Aaron Curry

de Karen Marta, Aaron Curry, Brian Roettinger

For 'Boxxes', Aaron Curry created 160 unique pieces of art which he then destroyed. Before their destruction, Curry photographed these works so that the book would contain not only the last record of all these works but would transform and combine them into one new singular work of art. Following in the great artist book tradition of John Baldessari and Edward Ruscha, the UCCA has called on Aaron Curry along with LA artists Kathryn Andrews, Alex Israel, Matthew Monahan, Sterling Ruby, Ryan Trecartin, and Kaari Upson to make individual artist books for 'The Los Angeles Project' in Beijing.
