Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. PRIVATE I: The memoir of Lynn Hershman Leeson, the artist who was making work about surveillance, artificial intelligence and invented identity decades before the culture caught upfrom the Roberta Breitmore performances to the Tilda Swinton filmsillustrated throughout from her own archive.For five years in the 1970s, Lynn Hershman Leeson lived part of her life as somebody else. Roberta Breitmore was a performance persona who moved through the real world and its institutions, and she prefigured by decades everything the culture would later come to say about digital identity and surveillance. At the time, most of the art world declined to call her art at all.Private I is Hershman Leesons account of a career spent making work that arrived too early to be recognized. In the 1970s women artists were routinely dismissed unless they could be attached to a more successful man. Defying that, Hershman Leeson built her own path: the Roberta Breitmore series, the Video Diaries, and the feature films starring Tilda Swinton, Conceiving Ada and Teknolust. Her installations went up in the places that would have herhotels, department store windows, San Quentin State Prison, housing projectswhile she raised her daughter and endured long stretches of poverty. To make room for other artists she launched The Floating Museum, which put site-specific work into reclaimed public space. She was among the first to document women artists lives and work on film, in the acclaimed !W.A.R. (Women, Art, Revolution).The list of technologies she has taken up and turned against itself is the real spine of the book: video, artificial intelligence, chatbots, touch screens, robotics, and finally her own DNA. Each was a way of asking the same question about identity, and a way of warning about surveillance long before anyone wanted the warning. Her collaborators and fellow travelersEleanor Coppola, George Lucas, Tilda Swintonappear here as people rather than credits.Private I is also an object: a full-color volume drawn from Hershman Leesons own archive, with rare documentation of Roberta Breitmore and the early interactive works. At its center is a portrait of resilienceof a life sustained through friendship, family and fearless invention, by an artist who turned out to be right.

Lynn Hershman Leeson: A History of Her Own is the first reader of essays devoted to the work of the renowned artist and media pioneer Lynn Hershman Leeson, published on the occasion of her first solo exhibition in Duesseldorf, at the Julia Stoschek Foundation, curated by Lisa Long. Bringing together over forty reprints and newly commissioned contributions across 400 pages, the book spans five decades of Hershman Leesons groundbreaking practice and traces its impact across disciplines.Since the 1960s, Hershman Leeson has shaped artistic discourses on performance, interactivity, cyborgs, surveillance, artificial intelligence, and biogenetics, paving a path that many generations would follow. She has collaborated with some of the most significant scientists of our time, bringing art into complex dialogues with science. As a professor and a critic, Hershman Leeson has written extensively on art, media, and politics. Between 1974 and 1978, she commissioned more than three hundred artists to present artworks in public spaces as part of the Floating Museum, which she founded as a platform for artists excluded from institutions at the time. Alongside her art making, Hershman Leeson has written and directed six feature films and documentaries, a selection of whichincluding Conceiving Ada (1997), Teknolust (2002), and !Women Art Revolution (2010)will be screened as part of the public program accompanying the exhibition.Texts by Katherine C.

Hardback. Condition: New. A visionary life at the intersection of art, technology, and feminism.In Private I, Lynn Hershman Leeson - one of the most influential conceptual artists of our time-shares her personal journey and the struggle for her visionary work to be recognized as art. In the 1970s, women artists were often dismissed unless linked to more successful male counterparts. Defying this marginalization, Hershman Leeson carved her own path, creating groundbreaking conceptual works such as her Roberta Breitmore series, the Video Diaries, and films starring Tilda Swinton, including Conceiving Ada and Teknolust. Her innovative installations took place in unconventional venues-hotels, department store windows, San Quentin State Prison, and housing projects-while she raised her daughter and endured long periods of poverty.To support fellow artists, she launched The Floating Museum, bringing site-specific art to reclaimed public spaces. She was also one of the first to document women artists' lives and work in her acclaimed documentary !W.A.R. (Women, Art, Revolution). Private I traces her lifelong commitment to experimentation-embracing film, video, AI, chatbots, touch screens, even her own DNA-to challenge ideas of identity and warn of the perils of technology and surveillance. At its core, Private I is a moving portrait of resilience, artistic innovation, and personal transformation through friendship, family, and fearless creativity. …
