS Contemporary Art Centre (Brussels), and the Zacheta National Museum of Art (Warsaw). In 2017 her work was the subject of a site-specific installation at the Wright Restaurant, commissioned by the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum. 96 pages 8 x 10 inches Paperback 81 Color and 13 B&W images Edition of 1000 April 2018 ISBN: 9780991558582" - Primary Information.

After nearly a decade of false starts, multiple game plans veering off the rails, and a handful of shattered hopes and/or dreams, the odyssey is finally complete—the new Fusetron site is here.

This is the first phase of a multipart rollout that will span the next few months: the currently browsable stock includes miscellaneous new releases from the past 8+ months (we have a lot of catching up to do), plus approximately a third of our backstock. Note that we’ve reduced/slashed prices on many titles and will continue to do so in order to make room for new stock. We’ll also be expanding / tweaking / improving / debugging the site itself (for example, we still have work to do on the automated international postage system, not to mention the inevitable inventory discrepancies that come with transferring an ancient and massive database to a new system).

Over the next few months, as we take inventory, clean house, and delve into our storage, we will be uploading thousands of additional items, gradually, on a near-daily basis. This will include the majority of the LPs, as well as many titles, in all formats, once thought long-gone. Many currently “sold out” items are likely to resurface.

Finally, once our general backstock is up (probably in the next two or three months) we’ll begin making our extensive stockpile of rarities available online for the first time: tons of random out-of-print titles, "deadstock," warehouse finds, secondhand collectibles, etc., accumulated over the past few decades.

Frequent/returning customers will be getting early access to these items. Details to follow on how this will work (a priority mailing list? a 'frequent flyer'-like program?), but it will not be based on dollars spent. We want to reward those who consistently support us, especially in the discogs marketplace era (to those who show up trying to poach five copies of a one-off rarity, and nothing else, ever… ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ ).

So—we suggest you take some time to dig through the site—even we’ve been surprised by what’s been turning up, and there’s much more to come.
